What was this thread about again?.. Right. RBHill. Well, he's back so, what can I say. Good for him?

Oh, those were the good ol' days, ey?

My oldest kid brought a questionaire from school testing their music history background. Several of her friends were with her and I tried to help them with this and also instill some interest. I was appalled that her young friends have never heard any Bach. I played some that I thought would be familiar and part of the consciousness of their brains. N ...[text shortened]... ots coming up.

Which? Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich? Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ? Von Himmel
hoch? Puer natus in Bethlehem? Von Himmel kam der Engel Schar? In dulci jubilo?
And what instruments? Where was this done? During your service?
