The only section that needs some work is On the Road Again, we’re trying to find appropriate music for it and should have it all going in a week or so…

Oops, wrong message!

We are, in fact, experiencing some minor technical difficulties with the provision of classical musical interludes on our pages. We are working to restore the service as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and thank you for your patience.

Note on Saturday, June 1, 2013

We now have about 90% of our maintenance work done. It should all be completed and we should be back to normal starting on Tuesday morning June 4, 2013. Thanks for your continued patience. We hope you will enjoy the music we have installed so far. We will get out of your way shortly so that you can enjoy the entire package!

And, please let us know what you think of these changes…do you like them or hate them? Send us a comment and let us know, because NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE and things can be changed or adjusted. As someone once said: “YOU DA BOSS”

I just think I'm the boss

We’ve modified the pictures section of the site by adding new pictures and a new system for viewing them. Check it out, we think you’ll enjoy it. And the best thing is, if you see a picture you like in either of the two presentations you can stop the show and download that photo to your desktop for your future enjoyment.

There are still two presentations:

1. for the churches we have visited, and

2. for general photos with calendar picture potential.

Today, after several days of testing, we can now offer you the ability to share most of our articles and posts with your family and friends by using the following media:

e-mail, facebook, twitter, pocket, stumbleupon,

reddit, pinterest and google +1.

You’ll find the appropriate buttons at the bottom of each post or article. They’re easy to use and they’re fast.

So, if you like what you see and read on the site,  then please share it with those close to you and please don’t forget to “like us” too.

The like button is also at the bottom of most posts and articles.

With that in mind, we have now added background music to each church page. Elevator music it most assuredly is not! We have installed some very nice classical music pieces. We try to have a different piece for each church and we think they will please you.

In fact, we’ve done away with the testing and we’ve installed music on all the church pages and more. Pick any of our churches in any of the volumes and have a listen. The music is set for you to chose to play it or not. All you have to do is press the small “play arrow” and stop it whenever you wish. But most of all enjoy! Remember that we have not touched the Slideshows.

If you like what you hear please let us know your thoughts!

Here’s a  sample for you: 

Play: Bach’s: Ouverture n.4, BWV1069 in D
