A Poem:
Immoderate Musings;
Quibblesome Quarrels;
Risible Rhapsodies on
Music and Morals
(A versicular quodlibet of
sesquipedalian teradiddles,
dillies of diddling fiddle-faddle and
philosophical flapdoodle)

Music in Zion
Together Shall They Sing
While excellence is important, as are quality and aesthetic beauty in the temples we build, yet in the consecration of our talents, it can only be secondary to our loving one another and keeping our eye single to the glory of God. As with any of our collective labors in the gospel, to make the music of Zion, we ought to be as Zion, having our "hearts knit together in unity and love," "being stripped of pride" and envy, certainly never mocking the efforts of others or worrying about who has more talent or who ought to be in charge of things.

Statement on the Arts
We humans are all, by definition, artists, musicians, dancers, poets and actors - no matter the level of our awareness or participation.

George Birthington's Washday
In heretofore unseen fits of passion, normally self-restrained historians have been breaking into fistfights recently over the birthdate, not to mention the correct name, of the father of our country.
