Credit Crunch hits organists

However you spell it!

I played at a local church last Sunday and mentioned that I hadn't any more bookings for the year (as a freelance). The Music Secretary took pity on me and offered me a Saturday all-day booking to play Iona music for them.
Now I remember Music secretaries in extreme [Christian] churches. I had played (in 1986) for a Christian Science church, and the ambience was so secular that I got my packet of fags out and nearly lit the damn thing, right in front of her in the church corridor! Oops.
But as Harvey Fierstein said, Oops is when you douche with Drano. This was (almost) a full-blown "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
