Sometimes agree, sometimes not, but still...

The NLM has developed into something of a net community, a fact which came home to me this past weekend. I was doing a chant workshop and Gavin attended. Now, if you follow comments boxes, you will know that Gavin and I sometimes disagree. He thinks I'm way too tough on the mainstream Psalm writers and he finds nothing fundamentally unsettling about mainstream Mass settings made famous by the big publishers. He also happens to be very knowledgeable about the chant tradition, and shares with me and others the aspiration of making it a living part of our liturgical lives. In any case, it was a pleasure to have him at the workshop and we were fast friends, based on our polite discussions here. So here is proof that NLMers are a friendly and diverse lot!
