homesick for where?

Seeing Marc Van Eyck's carillon video while on the bus to The Riverside Church panning across European churches (especially Belgian ones) and just now discovering Diest carillonneur Teun Michiels' hot website and photos make me miss Belgium. So now I have California (north and south), New England, and Belgium to miss.

As Rob, organist of the 1890 William Hill organ in Sydney Town Hall, quipped: We're never happy without something to complain about.

Quote from the Cornell Chimesmasters' glossy full color brochure: "Like steadfast seamstresses, the Cornell Chimesmasters have woven the emotional fabric of our fair Cornell through their daily chimes concerts." Instead of playing music "from Bach to Britney" as they say at Yale, the Cornell Chimesmasters "play music ranging from the Beatles to Beethoven."

Make that "from Byrd to Britney" :-p A very popular way to organize concerts in Belgium (at least until a few years ago) :-D
