I have never understood Savannah's fascination with BC. I went there and graduated and I can tell you most of those kids are less than honorable. Very few of them even join the military like I did.

@greenbay357

Less than honorable than who? By and large, I'd put BC's student body ahead of the SCCPS. And, I don't think BC has ever made it a goal to have students go into the armed services. However, I'm happy you opted to serve and thank you.

Hello. This is Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, and not The First Noel. LOL! Fabulous organist!

Sounds like the First Nowell to me.

When I go to Savannah someday, I'll stop by this cathedral and hear that Noack organ! It'll sound just as excellent in person as in YouTube!!!

I studied organ at St. John the Baptist with Patti Schreck when I was young.  Ah the good ol' Noack. Nice recording.
