My Laundry Basket makes an excellent repository for hymn books when the mood takes me to do some more work on the Japes' Ideal Hymn Book and Grand Index of All Hymn Books. This is a long term project, one only I'm likely ever to see, and the "All" is a bit of an exaggeration, as it's really the books I have in my collection... which is over 50. Um, maybe I do already have quite a lot of what is in print and available in the UK!
It all began when I was playing regularly in church, from books I was less familiar with, and expanded when I started moving around the variations of the Anglican church a lot, and to be known for having a certain interest in the subject. I've never been easy to categorise either theologically, liturgically, or musically.
So, as I'm up to date on chores, and other matters I've neglected of late, I'm playing with the hymn books again!! Such fun.
