One of the candidates mentioned for Pope is Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana. According to a story on NPR, he plays bass guitar. This pretty much insures that he won't be elected Pope. |

Oh, the bad decisions we make in our youth. If I would have known that, I would have taken up the trumpet so I could 'Herald into Heaven' the 2 or 3 guitar players who made it that far! |

I took up the Trumpet at the age of 10 , and the Bass at 15 .( still play both ) I wonder how long the line is for Pope Prospects wanting the gig ? I don't care for long lines personally ____. I wonder if there is an online application form ? As far as ulterior motives go just think of the swell custom Alembic Bass that Cardinal Peter Turkson could order if he becomes Pope ! I hope he makes it! An Alembic Bass fit for the Pope ______ must make COTM !______One would think? |
