So what Mom got was his canned, repetitive spiel. That explains a lot. It also irritated me when I heard that.

It was to be played last and I guess the reverend what's-his-name felt it was his turn to have everyone's attention so he shut off the music. I think nearly everyone, including my mother in law whispered "Hey! I like That Song!" After that shared outburst (I say outburst because when 70 attendees whisper simultaneously it can be called nothing else)you could hear a pin drop on shag carpeting.
