Sunday Song: Disney's Haunted Mansion Organ

Happy Halloween! This post is a little early. Enjoy!

More great posts coming soon

I have some great posts planned, but I just haven't had the time to sit down and get them written out. I'm directing a stake production and it has been taking most of my free time. The final performance is November 5th, and I'm hoping to have a little more free time after that.

My next lesson will be on proper hand position. I'm really excited to get it written and posted, and it's high on my priority list. I'm hoping to finish it soon. Thanks for sticking with me.

Stay tuned!

When I came home, I attempted to recreate the feeling behind that introduction, and came up with this, which I used for the adult session of stake conference in my stake:

I wanted to make this piece available to my readers as well. Here is my arrangement, free to you over at Google Docs.
I hope you get the same joy out of this introduction that I did. If you use it with your congregation, please let me know how it goes.
