“HOLY (drink) ORDERS!!” (or "From 'Hail Marys' to 'Bloody Marys'!")
As we were wandering around Chichester, England, my friend and I found “Wests Bar”, which is a great, friendly pub inside a former church.
The song is “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett.

"Gaudy Gaudi Fugue" by JazzRoc
Antoni Plàcid Guillem Gaudí i Cornet (1852 – 1926) – sometimes referred to by the Spanish translation of his name, Antonio Gaudí – was a Spanish, Catalan architect, who belonged to the Modernisme (Art Nouveau) movement and was famous for his unique style and highly individualistic designs
Gaudí was born in the province of Tarragona in southern Catalonia, Spain in 1852. While there is some dispute as to his birthplace – official documents state that he was born in the town of Reus, whereas others claim he was born in Riudoms, a small village 3 miles from Reus, it is certain that he was baptized in Reus a day after his birth. The artist's parents, Francesc Gaudí Serra and Antònia Cornet Bertran, both came from families of metalsmiths.
The youngest of five, Gaudí found he was too lame to play with friends his own age because of rheumatism. Because he was in considerable pain, he was rarely able to walk on foot and was forced to ride a donkey when he wanted to venture from his home. The fact that he remained close to home allowed him substantial free time to inspect nature and its design. It has been hypothesized that it was this exposure to nature at an early age that began to hone two of his greatest qualities: observation and the analysis of nature.
On June 7, 1926, Gaudí was run over by a tram. Because of his ragged attire and empty pockets, many cab drivers refused to pick him up for fear that he would be unable to pay the fare. He was eventually taken to a pauper's hospital in Barcelona. Nobody recognized the injured artist until his friends found him the next day. When they tried to move him into a nicer hospital, Gaudí refused, reportedly saying "I belong here among the poor." He died three days later on June 10, 1926, half of Barcelona mourning his death. He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família, although Gaudi was constantly changing his mind and recreating his blue prints. The only existing copy of his last recorded blue prints were destroyed by the anarchists in 1938 at the height of Franco's invasion of Barcelona. This has made it very difficult for his workers to complete the cathedral in the same fashion as Gaudí most likely would have wished. It is for this that Gaudí is known to many as "God's Architect". La Sagrada Família is now being completed but differences between his work and the new additions can be seen.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) was a prolific German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.

“Cathedral of Our Lady and St. Philip Howard”, Arundel, England
This is the BEAUTIFUL Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton in England. The cathedral is one of the more majestic of the England cathedrals and churches I’ve visited. Here is some more background information on the cathedral, obtained from the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton website: (http://www.dabnet.org/parishes/Arundel/arundelchurch.htm)
“The Church of Our Lady and St Philip was the gift of Henry Fitzalan-Howard. 15th Duke of Norfolk. The architect was Joseph Hansom, widely known as the inventor of the Hansom Cab. The style of the Cathedral is French Gothic about 1400. It was commissioned by Henry, XV Duke of Norfolk, in 1868 and opened on 1st July 1873, as the Catholic parish church of Arundel, with pontifical high mass in the presence of Cardinal Manning. It became a Cathedral on the foundation of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton in 1965. Its centenary was celebrated on 1st July 1973, with Pontifical High Mass in the presence of Cardinal Heenan.”
The song is “Anytime, Anywhere” by Sarah Brightman.

Renowned Swiss Artist Gerry Hofstetter Illuminates Washington National Cathedral for Unity and Asks
Swiss lighting artist Gerry Hofstetter projected images ranging from abstracts of the Cathedral's stained glass windows to faces of people of all races onto Washington National Cathedral as a call for national and global unity in a project entitled "Lighting to Unite."
From sunset to midnight on three evenings, May 9-11, the Cathedral's south and west sides with be illuminated in celebration of the Cathedral's centennial, illustrating its mission of reconciliation and spotlighting its role as a spiritual beacon for the nation.
"Light is one our most powerful symbols—evoking a sense of possibility and new life. For three nights, illumination artist Gerry Hofstetter will light up the Cathedral against the night sky of Washington, D.C. with images that speak of unity and reconciliation," said Cathedral Dean Sam Lloyd. "My hope is that everyone who experiences the brilliantly lit Cathedral, either online or in-person, will catch a glimpse of human oneness and harmony and be inspired to build bridges of understanding."

“WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL”, London, England
Not to be confused with nearby “Westminster Abbey” of the Church of England, “Westminster Cathedral” is the largest Roman Catholic cathedral in either England or Wales. Construction began in 1895, and the Byzantine style architectural style is HIGHLY distinctive in London. The interior of the cathedral is quite dark, but you can still see in these video clips some of the beauty of the architecture and can see the elaborately carved marble columns.
One of the highlights of a visit to this cathedral is that you can go to the top of the 273 foot tall cathedral tower and see some great views of London.
The song I chose is “The Prayer” by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion.
