  MA was populated primarily by Congregationalists and non-conforming 
Anglicans. No surprise at their refusing entrance to the Devil, 
himself! 

  Say What ? Sounds like the perfect audience for a JAZZ BAND,, WIFOUT 
THE DEVIL THEY WOULD HAVE NO REASON TO BE IN BUSINESS WOULD THEY? :))
  
  Now, downstream in VA, where Anglicanism was more of the loyal sort, 
and considerably closer to their Catholic "friends" in MD, it's equally 
no surprise that the organ was welcomed with open arms!,

  Now I shall really get into trouble and upset my more religious 
friends on this list, but I believe that the Catholics were and still 
are great believers of the be fruitful and go forth and multiply 
doctrine so it is quite possible that it was not necessarily open arms 
that welcomed them. Whoops heading back to the prayer room again. Maybe 
this is where the first Jazz Mass came into fore play since Jazz had 
not been officially invented yet.me thinks ?

  No doubt this post will get me more Hail Mary's than the writing on 
the blackboard sentences in school days of I will not......
