Hello all.
I have only posted here one other time, but this might be something that has affected others of you. Today, while I was playing the prelude at church, a congregation member's cell phone rang loudly. While it annoys me very much in the first place that people do not turn off their cell phones during worship I did not believe that this individual would actually answer it but she exceeded my lowest of expectations and not only answered it but proceeded to engage in a conversation that was audible even above all the other people who never listen to the prelude but rather prefer to talk through it. People do not understand that the prelude is part of the service.
I am sure I am hardly the only organist to experience this kind of thing, but for some reason this one has bothered my all day. Has anyone else here seen this kind of thing happen and how did you deal with it?
Thanks.
