Unappreciated

Church organ players have the worst gig in town. The pay must be miserable (if they are paid at all) and they never, ever receive a round of applause. 

Every year I attend midnight mass with Elysha and a couple of our friends, and every year the poor organ player plays her heart out, starting with Christmas music thirty minutes before the service starts and continuing throughout the service, switching from organ to piano then back to organ.

But never a single round of applause.  Not even a few words of acknowledgement from the preacher man. 

Ignoring these musicians never feels right to me, and I'm not sure why we don't applaud them for their effort and skill.

Perhaps there is an assumption that God doesn't like to share the limelight.
