Welcome to Clamator in Deserta! I'm your congenial host, Chris Allen, and I hope you'll like what you see here.
By way of background: I am the choir director (currently sans choir, unfortunately) of a small Catholic parish in the Mojave Desert of California (hence the name of the blog: "a man crying out in the desert," though sometimes I wonder whether it shouldn't be "Lachrymator in Deserta"—"a man weeping in the desert"). I am a recent convert to the Church (baptized Easter Vigil 2005); I'm single, but currently in a relationship.
I plan to focus mostly on liturgy and music in my posts, but don't be surprised if I go off on a tangent now and then (after all, isn't that the purpose of a blog?). Posts probably will come in fits and spurts as I find time to get online; again, the nature of the beast.
So, take a look around, keep your feet off the furniture :-D, and, again, welcome!

Great start to your blog, Chris! You really know your stuff. And don't worry about going tangential- everyone knows we Californians can't resist such leanings. We'll stay in touch.
ReplyDeleteSt. John the Baptist was "Vox clamantis in deserto", so you're on the right path! Good job.
