Although I can barely play, I went on a couple of European tours with a group of organists and managed to work up what was more or less a fake book arrangement of a simple hymn tune and played it at Notre-Dame. On another trip, the group was invited to sit in the choir at Evensong at Westminster Abbey.
As for Washington National Cathedral, a few people from the church choir I have sung with for many years went there as part of a diocesan choir that sang on Texas Sunday (each state is honored on a different Sunday during the year) a few years ago, but I was not able to make that trip.
Go Miner!

1) My current house is the second that I have co-owned with somebody, as opposed to renting it.
2) My In-laws are related to the late Andy Warhol.
3) I'm a huge fan of Herge's Tintin comics. Have been ever since I was a little kid and they were serialized in Children's Digest.

1) I used to co-own a house not far from where I live now. It didn't work out, so I sold my share to the co-owner and bought a smaller place. Later, the future mr_cleome gave up his swinging bachelorhood to help me save on bills. But I did live alone for a while, which was great, actually.
The old house was bigger and nicer, but the current one is in a quieter part of town. Plus it's near more bus lines. Win some, lose some.
2) Andy Warhol was mr_cleome's 2nd cousin, twice-removed. No lie. My FIL has met Andy's two brothers, who are also artists.
3) My first reaction to Tintin as a little girl was, "There's no girls in this comic so it sucks."
