Calvary Cemetery 12-4-2009











Calvary Mortuary in Los Angeles asked me to play for this grave side service inside one of their many mausoleums. This was a lovely service and as always in these places, the acoustics were incredible. http://www.archdiocese.la/directories/cemeteries/info.php?cemetery_id=4
