I think this piece would have more impact without the implied “F” word at the beginning. “Damn” and “bloody” are in common enough use so as not to be overly offensive but think the “F” word is still too much of a shock for a lot of people, including some teens and young adults.
I too, as a supposedly retired organist ( a hobby) hate this week. I seem to be working harder than ever at the moment because there is a paucity of organists; however, the playing is still fun on the occasions I’m forced back into the trenches. Ravishing minor works up to Good Friday and then I can open the instrument up on Easter Day.
Your essay is a clever approach to a necessary topic.

Thank you so much. You've covered ground that I've needed to hear expressed.
