I agree with Eduardo. I use Tim's service and recommend it heartily,
as it's quite affordable on my low income. However, there are limits...

I would further recommend not playing the entire hymn, but perhaps the
one seminal verse or even just the chorus. As it is, with a dialup
connection I don't enable sound in my browser. If it takes more than 2
minutes to load a page, I tend to move on. As long as sound file links
are voluntary -- not loaded automatically -- I am more likely to see
what you have to say.

There is much we *could* do on the Net, but that is often far more than
we *should* do.
