Vatican Warns on Fake Papal Organist
Status: Imposter
This is over a week old, but it struck me as odd enough to be worth posting anyway: The archpriest of St. Peter's basilica has warned European concert organizers against a musician who is falsely advertising himself as the "official organist" to Pope Benedict XVI... An Italian musician, Massimiliano Mussi, has issued publicity brochures in which he claims to a papal appointment. The cardinal warned promoters that the Vatican has only one official organist, American James Edward Goettsche. "Any other person who claims similar titles or merits should be considered dishonest," the cardinal said.
So I'm really curious about what this guy's story is. Has he resorted to deception to get a leg-up in the cut-throat world of organ playing? Or is he using this as a line to pick up girls? "Hey baby, I play the Pope's organ."

Anyone using that pickup line with me would get more than a second glance just for the fact that it's so hilarious!
Heh, that wouldn't have anything to do with seeing an "impressive organ" in Edinburgh, Nettie?

Yeah, it must have been very difficult to keep clean, as I told the nice man...

C'mon, Alex, you just wanted an excuse to say, "Papal Organist."
