    My brother sent me this video of "Amazing Grace" being played on the church bells in Banff, Alberta, Canada by a local schoolteacher named Heather Jean Jordan. The story is that she's been doing this every day since the Covid virus shutdown took place there. Not sure if she still is doing this today (this video was dated 3/29/20).

    It's a beautiful sound and I commend Heather for playing the chimes daily during Covid lockdown. I thought the bells had a very English sound and sure enough I see that they were founded by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough. I got into change ringing whilst at college so I'm a bit geeky about such things.
