Always looked forward to attending Christmas Eve service with my parents at St. Peters Episcopal Church. Organist Hugh Mackinnon played his Sleeps Judea Fair at midnight.
"Mr. Mackinnon" was the Choir Director at Grace Cathedral before joining St. Peters: Link to Grace Cathedral Choir performing Sleeps Judea Fair.
Hugh A MacKinnon: 1891-1981
St. Peters Episcopal Church, located in San Francisco's Richmond District, served a dedicated and diverse congregation. The church was damaged beyond repair by the 1989 earthquake--a grave lost to the community. Additional information: (a) Brief History of the Church and (b) Pipe organ at St. Peters.
What a lovely memory!
