It's like the story that was reported about Tavernari. BYU71 said "that's not right" but then offered no further explanation.

In other words, some sources 1) do not know, 2) lie to cover up.

If the story is wrong, it's wrong.

It's amazing that every Christmas program, 'outsiders' have been invited to perform with the Mo Tab. And none of them sang 'mormon' hymns. And the First Presidency was there at all of them. Yeah, Jessop was ousted because of non-traditional music.

Want to buy a bridge? I'll stand by my 3 sources. Two of which explicitly said no, that is not what happened. The third didn't know but Cali's story seemed out of character for the First Presidency.

"I don't know you your unnamed, anonymous source is, but I don't care-- MY unnamed, anonymous source is closer to the MoTab."

Might I ask that we abandon this line of thought so long as all our "sources" are anonymous?

No way. Nothing will ever top SU's ballet quote.

This is a great thread. So much arguing over the veracity of a rumor. To what end? Unless we get a direct public announcement from Jessop himself, there is no way to prove or disprove the rumor.

That being said, it is an interesting rumor and it certainly seems consistent with all of the facts presented in the media. According to all public accounts, he resigned immediately and refused comment on the reasons. That's not the MO of a guy just interested in moving on to the next phase of his career.

If Ottley was still my Bishop and still lived here rather than in Hawaii where he runs the music department at BYU Hawaii, I'd bug him until he found out what was going on.

Packer isn't in the First Presidency for starters. And the issue, as I noted, was with the Sunday performances. Keep up.

My former supervisor is Mr. Mac's son. Maybe I could get some inside info from him. :-P

Thank heavens I didn't post the information I heard about using a slightly lesser quality cardboard cover on the hymnals. This place would have erupted.
