Our entrance doors in the USA are generally in the South West and the ante room is in the North West.

We have seats in the North but they are rarely occupied. Unless we have a large gathering or a Memorial of some sort. In that case, we place the family there. Most Lodges in the Florida Keys have seats in the North and most of the time they are empty.

Just about every "permanently installed" organ or piano that I have seen in Lodge is in the Northeast behind the Treasurer. But when I and other musicians travel to a different Lodge, the North is always quite open.

This is an old thread. I only found it because I am a musician and the only place for keyboards is in the North in some of the Lodges that I have visited. Would it make sense to have music emanating from the North? A place of darkness doesn't necessarily include sound. There were a lot of...

I see your point. It is actually more suited to a Masonic Memorial Service. At the last one I played an excerpt from Mozart's Masonic funeral but was told that it was depressing! Too depressing for a funeral?

Is it acceptable to play Pleyel's Hymn for any degree including EA and FC? Or is this reserved for MM only?

Congratulations Honorable Mayor, Commissioner and Chief. I hope that this helps bring some sanity back to NYC!

Brother John, I just started my second book by you. Ther are quite a few pages in this one, as the last one, regarding the distinction between Masons and Freemasons. I offer no resistance to this and am completely open to the concept and even finally understand this difference, and am...

Just finished reading “Building Free Men”. Could have done it in two days but it took me five because I wanted to review the exhaustive research that Bro. Dr. John did and is there to find for free on Bing or Google which is why I am certain that Bro Winter was just kidding. Anyone that looks...

Brother John, I recall seeing a video where you explain that Jubelo, Jubela and Jubelum may have been taken from the phrase "I want it" in French. I asked a Frenchman in Europe last week how he would say "I want it" and he did indeed say verbatim "Jubela" (French accent and spelling not...

From Brother Dr. John himself. I am grateful Sir. It doesn't get more qualified than that! Will follow up the read. Thank you.

Reading Building Free Men by Brother John Nagy. I just read about 12 pages on the difference between Masonry and Freemasonry. I do not fully understand the distinction. Can anyone who has read this book contribute your thoughts on understanding this difference?

Actually, not at all. So let me ask it again. If I do not have a son and only have a daughter, can I leave her my 14th degree ring? Brother LD1513PM, since you are the only one that actually answered my question, I must ask. Are you a Scottish Rite Mason?

Promise me that you will wear (or, if in a pyramid, keep) it during your lifetime unless superseded by a 33rd degree ring, should you ever attain that honor. You should provide that, after your death, it shall go into the hands of no other person than your widow, your eldest son, or the friend...

Exactly why I was asking. Afterall, we did take a vow stating such. I would like to ask deceased Scottish Rite Masons but unfortunately, they are tough to get a hold of. I suppose I can leave it to my wife and if SHE gives it to our daughter to wear as a necklace, I can't prevent her from...

I have a daughter and no sons. Can I pass my 14th degree ring onto her when I croak?

If my home Lodge is in Florida but I am visiting California or Oregon, can I visit a Price Hall Lodge?

Where are you in Florida Brother Professor? The keys licked out this time around.

But of course! Thanks. Also checked out your videos which were posted on prior threads on this forum. That's why I placed the order directly thereafter.
