For lent I gave up playing Bach

I know I'm a little late.

For Lent, I gave up observing Lent.

Methinks you've missed the point.

It's give up something, not avoid doing something.

Maybe for Lent you should only play Bach.

Yes, knowing you, for penance you should take up the really boring Bach, like JSBach slow chorales, and play harpsichord only,no volume changes,  and  sing them in German, simultaneously. 
Also play CPE Bach, I've hated everything he did since the eighth grade.  (was his 300th Birthday the other day, I turned the radio off). 
Fortunately I'm Am Baptist these days. For Lent they have a monthly church supper just as fattening as the ones they do the rest of the year.  Last Sunday afternoon they had an all dessert celebration of the minister's twenty fifth year.  The leaders dis-respect the liturgical calender so much, I'm surprised they don't move Christmas to some other time.  (I got in trouble for playing sad songs in Lent the week after the church organist died; I haven't played a service in that church now in 23 years. Happy Happy Joy Joy)
