Organist Nancy Faust intended no puns while assessing the Kane County Cougars’ rumored parent-club limbo.

She revered being treated “royally” when the team was aligned with Kansas City the past two seasons, and “barely” has tracked recent reports that the Cubs could be next to sign a player-development contract with the Geneva-based Cougars.

Turn the conversation to music and her wordplay transforms. Faust captained the keyboard for nine of the Cougars’ Sunday home games in 2012 and will reprise that role next season, keeping an approach that values quick thinking and association like a symphony of spontaneity.
