No apology necessary Loppy. Though we are of various ages, genders, from all sorts of backgrounds and wherever we are in the world we can all share our thoughts, jokes, anecdotes pictures and memories. NS helps me remember the City and County I knew even though I left for OZ over 40 years. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm only a very amateur organist. I started to learn about five years ago. Couldn't read a note of music, never played any instrument. Now have an Allen, on which I mangle poor old Bach's music. I hang around the Organ forum some. Quite a few Hammond guys on there. L.L Just listened to your video on the other thread. Sounds good and that's a sweet sounding organ. I've never heard of Allen until now. I see you use both feet, even better. If you got that far in 5 years you're doing ok imo and have an ok teacher. I'm an amateur, got no certificates for organ but I could play a bit on piano. When I took up organ locally I played out of a piano hymn book (Wesleyan type) with music in only treble and bass clef. I played the low notes line of the bass clef on the pedals and proceeded from there. Started off with 25 note radial pedals but they bought a new organ with 13 pedals which excluded any hope of serious attempts at classical. I plugged away at congregation accompaniment for many years and enjoyed it. Did a number of weddings, funerals, baptisms. Then about 20 yr ago we got a new young pastor. He carefully considered the organ and decided he was afraid that it had got to go. So it went. So did I. Ha. No hard feelings, I was not with-it and too old for what was on the agenda. My home organ is essentially a modern stage instrument but it has onboard an exquisite sounding baroche plpe organ sampled with reeds etc. I may catch up on the classics one day. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sent you a p.m. If you are unfamiliar with that, the little envelope on the top right of your screen should have lit up red. just click on it to read. It will also allow you to reply if you want. I didn't want to hijack this thread for a discussion on organs. Thanks for your kind words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, young Chulla, consider yourself dumped! the first time I've ever done that online. I thought I'd let him off the hook. I suspect he can't afford to keep me in the manner to which I'd rapidly become accustomed! 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Not sure if this is the right topic for the following reply but it will probably be ok. This was written and posted by a friend in another forum and I think it is worhth a read Domestic abuse Oh husband of mine, what have you done A marriage made in heaven you have undone Using our home to create from the world a screen Broken a relationship that paradise should have been I remember how as from mere words the abuse magnified The deep foundations of our beautiful home began to subside The pitter patter from my tears you must have heard As time and time again leaving you I deferred The many scars on my body may have healed And your depravity from the world may I have concealed But to savagery you returned with your pride and manly ego Consuming my soul like blood sucked by a mosquito Sacrificed for you I would have my own life Had you truly understood the value of a loving wife: Ghufar Razaq 2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,308 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Domestic abuse or wife beating as it was called in the past decades was grandma Kate's department. As I've said before, she knew how to deal with wife beaters. I must look out her bread knife and give it a polish! Anyone want to start an argument?! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
