Good To Be Back

Hello again, it is good to be back.

I apologise for the delay since my last article, but I have been absorbed in a charity event that my Daughter Jenny and her husband Robert have been organising to raise money for the local Neo-Natal Unit, to commemorate what would have been the first birthday of their son

Leo. (my Grandson), who passed away after three short days of life.

Right back to organs. By sheer chance, I was talking to Richard Hore, who plays as many of you know, a Technics GA3. Richard is a fantastic person, and I am having a get together with him very soon, at his house or mine. Now for all of those amongst you who struggle sometimes for your music to sound as you want it, do not give up. Richard who is a very sort after organist, is BLIND. He is a brilliant musician and played two pieces the other day specifically for me. One was "Take Five", and the other "Caravan."
Both difficult for the best of us. He was superb. Why is he so good. Because he does not give up.

Richard is a great friend of top UK organist Chris Powell, who is playing one of Richards pieces "Cavatina" on his radio show in the UK soon.

I am going to leave you with one of my favourites, "Speak Softly Love" from the film The Godfather., played in my own special way. Enjoy for now, and I will tell you the tale of how I learnt it in my next article aswell as the results of my day with Richard Hore.

"Speak Softly Love"

Bye For Now
