Scotch & Soda

Noooooooo I am not talking about a drink. I am talking about a song from the 1950s by the Kingston Trio. It is a laid back blusey type song. I will have to work on the rhythm some but it will be great when I get it worked out. You can hear the Kingston Trio sing it on youtube.

LL324 Dedicated

The Allen LL324-Q that I donated to Bristol Glen retirement village was dedicated this past Thursday night. There was a wonderful concert played by John Baratta. He played a concert, played for an 18 minute Laurel and Hardy silent film and led a sing-along. A good time was had by all and the many aspects of the organ were displayed.

Chromatic Runs

While playing the the 324 at Bristol Glen today I noticed that I was able to do parallel chromatic runs in thirds (with two hands) for a closing. It sounds great on the tibia. When Walt Strony was here I watched him do fast chromatic runs with one hand.. not sure when I will be able to attempt that. Right now I am proud that I can do it with two hands
