Practice Journal #17 et-cetera

Busy, busy, busy....busy bee.  Always an iron in the farrrrrr!!! (fire though, I will say it my way, and you say it yours)

Glad that I could retrieve my "church membership" to remain UMC.  The church I grew up at, disafiliated from the UMC. 

The gentlemen that do the work on the organ at work have been amazing in getting the organ back together and functioning.  Quite excited to learn about the new operating system...The work of the technicians, builders, and designers, been both professional and of high craftmanship.  The only obvious updates to the eye, will be found on the console.


I've been extremely busy, and haven't collected notes on what I have been practicing.  Being sort of "up in the air" with the regime change at the office, I am just practicing everything and all things to have a library of do-able music as the situation commands.

Played Liszt "Un Sospiro" a couple of weeks ago- good stuff.  I cut out two pages for the prelude....
