Announcing the first annual "Buzzy.." well, you read the subject line you're not an idiot. </p>
</p>
So John's website which is simply great, and the various Youtube organ postings which are almost without exception a disturbing manifestation of the state of music education in the US and UK, yet, they have inspired me to ask all of you to play something, anything on your favorite organ. We all promise not to judge or criticize the playing or even your selection of literature (but for the Love of God, please no Marty Haugen or David Hass). We just want to hear what your ELECTRONIC organ sounds like. </p>
I am especially interested in anyone who uses a newer Allen or Rodgers or such, or even an old beater like the one I've got at home. </p>
Sorry to say that I can't even operate my microwave, much less post on Youtube and though two of the four organs I use are nice, they are nothing special. But I am interested in what electrronic organs all of you play. Remember, we don't care what you play (as long as it is not Haugen, Hass, or the missatribiuted Bach "Little Preludes and Fugues"-- shudder...</p>
There are already some really neat posts of some younger organists playing on youtube. One even seems to have a #$#@ clue even though we are not judging performance here.. </p>

hmmph.. better get to bed, it was 100 here today which only means church in the basement tomorrow-- no offense but I can't play Lutheran services on a Hammond which is all we have in the basements of the churches. Better fire up the AC to "Blitzkreig" and get some rest for tomorrow. I'm not a drinking man, but on that organ, I don't think anyone will know, besides, their brains will be so fried they wouldn't notice if I played Fucik's Entrance of the Gladiators. I do think, however, that if I listed it as a prelude the composer's last name would cause a meltdown of the church secretary...
