Rant #1....
"Those who have not received many gifts sometimes undervalue them with perilous modesty forgetting that the weakest vessel can hold some water, the simplest speech can praise the Lord, a stupid ass carried HIM into Jerusalem. The muscle that is not used atrophies."
Arbishop Fulton Sheen.

Rant #2....
Was it the scouts motto 'BE PREPARED'?
If you don't know the chords please work it out.
If somebody has worked it out, please say thank you.
If you don't like the chords, figure out your own.
If you can't pin point which chord don't sound right and suggest a better alternative that is MUSICALLY correct and appropriate, please keep big mouth shut.

Rant #3....

PRACTISE.
In the first 10 years, it is a struggle
In the next 10 years, it becomes a habit
In the next 10 years, it becomes indispensable.

I was at a concert last friday and I watched in awe how this organist tackled some really difficult stuff on the pipe organ effortlessly!
Superb technique
Remarkable footwork.

And if a professional organist needs to spend 2 days prior to the concert rehearsing her programme, what more, us amatuers?

Alas, the people who really need to read all these are really too busy to read blogs or meditate.
Ohmmmmm......

And to end on a more uplifting note.....
