\\nThanks Vidas for acknowledging my donation. With lockdown and retirement I have a bit more time to work at learning the organ. I am now 73 so things are a bit slower for me.
\\n
\\nI have an old analog Viscount organ but I have found that my new iPad can produce even better and authentic sound. Favourite at the moment is Pipe Organ and St Just. So I have brought out my old Casio keyboard which has a MIDI possibility and bought the necessary connectors and connected it to my old stereo system, it really can sound amazing and have to keep the volume down. Love the \\u201cpedal notes\\u201d.
\\n
\\nOver the winter I shall follow your example and buy new keyboards, I think it will be better than only one.
\\n
\\nMusic wise I continue to work away at hymns and have started flowkey. I bought your Pri\\xe8re \\xe0 Notre-Dame as it is just about my level though hard work with all the accidentals. So I would appreciate you doing more of the simpler stuff, I am not quite ready for the toccata. The likes of simpler advent music and Rhoysymedre like what you are beginning to play with fingering would be really useful. It helps build confidence and speeds the process up if an expert such as yourself does the ground work.
\\n
\\nSo thank you for all you do, all you online organists are amazing at this time and offer so much to those of us who feel safer not going to church, a real godsend indeed.
\\n
\\nSo you keep safe and bless you,
\\nJim (James)
