The old maxim "one a day" serves me well when it comes to transferring items from the old site to this new one. In fact, I find it rather therapeutic and enjoy re-reading David Bridgeman-Sutton's whimsical journeys into a fascinating range of topics. I've just finished the 7th item from 2004 where he deals with the dreaded Barker Lever in two articles; fascinating. (But I'm appalled at how much I have forgotten since reading them only 11 years ago.) Do read these Musing and Amusing articles - they are short and good for musing on - hence the title! 
Meanwhile, I admit to trying to do some tidying up of old files and boxes and despite the slow progress, it has been quite a treasure hunt. One of the goodies I found was this delightful old cartoon. I have no idea of the artist, but it is brilliant - and another confession, I have often thought of it when going to an organ concert. Do note the old vinyl records and player in the loft - -that gives a clue to the age of it!  Tine to iron the cat.

Hearty congratulations to the winners of "Dem Himmel Nahe" , Peter H. in Hanmer Springs, NZ, and Christoph G. in Erlangen, Germany. They will each receive a copy of the book shortly. 

Commiserations to all those who entered but missed out this time. There will be other competitions, so stay tuned. Bets of all subscribe to our occasional newsletter so we can let you know when the next competition is coming up. 

And if you'd still like a book, visit Pipeline Press for ordering options. They would be happy to help!

2006 is done - well, that's as far as Musings and Amusings article goes, anyway. I've finally finished transferring all those from 2006 up to the most recent. What a variety are there! Cars, Otto Von Bismarck, Christmas recipes, theatre organs and how to get your organ pipes 12,000 to the other side of the world. Do go and have a fossick among these delightful single-page musings from David Bridgeman-Sutton. More to come from 2005 and beyond, soon. (PS: and have you entered the competition yet?)
