Seven more organ articles waiting for you!

The organ concert
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.

The Wild Organist (aka P)

Now, that's a cartoonist inspired by Ronald Searle. I'll email you one of his, if I can find it.
