Meanwhile, in Bavaria. . .
there is much grinding of teeth, as Martin and I will miss Ben's concert - simply because Martin has his own music-making to do in the 11th-Century cathedral in Eichstaett on Saturday at 11.30am. For the curious, this link (in German) gives the specification of the organ: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dom_zu_Eichst%C3%A4tt
While we are sad to be unable to hear Ben, we are savouring the last lap of our long tour in Germany and Norway. It's been huge fun and we hope to be able to share some thoughts and images from the past 11 weeks with a blog after we return.
A nasty code on the same server as our Pipeline Press website caused chaos recently by putting the website and domain emails out of action. Worse still, it implied that the word organ was being used for other than musical matters. Although accessing the site was never insecure or dangerous, we've officially restored our 'reputation' as the technology rather quaintly puts it, and anyone who has had trouble accessing the website or our emails should now be able to without being warned that hell will break loose should they continue. You are perfectly safe as we have shifted to a dedicated, pristine and holier-than-thou server which probably says grace before every access and gives a blessing as you depart.
Don't forget you can buy books and CDs from our store - and now, thanks to various whizzy software miracles, you can order individual tracks for download from Martin's CD "Resounding Aftershocks" if you don't want the whole album. Marvellous. Modern technology - it's a love-hate thing.
Just a quick close with one link, to that of the indefatigable Michael Barone, host of America Public Media, Pipedreams programme. Michael was able to catch up with us in the middle of Germany for a quick interview with Martin, which he played as part of his August broadcast. You can listen here to Michael's program Up and Coming and enjoy a couple of tracks from the CD too.
Time for me to hobble over the cobbles to the cathedral to help with registration for the concert. (The photo on the left shows a late-night rehearsal for Martin at the Klais organ console of Altenberg Cathedral.)
Don't forget Ben Sheen's concert in the town hall, Christchurch, 3pm on Sunday!
Cheerful greetings from beautiful Bavaria,
Jenny
