ARGGHHHHH! I made the fatal mistake of viewing a YouTube clip posted by Baz on the 'Crackpot' thread. I so wish I hadn't, although I should have known better. It's Virgil 'Liberace of the Organ' Fox doing dastardly things to Bach's 'Gigue' Fugue. Now I can't get the damn thing out of my head, complete with all the dancing and happy clapping  Sorry Mort - perhaps you should listen to Hans Andre Stamm playing Bach's G Minor Fugue (BWV 541) on the newly renovated Trost-Organ in Waltershousen, Germany (a lovely period instrument played really nicely!). CLICKBaz  Ahhhh, that's better Beautiful sound, also fascinating to actually see the instrument being played. I love the organ. Speaking as a lay person, I have admiration for those that can play it. Apart from Virgil Baz, you have made me a very happy bunny |

From the sublime to the ridiculous!  Wonderful, A! Couldn't resist 'browsing' the other clips. Another chance to hear 'The Vatican Rag'. Much tittering in Norf Lunnun  |

I'm at work supposedly composing, but this is just a quick hello to let everyone know that I'm ok, just a bit busy and lacking in the whole laptop front! (erm...)
Normal service will be resumed!

Nice to hear from you, hhhhhh!  I'm feeling strangely happy today, even though I'm going to have to go out in a couple of hours when I'm really in the mood for staying at home and working. Going to try and make the best of it by seeing if I can fit in a trip to the gym, which would at least be something worth leaving the house for that I haven't got round to for ages. |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

The ELISION ensemble doesn't give much time for bathroom breaks, I guess, if the new picture on the front of their website is any indication...  |

Well there the coward's way out is just to call it 'The Magician', no? Or at the very least to make sure you say "The Magician" nice and quickly after "You rain us" just to make sure there's nothing questionable left hanging in the air... |

Oooo-rer-nuss? Or 'Page 87'?
But, admittedly, then it sounds as if you are trying to avoid something. So you can't win. How about a campaign to rename it 'Eldridge'?
