Hey Tom!
I AGREE 100% -- You go, man!
Organists who haven't played the newer digital instruments (be they Allen
or Walker) are not in touch with reality!!
No, they're not pipe organs, it's true! But SOME PIPE ORGANS can't hold a
candle to what a good digital can do, either!!
Organ players, there's a paradigm shift going on here! Better get savvy to
it or you're going to go the way of the dinosaur.
Well said, Tom!
Gene Stroble, who is NOT a fussy fossil.
