    One organ, two people as in a duet?

    We had 2 organs, side by side, and took turns. Haven't worked on any duets yet but
    that is an idea for the future.


    I am only a hobbyist, but have been playing since 1963. I
    love to play for crowds, and I am looking forward to the next
    event in our community.

    I have an old Roland electric piano that I ought to reassemble
    and place it in my book shop. I think it could attract some
    fine tinkerers of the craft.

    I watch a lot of videos on YouTube where there is a piano available, and people walk up
    to it and play. Some good stuff because you never know who might come in and be a
    really good player.

    I even had one lady tell me that her mother's favorite song was 'Besame Mucho' and was very pleased that I played that song. Made me feel happy to hear this.

    We were told to keep the volume down so as not to interfere with the quiet atmosphere of the event, but someone asked me to turn up the volume when I played a medley of songs form 'Phantom of the Opera'.

    I am only a hobbyist, but have been playing since 1963. I love to play for crowds, and I am looking forward to the next event in our community.
