It is gorgeous outside, today! Here's a wonderful quote from Claude Debussy

"Music is the silence between the notes."  Claude Debussy

What a beautiful quote.  Stop and meditate on it if you have time.

Wow! My first post on a blog. **Wish me luck!**

Starting a blog is a new experience for me.  I've created websites in the past, but never really thought I would create a blog.  Hopefully, I will post items of interest for organists, but I'm not going to limit myself to only musical topics, so sit back and relax and, hopefully, you will find something of interest to you. (And maybe I'll learn something about blogging in the process.
