Honestly, I do not absolutely know in all sincere respects..

heaven seems awfully nice right about now.

For me, I'll take sitting near a emerald colored shadowed by two mountains filled with tall oak trees.

^^^that sounds heavenly also

It's an actual place from my early childhood which, I've not been back in 16 years now

there are lovely scenes in Arizona that I probably will not be back to witness this lifetime.

There are many places I recall which, if I had a automobile I'd love to revisit yet, I'm not sure I'd be able to find them again..

where I really want to visit, there are no automobiles.

multiple people and multiple skills. both playing pipe organs and constructing/configuring/calibrating them are separately time-intensive schools of endeavor, requiring many years of dedication comparable to the training a medical doctor received in time and intensity. the organist must have 5-10 years of solid music theory training and experience playing keyboards, and also be an athlete of sorts with exceptional multitasking ability and rapid reflexes. the training on the Wurlitzer is equivalent to the residency a doctor must go through before becoming staff-rated. each manual on the fancier models has something called "second touches" which allow a skilled organist to access a second set of electrical contacts that can be set to a variety of additional special effect or percussion "toy counter" effects. that means the organist plays the main melody and on certain keys presses 8 ounces harder to access the second touches and can [for example] make a tap cymbal sound in the background in rhythm with his melodic playing, thus he or she can accompany him/herself in counterpoint just as though a separate musician were playing along. thus one organist can sound like a whole group of musicians this way, with second touches on the manuals and pedalboard. the organist in the video, the estimable Charlie Balogh has 4+ decades of experience with keyboards.

Is There Anybody Out There?



Serious question,

I am feeling great today. Had some luck today and made some money in the casino. And used part of the profits to buy some books I wanted for some time. And one of those was one I saw at an old book store a couple of months ago

I never thought I'd see the day that I'd choose a German war song over a Kinks song. I was 30 seconds into 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion', than I switched over to this:

Yeah, sure, I have experienced a lot of disappointments, but pretty much all the "bad" ones were out of my control and I had no choice over them.

It's the ones that were in my control that get me.
