CANNED MUSIC: GREAT BIG ORGAN

Welcome to this, the latest in a series of abortive attempts to write about the things that interest me in a way that maybe - just maybe - might interest others also: MUSIC, BOOKS, DODGY POETRY and UPSIDE-DOWN BURNING CARS. Watch this space.

Later on, when (and if) I get into the swing of things, I hope to write about the bands, producers, labels and musicians I like. It would be nice to include some artists on my local music scene (Bristol, UK) but frankly there's not much worth writing about. Only kidding! I'm sure I'll find something... ....maybe...

Meanwhile here are some grainy mobile phone pictures of the innards of the impressive 96-year old organ of Redcliffe church, Bristol, which is currently being refurbished. Bits of it are scattered around all over the place and there are a team of expert organ restorers, er, beavering away on it. Even if like me you pretty much detest organised religion and you are not keen on church-organ music, you can't fail to be impressed by those bass pipes (what is the technical term?) when they get going - it's the oldest sound-system in town...
