Gifts keep coming
What a summer of acquisitions!
1. Box upon box of music and books from friends and classmates Jeff Binford, Charlie Steele, Beth Hill, and John Marsh to share with students;
2. Clyde Holloway's Aeolian-Skinner;
3. Free registration and lodging for all my students at the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival;
4. Free back adjustment from a new friend at a recital venue; (Can't imagine why my back was hurting. I only loaded a pipe organ, drove it halfway across the country, unloaded it, then drove six hours to a recital venue to practice.);
5. A wonderful goodie bag from the choir of the Belin United Methodist Church, Murrells Inlet, SC, where I just dedicated their new Allen organ;
6. A facsimile of the autograph of Franck's Choral in b minor, courtesy Bruce Cornely.
A summer of rich blessings, indeed.
