Some quotes of the day

 
  • Where did these players appear from, never know they exist!
  • Only now I know they have electones in Spain!
  • No, the film crew are not from Yamaha.
  • What I want to know is why aren’t younger organ players that appear in Caister recently and those on Organfax [web site] playing in this competition? They should all join in and compete together.
