  1. Don't forget that dogs have owners but cats have staff -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney <www.stronsay.co.uk/claremont>
  2. I'm six foot four inches tall and weigh 17 stones (that's 238 pounds) so I had difficulty squeezing behind some of the small Victorian organs that I played when we lived in England. The organ stools were generally too low and could not be moved back any further because of the choir stalls. I did find that straight, flat pedal boards were easier for me (with my size 13 shoes) than the RCO standard. One organ in South Gloucestershire had the music stand so far back on the console that even my long arms had difficulty with page turns and found that I didn't need my reading glasses to see the music.
