[Cats And Organs]

Dogs are just so much like hard work. You need to feed them, exercise them, let them out for a crap. They're completely dependant on you. To a lazy git like me, this is too much like hard work. The last thing I want to do on a cold, dark, wet and windy November evening is walk a f*****g dog.

 

So cats are a much better bet for me and I can at least think about what might be going on in that small furry head.

Don't forget that dogs have owners but cats have staff

[Console Proportions]

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.
