Picking up a certain theme from another recent thread, it may be argued that Organists in general really do not do themselves many favours in polite conversation. Being viewed as rather uncommunicative and perhaps a bit strange, I'm surprised that some in the profession are not confronted with more abrasive conversation.
Perhaps professional Organists should take courses in General Management and Public Relations? Perhaps, in the ARCO/FRCO syllabus, such courses should be included? Smiling helps as well, if only now and then
