Guest Lee Blick Report post Posted November 5, 2007 Firstly, my apologies for my comments in the John Rutter thread. I didn't think I was being that contraversial in that thread but I guess some people didn't see it that way. Secondly, I have decided to leave this board. I am no longer a member of the Christian faith and no longer feel it is worth me debating church music and organ playing here anymore. I have enjoyed the entertainment of posting on this board. Moderators, please de-register me. Thank-you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 8GB Report post Posted November 6, 2007 As a newcomer, who has been an avid "watcher" for some time, I am sorry to see another familiar name disappear - there seem to have been several! Psalm 78 disappeared recently I think, but gave no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst some of the things you have said are somewhat 'challenging' you have often caused me some mirth, even on a otherwise dreary day at the office doing church/organ admin! At the very least you have not been afraid to speak your mind, and this is not always a bad thing, surely......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moderators, please de-register me. Thank-you. As has been already stated, an organist's faith or lack of has nothing to do with their ability to play the organ. This Forum does not have the word Church in the title, it is open to any person who is interested in the instrument. You could, of course, re-register under another pseudonym, leaving us all to guess. If everyone had to stick to making sure everything they said was absolutely free from any possible misinterpretation, libel, or 100% factually correct, the whole thing would grind to a halt.

C'mon Lee.........If like me, you can't keep away from the board, you must be watching.....We do all miss you. Get back in here and start posting again. I am reading a book at the moment about monks and stone masons in the 13th century, and the monks keep on going on about humility and the stone masons keep on going on about building for glory. I am not quite sure why I said this, but I think many of your comments probably make readers think about both humility and glory (whether you are or are not a christian!)..... So......my favourite cathedral organ in England is Salisbury....it is perfection in 65 stops. What is yours Lee?? Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Maslen 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2007 May I echo those who've asked Lee to re-consider? I don't always agree with you, but it's always worth reading what you have to say. Come back, we miss you. Regards John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
