@GrumpyOrganist Have done more than usual travel recently. Feel we know a lot about international organs - they don't like jet lag

@scribe47 😂😂😂

It’s International Organ Day apparently. Feel free to drop in presents (champagne preferably) and bundles of shredded Mission Praise. #internationalorganday

I’m sorry but this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

Sadly I had to endure a brief reunion with Mission Praise earlier today. Please hold me in your prayers.

The church was so cold for the carol service that even the resident woolly mammoths were dead when we arrived.

Our Carol service was moved from 11th to 18th, and is now immediately after the World Cup final. Could be either very dull or off the scale….

I can hear those abhorrent rising key changes in the Strictly playback coming from the next room….gruesome Halloween thoughts in my head…

@BarbaraKPiano I’m just pleased you can spell practised which already puts you above 98% of the population so you’re bound to smash grade 8 soon let alone 6!

@theliturgylady Well I suppose people needed clean shoes for the jubilee…..thanks for the video offer…. ahem…..😂

@GrumpyOrganist I sang Shine Jesus shine this weekend, with Graham Kendrick (and several hundred others - not just me!). Thinking of that should help restore your natural grumpiness ... But I've got a video of you'd like to see/hear it.

Actually had some decent hymns yesterday (you can guess which ones), so the enlarged congregation sang well, albeit dragging me back. The regulars are trained to adhere to my speed.

@DianeParkes1 It’s our only source of nutrients around here

Amazing facts discovered on the internet - Sin-Eaters, people who were paid to eat food off the bodies of people who had died to take their sins away. A practice from the Welsh Marches. I'd never heard of this. bit.ly/3ETdOpa

Eureka! I’ve found an organist EVEN worse than me!!

He has the grumpy expression of someone who’s just been shown an early draft of Mission Praise. “Was ist das für eine Scheiße?…”

When you do a duet recital with one of your closest friends there is a lot of giggling. @willjfox

@PrioryC Trouble is, they always spring this stuff on me after I’ve quoted!!

@GrumpyOrganist I trust your fee reflects these choices.

Can anyone explain how I cover Ru Paul’s ‘Sissy that Walk’ on the piano for a wedding…..? (Plus they’ve also casually power ordered Rach 2….- like my middle name is Moura Lympany!!!)
