    Hello from Switzerland

    I have discovered to day your forum and it is really very interesting. I am please to be able now to talk with other members having passion of music. I have reed to night especially in the forum about organs. My father was himself organist and composer.

    Why this nick name? Because my hobby is also trains and I like from of our Swiss composer Arthur Honegger the work Pacific 231, a French steam railway engine.


    My Avatar: an organ dating of the end of 18th century and completely restored in 2004. It as 26 ranks and is not fare of my place.

    I just hope I don’t do to much mistakes because my English is not good.

    Hi Pacific 231,

    Welcome aboard the Starship MIMF where everyone is a star. Please do make yourself feel right at home.

    I like your forum nickname. Have you heard Honegger's *Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit*? What a rollicking fun piece.

    Cheers,

    Corno Dolce

    No I dont know this piece. I know it gives one with this title of Darius Milhaud, but I also never listen it.

    Thank you Corno Dolce for your welcome

    Just out of curiosity: in what part of beautiful Switzerland do you live?

    Hello P231, I was wondering where you'd been . I may drop you a PM some time as it looks as though a trip to Switzerland next year is becoming a distinct possibility!
