    organ interview on ABC FM now

    Rather interesting live interview on classic fm featuring an organist who prefers to play digital instruments as opposed to pipe organs (interesting). He's a Yank as far as I can tell.

    http://www.abc.net.au/classic/

    then click on "listen now"

    Yes my priorities were all wrong, but I did listen to 10 minutes or so, and it was interesting. He was very keen on Percy Grainger - or maybe he was trying to endear himself to the Australian audience? To think we were both listening to it at the same time on opposite sides of the world! Everything's possible these days.

    Yeah - he explained his love for Grainger later in the program, I think an Australian connection is irrelevant. And what a wonderful performer, digital organs or not.

    CT64 - which program was that on? ... I wouldn't mind listening to it via the 'listen again' option, but need to know which slot it was in.

    Thanks!

    Jonesey - it was on the Margaret Throsby (weekday) morning interview spot.
