  1. organists and progressive lenses

    Hello All, I have not been on a forum in many years. But sometimes I just have to ask. This is porbably a bit "out there" compared to most topics, but yet is practical in nature and somewhere we have all been or will be sooner or later. Back 2008 I posted about organists and eyeglasses. I...
