In spite of my folly, God must still love me.

Felt the desire to go out for a walk tonight, and strolled down to the Utah Arts Festival that kicked off today. Didn't pay to go in, but meandered over to the City Library where they were having a Festival Book Sale.

Coming right on the heels of my discussion with [livejournal.com profile] r_caton about the merits of vinyl, finding a dozen excellent-condition LP's of Theatre Organ music, many by people and on organs I am familiar with, was like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, with the two classical albums by Sibelius and a collection of Italian Antiphonal composers being frosting on the gold, as it were. $14.00, w00t!

Huzzah! Lots of wurlitzers in there. A good company for wind-pipe instruments.

BBC Radio 2 Tuesday 10pm "The Organist Entertains" just celebrated it's 40th birthday. Listen on the BBC i-player if ye can!
