Just back from a trip to Norfolk. Highlight was a visit to a site that restores and displays traction engines, fair ground rides. It also had a wide range of organs from around the world.
They had a guy playing a Wurlitzer and gave us lots of wonderful information. Did you know you need 10 fingers (sic) and two feet played by a master of his craft to make an organ work properly.

That the biggest part of the organ is 10 feet long and they reduce in size to a half inch squeaker

Here are some photos from Norfolk.

Beautiful pics, Martin.....thanks for sharing!!

But words like "10 foot organ" and "half inch squeakers" are a deadly recipe for hijacking with the likes of Bubba and Jim around!!

And there is me trying to be deadly serious

. There were about 200 people at this event, our group of 20 were rolling about with tears in our eyes - they nearly chucked us out

That is pretty amazing!

However, I must be honest and tell you that, when reading the title, I thought this thread was about farts.

Joe and Paulie, I am blaming this on you!

Sorry Jimbo but I had the wife with me, and I don't think the time is right just yet to reveal to her our special relationship. Maybe next time, let's just take it a step at a time...
