Taking up a new hobby?

Post by ObnoxiousBlue »

Or at least trying...

Decided to sign up for organ lessons!
Before GR steps in and asks if I know how to use my own orga, I should clarify that this one has a bunch of keys, a few pedals, and makes a whole bunch of noise!

Signed up for classes in East Meadow, and leased the organ above.
If it turns out to be something fun, I'll look to buy something small or preowned.

Have long been fascinated with the power these things have and thought "Why not?"

Years ago, my neighbor's wife used to play the organ. The guy behind my house was into ham radio and had a massive antenna on the roof and a "linear" amp so he can talk around the world. When he would "key" the mike, the power meters on my stereo amplifier would move from all the RFI he was putting out.

One day my neighbor said "when he's on the radio, you can hear his voice coming out of my wife's organ". I replied "that must be a delayed echo".

Here's another hobby you might be interested in.

Two brothers from Slovakia—Ladislav Skladan, 43, and Csaba Skladan, 41—took home the grand prize. According to The Guardian, the siblings dug their grave in only 54 minutes, and a five-member jury declared their work to be the neatest.
