That’s all I can say…..
Like all the organists I know, I was absolutely horrified by
the news from Paris yesterday. I’ve had the privilege of hearing the organ
several times. Never managed an invitation to the loft, but I’ll admit I was
just a tad overwhelmed just being in Notre Dame. To lose so much to fire, I was
just plain gripped by the news! And now, we learn the Grand Orgue is not
destroyed. Water can do a huge amount of damage, but fire can destroy far
faster. Whew!
I’ll leave you with a picture of something else I could be
easily overwhelmed by:
The insertion to go on the Linen top is finished and
currently on the blocking towel. For scale, that towel is a standard bath towel
folded in half length-wise. Now to carefully remove the braids tack these on. I’d
like to wear it for Tat Days. We’ll see if I get it all done!
