I very much admire skilled musicians and singers. Don't have talent in either of those two categories. In fact, my singing is so bad that I don't even sing in the shower....
But that doesn't stop me from being passionate about music!

You probably know her Nick, just not by name. Here is a selection Titled "Midnight Sessions". Hope all enjoy it.

Thanks, Steve. Beautiful playing and extraordinary talent and at a young age as well. I was really not familiar with her. I listen to very little classical music. Usually, the pieces are too long and too complex for me to enjoy. I am about the melody and prefer a more simple structure to the music including a shorter length. So that's why I do not gravitate towards classical music.

I have attended a few performances involving an organ and it has been a very enjoyable experience. It is something everyone should do at least once to appreciate the majesty and the sound that an organ produces.
