Organists give their lives to their craft and some live to a ripe old age. Sadly some are taken far too early. That was so with one of my organ teachers who died aged 50. In my youth I had the great privilege of turning pages for him most days at Evensong. He played several pieces which I now play but I have never aspired to his level of excellence.
I came across this video today which reminded me of Andrew. I remember at least one occasion when I turned pages as he played this. R. I. P. dear man.
