I would like to see if anybody would be interested in a U3A group listening to or playing piano, keyboard, reed organ or church organ.  These instruments would be hand or foot operated.  We would discuss the pieces to be played and look into the history of the composer and piece.  It would be nice if some members could play one or more of these instruments whilst others just enjoy listening but would like to know more about what they are listening to.  We would cover classic to jazz.  I am fortunate in having a Bluthner Grand piano fitted with a roll playing mechanism along with two other playerpianos, a player reed organ, a chapel reed organ and a church reed organ.  it would be nice to share my pleasure of playing these instruments with like minded persons.

The Player Piano / Organ Music group met on Monday , November 30^th at 16, Ridgeway Road. Three members attended to hear me play several “Fats” Waller / Scot Joplin and James P Johnson jazz rolls accompanied on drums by my very good friend Stan Mason.

Two members also peddled a roll. At the interval my wife Barbara came in with refreshments and hot mince pies. MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody. Ron

Please contact me if you would like to join us, just come and listen.
