I can't tell you how many times I was planning to cut a corner until "bring your A-Game!" floated through my memory! ;)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097527593111748907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345648049502280849.post-44836914079109100792007-12-13T11:01:00.000-08:002007-12-13T11:01:00.000-08:00David - Yes, Helsingør isn't far from Copenhagen. ...David - Yes, Helsingør isn't far from Copenhagen. How interesting that you're studying our new neck of the woods! The Danish Lutheran church where our church holds services has a large collection of organs they have gathered from smaller folk churches. Last year when we were here, we attended a organ jazz concert that played each one of the organs.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097527593111748907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345648049502280849.post-37407862506086489912007-12-12T18:15:00.000-08:002007-12-12T18:15:00.000-08:00So my exhortation is now our motto? :)BTW, I recom...So my exhortation is now our motto? :)<BR/><BR/>BTW, I recommend always using fresh ginger; just be careful not to use a lot--I hate using the powder because it tastes nothing like real ginger, a fact I didn't realize until I actually tried cooking with real ginger!<BR/><BR/>Also, we'll miss you at ollie bollen time! Maybe you'll have to make a quick trip over to the Motherland and see if anyone there is actually making ollie bollen on New Year's.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349307278752731954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345648049502280849.post-90742957088218961452007-12-12T11:43:00.000-08:002007-12-12T11:43:00.000-08:00I'm in the middle of completing a paper on Johanne...I'm in the middle of completing a paper on Johannes and Dietrich Buxtehude, organists from about 30 miles north of where you are: Helsingør and (across the water) Helsingborg. Thought about you guys out there this morning! Keep up the good work on the blog. I sure enjoy the posts. And Merry Christmas to you guys, if I don't get a chance to say so again before the Holiday.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228604623909763499noreply@blogger.com
