It was 1642. Why this date should stick in my mind I really don't know.Angela Woodford wrote:When did the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers send their first presentee to the School?

And whilst thinking of seagoing things, how wonderful to meet DBTS and to discover that he is a handsome man - I have always thought he might be a bit like his avatar... but absolutely not!

Rushworth and Dreaper have (or has) dogged my footsteps (or pedalling feet ) for my whole career. My own school (I am not an Old Blue) had a modest 3-manual R and D organ in its Memorial Hall which I payed daily once I became School Organist. On reaching Oxford - where, as an Organ Scholar, I had the smallest chapel and the the smallest organ (no comments please!) in Oxford - I practised at Queen's next door. It was a larger 3-manual R and D. On arriving on the staff of CH I was impressed and depressed to find a 5-manual Queen Mary version of R and D's output ( and a west tuba to announce arrival in port). In retirement I am faced with the (only?) R and D attempt at a baroque organ. I'm not complaining, Plum (or Josh), but I wish that at some stage I could have played a Harrison and Harrison. St Mary's Hrsham did have a Father Willis organ which almost worked. jdsGreat Plum wrote:I was close then!
I knew that being a Verrio Guide would give me some pointless knowledge!
