2017, it was good to know you.  But before you go, let’s sit down and remember all the good times we had together.  There were some not-so-good times too, but my blog audience doesn’t necessarily need to read all about them, do they?    I had a relatively calm, quiet, at-home kind of winter last…

So, if you visit my blog for fancy pictures of organs, chats about organ gossip, and to see who I brushed shoulders with in the organ world this month, this is NOT the post for you! [Mark and I in Japan!!] However, if you like interesting pictures, stories, and talk of my exotic travels, (and/or…

  While the weather was looking like this I was happy to have the opportunity to jump on a plane and go somewhere a bit more temperate. This time was the Pacific Northwest. Not only did I have the invitation to play a recital on a beautiful organ built by Martin Pasi, I got to…

 Hi, my name is Rhonda, and I’m not good with social media.  Yes, I understand, I should be updating my blog regularly, otherwise I lose my (already spotty) reader-base.  People expect content on a constant basis.  It’s 2016 – one should be uploading daily!  And where is that Facebook/ Twitter account anyway?  I know, I…

As I write this, summer seems like a long time ago… When I stand out in our back yard, with snow surrounding me, and negative windchill factors whipping my face, it’s hard to imagine that just months ago, it all looked like this… Just a memory now! So, onto other memories of summer.  Our family…

Spring in Holland, Michigan?  Tulip Time!  There was of course, more to the spring 2015 than just Tulips, wooden shoes, and Dutch dancing, but this seems a good place to start.      This past spring I had a number of fun musical opportunities nearer to home.  I was asked at the last minute to…

My “mini tour of the South”, as I liked to call it, was this February, to Chattanooga, TN and Birmingham, AL.  I had hoped to see lots of sun and the arrival of spring a good month or two before we can hope for such things in Michigan.  Alas, balmy it was not, but at…

September started wtih an international gig!  Ok, it was Canada, and I can drive to Toronto in about 6 hours, so not that exotic.  But I loved the chance to visit an exciting city that I hadn’t seen since I was about 10 years old, and of which I remembered only two things: the CN…

June and July this summer were busy organ months for me. First, I was in Boston for the AGO national convention in June. Boston is just a great organ city, and I thoroughly enjoyed a week of hearing recitals, and catching up with colleagues and friends, and well as wandering around the city, searching for…

I was in Indiana in April and had a great trip.  For one thing, spring had actually arrived there, four hours south of us, and it was warm and flowery!    I was invited by the Indianapolis American Guild of Organist chapter to perform a recital on an instrument by organ builder Charles Ruggles.  The…
