Ogg... My condolences. I use ogg vorbis for a copy to put on my phone, because it has decent quality at a small file size. But I would be disconsolate if I lost my flac main archives.

I wanted to update, that I was able to get an electric organ. It's a Lowrey Majesty. Everything works except for one key, the b on the upper keyboard. I might be able to get someone to fix it.

So I have taken the advice and started learning piano on it. I love learning the keyboard more than learning a violin. The only thing with the violin is I don't like holding it. But I love the sound of a violin, as it's warm and rich.

I am using Jacob Stainers advice about the amount of practice on it.
So Maybe, in coming Months I can reach the organ. I have Jacob Stainers book from books.google.com. 1901 or something.

So about books. I can't find any books on the subject. There are some books, but they don't really teach anything, it's just nothing there covering the topics they said it has. Looks like a practice authors have been doing for over 200 years.

The book I have now is from Jesus Christ Saint Ladder Day saints. It teaches piano, and in final chaptors on the organ. It is just a starter book. from 1993. I can't find anything else.

Just the 1993 book, and Jacob Stainer.

Does it have a MIDI out port?

With an organ keys, and its expression pedal at your foot, you could have your violin too. Connect your organ to a computer and load a violin sound font.


The expression pedal trick will work with a lot of violin virtual instruments, not just the one he is using. And some of them are free.

And if your organ does not have a MIDI out port, any old keyboard with a port for an expression pedal and a $25 m audio expression pedal connected to it should be able to do the same thing, and connect to your computer too.

Yes it does have Midi. Midi out and in. I wonder how much that would cost for one. I don't know what to look for. I think I will go explore this. I heard MIDI for long time, but I really dont know what it is.

Something to take note about, is the organ is from 1980's. So the connectors are probably old.

I should buy 5 finger death punch. Why would I get into trouble for that? It's what I want to do.

Wait, are you asking us to find reasons why you should get in trouble for that? Or is this more of a defiant tone? It's hard to tell from context which way you mean this.

no, i'm not going to get into trouble right? It's not like I leaving God or anything like that. I just want to listen to it. I just bought metallica, 'master of puppets'. The music is like drugs, and I am getting them again.

Why you should? Catharsis. You are well familiar with it.

If you want a Christian alternative in that style, I recommend sent by Ravens, paige Armstrong or the earlier Kutless albums.

God told me that Metallica was like idol worship. And Five finger could actually kill me.
Ravens sounds like a good one.

So what was with the music? I sat down and read a book called, 'The Joy of Saying No, stop being a people pleaser.' In this book I found out that I am a gooder, avoider, and suffering. My relationship with God, was suffering. I kept hurting myself, more and more and worse and worse, because I wanted God to say and do things for me. God had already told me about it, and, you can't tempt God. I decided to not hurt myself anymore, and have been feeling better now. I hurt myself so bad, that, I am sore from it. The music, helps me drive the pain deeper. And for that, extol is really better than metallica.
