Organ Donor Week

Grandad April 8th, 2008

Was last week Organ Donor Awareness Week?  I wasn’t aware of that.

It’s a pity, because I always wanted an organ.

When I was a kid, I was sent for piano lessons.  I hated them.  I despised them.

But I was forced to go.

In the end it was too much and I dug my heels in.  There was no way I was going to turn into a Liberace.

So I took up the guitar and taught myself.

I enjoyed that, and played in a few folk groups and traditional groups.  It was great craic. But that’s another story.

The one instrument I always wanted to play was the organ.  I’d be too shy to practice in a church, and anyway if I entered a church, God would probably smite me with a lightning bolt.

So I need one at home.

So - has anyone got an organ they want to donate?  It’s a good cause.

Or am I too late?
