    Your music is a language that transcends words. As you play, I am reminded of Jesus' words in John 16:33. "These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." As you have been, may you always remain a faithful steward of the unique gift that God has entrusted to you. Praying for you and your precious family, "Sis" Maria in NC, USA.

Organ music like yours sounds so very heavenly Gert. I love looking at you playing on RUclips as well as listening to the Digital CDs I bought on your site. You have a wonderful gift.

Although amazing on the bagpipe there is something calming and moving about hearing it played on the king of instruments by what has to be one of the worlds masters.
