This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “organ,” is brought to us by Kaye. Check out her blog here!
Okay, so here’s something I haven’t thought about in ages.
When I was a kid, I had a Magnus mini chord organ that I absolutely loved, though I think I only learned to play about four songs on it.
I’ve always been in love with the idea of being able to play music.
But it’s an aptitude I’ve never mastered.
Anyway, I Googled small organs to try to find the one I had, but none were immediately identifiable enough to point and say “it was that one.”
The depressing part was the fact that all the ones that might have been the same as mine on Ebay are described as vintage.
Nothing like the “v” word to make you feel old.
This wordy reminiscence is part of Just Jot it January! Want to join in? Just click here to get to the prompt and drop your link in the comments. It’s fun!
Thanks again to Kaye for today’s prompt!

I’ve decided that being Vintage is becoming one’s true, organic, most real self. High five!!

Yep, that was me too. I could never understand how I was able to touch-type so well but I couldn’t find the piano keys.
