JusJoJan 18/26 – Organ

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!

EDDD 17 – All I Want – Talent

It’s Day Two of “All I Want”!

Whether it be for Christmas, or for whatever you do or don’t celebrate, what I’d like to know today is, if you could be blessed with the natural-born talent to do anything, what would it be?

I’ve always wished I could play the guitar, but not JUST play – anyone can learn. I’d love to be able to play with the passion of Brian May of Queen, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Eddie Van Halen; the list goes on and on. Talent beyond compare. Even to play the piano like Schroeder, in the Peanuts cartoon, would be amazing!

Now it’s your turn. If you could do anything really really well – so well that people would swoon – what would it be?
