Have you guys ever seen these? Pretty funny, but good info, too:
1 Thou shalt practise every day, even if only for a short period.
2 Thou shalt NEVER practise faster than thou canst play perfectly, for it is written: Perfect Practice Makes Perfect.
3 Thou shalt NOT put off working on the hard parts; David did not invite Goliath to come back after tea.
4 Thou shalt work out a usable fingering, inscribe it on thy papyrus and NEVER vary from same, for Fumble Fingers Find Fate Fickle.
5Thou shalt never apologise for thy playing, nor say "Oops!" when thou makest a mistake, for thou wilt only draw attention to things which otherwise would never be noticed by the thick people.
6 Thou shalt practise each composition in short segments; that thy fingers may not break off more than thy mind can chew.
7 Thou shalt listen ... and not only to organists, for it is written: What this untidy world needs is fewer organists and more musicians who can play the organ
8 Thou shalt NOT play pedals without shoes ... for thy Odor-Eaters may be spent, and besides, it leads to sloppy playing.
9 Thou shalt begin and end each practice session with something thou canst play readily, that thou mayest not be discouraged.
10 Thou shalt always remember that thy practice is a labour of love and that by persistence (oft proved by thyself in other undertakings) thou canst bring to pass many wonders.

How Big are Your FEETHahahahahahah :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well alright my man! It's all good! But you don't even want to get me started on pedal playing with shoes. LOL! As long as they are not Timberlands (only playing).
-
Hey you all can add me to the pedal-playing-without-a-shoe crew too :lol: !!!!!! Mainly because I wear hard sole dress shoes on Sunday and I just can't work the heel with them on. Now wearing gymshoes or some other pair of soft sole shoes is a different story 8) .

In all honesty, I play with socks, I love it. I never have tried leather soles, I might use them if I did. Fortunately I've got a C3, so nobody can tell, even if my socks don't match. :D

I can play in boots, dress shoes, casual shoes. I don't play as well when I'm wearing shoes with a square toe.

I'm always wearing socks, but when i'm playing the organ I always make a note to wear black socks. We have a C3 as well so I guess its kinda silly...but its not quite as obvious that I don't have shoes on...our bass player sometimes watch my feet just to help himself out.

I have pretty much played the pedals with no shoes(with socks) since the beginning. However, I do practice sometimes with my shoes on. But, I prefer my shoes off.

I kinda doubt that one. I think everything made from here on out will have a transpose button on it. Even though it is the Devil. I try not to use it, but i think they will always have one on keyboards from now on though.
