Branchporter

[edit]

I am simply amazed! - - I can sit in my living room and type stuff that can be seen all over the world within milliseconds. Quite a change from the pony express days I remember (Well, almost)

It may not come as a surprise to you that I live in Branchport, NY. The first half of my life was spent in nearby Penn Yan I am retired from the home electronics repair business. My interests include pipe organ, local history, classical music and amature web design

unimaginative

[edit]

.....When it comes to "user names", this is the normal scenario - I am asked to come up with a user name. I think of a clever one and type it in. It comes back as unavailable, already in use. this may happen 3 or 4 times. Finally, in frustration, I type in "Branchporter" and presto, I'm in! So, I am Branchporter (sometimes with a small "B")on Wikipedia, You Tube, My Space and others! I'm glad I live in a small town. If I lived in Boston, the user name "Bostonian" probably would have been taken!

My Wikipedia:WikiProject PipeOrgan work is mainly on construction and operation topics.

I have an interest in pipe organs that started as far back as I remember. Being mechanically minded, their construction and operation has always fascinated me. At one time I considered making pipe organ repair my life's work, and probably would have if there had been a local repair person to connect with. Meanwhile, I am able to do many repairs on my church's organ.

My copy of "The Contemporary Americam Organ which I purchased new is in tatters from use - which makes me feel so old!

I do our church's website, and have added several sub-sites of information on about things I am interested in. They can be found on this page of links:
