Another great charity site is AIDtoCHILDREN.com. It donates money to
children in need through World Vision.

I can confirm that Allison knows her instruments. This was her original description, which we shortened:

“Thanks to my friend Thomas who sent in this clip (youtube.com/watch?v=9pS5xzOWbwo) of an organ performance, with the instructions to wait until the :47 second mark. If you do, you will be rewarded tenfold. I KNEW I should have stuck with those piano lessons …”

‘Webster’s Is My Bitch’ is just fantastic. And I really don’t think Ms. Keene believed that organ was a piano.

The “Carry On Wayward Son” cover was pretty cool. One thing though about the comment about sticking with piano lessons; that’s an organ. Though piano and organ are both played with keys, they are very different instruments. For instance, the organ has pedals that play notes, while the piano’s pedals control dynamics and other non-pitch aspects. There are also multiple keyboards, called manuals, on the typical organ. Cool vid, though.

That glass ball guy was amazing! I always wonder how long it takes those performers to get that good.
