Hi all, and thanks for coming to my page. Name's Nigel Robertson, 27 years old. From Duncan, British Columbia, Canada. Nationalities are half british, half Canadian (Mom's side of the family was from england, Dad's was from Canada). TO ALL YOUTUBER'S WHO LOVE THE MUSIC ON HERE:DO YOU WISH THAT THE AUDIO WOULD BE BETTER REPRODUCED ON THE ORGAN/PIANO VIDEOS? IT CAN BE! AFTER LOADING ANY VIDEO OF A PIANO/ORGAN PIECE ON YOUTUBE, ADD THE FOLLOWING WITHOUT SPACES TO THE ADDRESS BAR UP AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN: &FMT=18 ALL LETTERS LOWERCASE. AFTER THIS, HIT ENTER TO REFRESH THE PAGE. Now REALLY enjoy the music on Youtube!!!!! VIDEO UPLOADING WILL CONTINUE AFTER THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER. IN PROCESS OF GETTING A NEW VIDEO CAMERA.Main styles of music are sacred, Jazz and lounge/swing. Have played organ and piano for 18 years and restaurants/lounges for four years.As for the organ, I was brought up Anglican and the church was in need of an organist. Being only trained in piano, I have never had a formal lesson on the organ. The organ has been learned by watching others and listening to quite a fair amount of organ music. Grade 10 Royal Conservatory in piano, though I failed four piano exams as I enjoy improvising.In regards to views in theology & Christianity, I've never cared much for the term 'Christian'. It's nothing but a label and equally why we're called hypocrites. We're no better than anyone else and it's only with God's help we manage to stay on that path God has laid out for us. We might go off the path many times, but God's love is enduring and his patience is unending enough to constantly keep us on that path until the day when we and all people stand before him face to face. Interests/hobbiesMy hobbies and interests (and employment) lie in electronics, cooking, computers and music, also an on-call organist/pianist for weddings/funerals. Along with music, I particularly love to cook and bake. Have worked in kitchens and played in churches for 14 years. Am presently assistant organist and pianist in the Duncan Christian Reformed Church. The address for the church is below, copy and paste into your browser:http://www.duncancrc.org.Blessings! Some people have asked about my username, why is it 'sk8er1979'. The answer is that I did skateboard off and on until I was 24.

This is my version of "Alley Cat" on the Hammond A100 with just a bit of help from the Yamaha DX7II. "The Alley Cat" is a song by Bent Fabricus-Bjerre who went by the name Bent Fabric. The song won a grammy for Best Rock & Roll recording in 1962.
