Welcome to episode 29 of Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast!

This is Part 2 of my conversation with John Higgins from Whyalla, South Australia (here's Part 1). John is a mechanical engineer by profession and so much in love with pipe organ that he plays recitals and even tries to raise funds to restore valuable historical organs in his community. Because of his passion he quickly becomes the go-to organist in his area.

In this conversation, John reveals his background story, the things which he finds challenging in organ playing, and of course the dreams which through his persistence, generosity, bravery and connection little by little are becoming a reality. This is a truly inspiring story.

Enjoy and share your comments below.
