One of the most un-nerving interviews I ever did was with one of the nicest guys in the business - the late Graeme Wright. Listening back to this conversation in 1984, you can tell that I inadvertently caused offence when talking about Farfisa and Bontempi organs. I don't think he ever forgave me! Graeme sadly passed away in 2015 and my broadcasting colleague Alan Ashton recorded a special tribute programme on Organ1st Radio (http://organradio.com/archive/) in Show 96 August 2015. As someone cited on a tribute website: "The guy that taught me to play always maintained Graeme Wright was the best British organist of his generation on the basis of being peerless when it came to making cheap organs sound expensive". How right he was.
