Does The Organist Entertains on Radio 2 do more harm than good?

The BBC made a huge mistake 10 years ago banning Electronic Organ and Keyboard music. I was one who listened to the programme every week and enjoyed the selection of organists like Brian Sharp / Tony Peglar and others but there is a completely new generation of fine organists missing out on entertaing the enthusiasts and this should be addressed. There is a huge interest in todays instruments and bringing back the varied selection of technology that is now available in this show is critical in-order to keep the show on air. The new Yamaha Tyros 5 organ sounds are a fine example of what can be heard using the latest technology and promoting today's players is the way forward. I wish Chris every success with this project.
