Record yourself playing an appropriate piece – I use “voice recorder” on my cellphone.
Email it to Dale (gangalf ‘at’ live ‘doc’ com) include a pic of the instrument, and credits for the piece. You may include other pics that are appropriate to the piece such as the crucifixion window from your church with a Good Friday piece.
Because of email size restrictions – videos, long pieces, and high quality recordings might not work. If that is the situation email Dale and we can see what we can work out there.
