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).

As for my username 'sk8er1979', yes, I did skateboard as well up until two years ago. Unfortunately, I can't anymore, due to a leg condition. (Most of it was mainly in college, Mom never thought much of skateboarding). Since the beginning of 2006, I had to quit. Still dress like a skateboarder though...and not much will change that. ;o)

What got the video-uploading started is mainly I still have relatives in England who I don't see very often. It keeps us in touch...

TO IMPROVE THE SOUND QUALITY ON MOST VIDEOS 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.

The time has come where a few duplicate videos are uploaded every now and then. The oldest duplicate videos will be deleted.

Main styles of music are sacred, Jazz and lounge/swing. Have played organ and piano for 18 years and restaurants/lounges for four years. With the piano, I also enjoy a lot of TV show theme tunes and Video game tunes, including those from Super Mario 1 & 2... As for the organ, I was brought up Anglican and the church was in need of an organist. Being only trained in piano, the organ has been learned by watching others and listening to quite a fair amount of organ music.

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 if we have a desire to daily spend time in devotion and prayer with God and want to know more about Him, His 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.

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:

Blessings!

Formation Date: June 05, 1995
Label Type: Independent
Band Members: Only myself...
Age: 27
Influences: As seen from my videos, I play a bit of everything. Mainly organ and piano, but also synth and hammond organ (both gospel and Blues/Jazz style organ) in both church and when jamming/performing with others. There's not a whole lot of music I don't like. Favorite styles to play on the piano are blues,classical,latin jazz, gospel,contemporary,TV Show Themes,Video game themes, and the list goes on.
Sounds Like: This list could be endless, though to name a few, favorite artists whose styles I enjoy and some of whom I try to replicate are: Jimmy Smith (hammond organ) Klaus Wunderlich (hammond organ) Diane Bish (pipe organ, classical/gospel) Harm Hoeve (pipe organ) Floyd Cramer (country piano) Gaithers (gospel) Dave Brubeck (jazz piano) Liberace (classical piano) Richard Clayderman (piano) And the list goes on...
Country: Canada

Now, to change the subject. I absolutely love your playing. When I clicked on your profile I saw the Clarke and clicked on it immediately, and I absolutely loved it. In fact I already have a nickname for you - Socks!

When I saw you rest your foot on the crescendo pedal, I and my chair almost went over backward. :D

Peace.

Hey Nigel, what's up? I stumbled upon your profile totally by accident, and I'll get right to the point. Every message board and every site that allows comments has at least one imbecile that spends all his time posting derogatory comments in hopes of attracting replies as a means of drawing attention to his lowlife self. I believe the best way to handle these degenerates is to put them down really hard once or twice and then close the door on the conversation and never look back. These people derive great pleasure in realizing they've provoked your ire. We need to deny them that pleasure.
