James Flores is Australia's "most loved internet organist" (self proclaimed title). "Every other organist in the world is either a church organist or concert organist so I decided I wanted to be the most loved! And why "internet organist"? I decided to share my passion for the instrument on YouTube where my reach is not limited by my geographical location. All credit to Leysa for all the cooking in the household — she cooks, I clean..."
