This document is posted periodically to the rec.sport.skating.roller usenet newsgroup, and can also be accessed via the world wide web (www) using the following URL: http://www.netaxs.com/people/grr/Roller Comments, corrections or additions are welcome - e-mail grr@tharsis.com Introduction: This is a directory of Roller Skating Organists - the folks that play live organ music at roller rinks or offer tapes for sale. It also includes information about the rinks and sessions where they play, which is a subset of the information in the Roller Rink Directory. The details for the rinks listed in this directory, such as address, directions, scheduledes and comments, can be had via the web page mentioned above. There is currently no FTP access or mail server, but if there's a section you're wanting, drop me e-mail and I'll send it to you. The list is constantly being revised and I'm always on the lookout for new organists, detail or commentary on the ones listed.
