Susan - I found that very easy to listen to. An odd appraisal, maybe, but it's because both of you are so technically assured that there is none of the usual doubt about what's intentional!
Then I discovered your affinity with Messaien. Et Exspecto is one of my favourite works (I play trombone also) but it never occurred to me that his music could be played on the pedal steel. I would direct readers to the following - one can imagine the composer himself seated at the organ....
O Sacrum Convivium

Thanks, Ian, I'm glad you liked the music from that set with Sylvie Courvoisier.
Et Exspecto is also one of my favorite works, in fact the first time I heard it, I had to pull my car over to the side of the road until it was done.
I would have loved to have seen Messiaen in Paris sitting at a pipe organ and improvising music for his weekly Mass.
