On Thursday evening, I was on a bike ride heading south, and I heard organ
music in the
distance coming from The Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove. It was one of a
series of free
concerts there, with a notable guest organist. Several hundred people were in
attendence.
Very cool. I sat there in awe of the sound and technique required to master
such a
daunting instrument. Pipe organs continue to have fans around the world, and
many of
them travel great distances to experience what I did, for free, 5 min away from
where I
live.
One of the jobs I held as a teenager was working for a company that restored
pipe
organs.
