Back home again
Went to an amazing concert last night. The
Whatcom Symphony Orchestra performed several works for Orchestra and Pipe Organ -- the one I was interested in was the
Camille Saint-Sa�ns Symphony #3 which is hands down, my very favorite piece of music.
The organ in question was the Wurlitzer instrument at the Mt. Baker theater -- an
original installation from the 1930's and lovingly maintained and in fine voice.
This was the fourth time I have heard this piece live and last night was the second best rendition I have heard -- best was about 45 years ago with my
organ teacher performing with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and me sitting in the organ loft as a teenager.
Now dealing with some more water issues and getting the stock tank heaters set up for the critters (and getting hay out too -- snow on the ground so forage is done for the season).
Jen is coming over to pick up the last of her stuff so posting will be minimal for the next couple of hours...
