I spent two fantastic days with my oldest son this week traveling over 400 miles, taking in two organ concerts, visiting an organ builder's shop in Chicago and my son getting to play four different fantastic instruments!
What a remarkable two days we had!

Cool! Thanks for the link, I will forward that to my son. That is a very old tracker and amazing that it is still functional after all of those years. They require regular maintenance and TLC!Originally Posted by chief5709 link=topic=12281.msg131730#msg131730 date=1357910405

Wow
You will never forget that time with him!
When I was his age I played the organ too - church, and did concerts and hired out for fashion shows and other events when in middle school. But ended up switching to the piano in high school.
I can't even imagine playing that kind of organ. I would have been in complete awe. I thought our church organ with the three keyboards and the wooden pedals was a big deal. Just incredible. You will cherish that time foreverHe must be an amazing musician!

Great post milco !! You have a son to be proud of and I suspect he is an incredibly talented
musician .Very nice pictures and written text also . Wow !! what a great experience shared by you and your son .
rganic Memories to me . My parents and I lived down the street from the Schoenstein Family In the Fifties ( real nice folks ) and I used to see Korla Pandit around town when he used to do his concerts at the old San Bruno Movie theater in San Francisco (his turban was a real eye catcher)
.It's great that You tube has some of his performances
and info on him . I just watched his rendetion of Misirlou and the video organ celebrities #27 . I also saw him on tv a few times . A very talented and skillfull musician and a unique individual . Happy new Year !! thumbsup01 thumbsup01
Thank you and cool stories you shared as well! My oldest son is 16 and he has been playing the organ for 5 years and studying under organ teachers for the past three. He has played piano since age 5. And yes I am very proud of him and I really enjoy his playing too! Aside from playing at church and Christian music he is mostly interested in Bach and the Baroque period more than anything else.
