Humor on the Job......
You have to admit that there is humor in church. After all, God made you. This sign was found in the balcony of one of our "out west" customers. Sorry about the quality, my litle digital camera has been dropped, kicked, and generally mishandled; and it shows. For those that can't read it, the sign says: "Home of the OK Chorale"

We're Back.......
HI all,
Well, we have survived our trip to the wild west and frozen north. (Montana and North Dakota, respectively) However, the wild west was anything but wild and the frozen north was warm enough to be in shirtsleeves almost every day.
We had the opportunity to work on a fine instrument in Montana. The 18 rank Estey (tubular, no less!) was in great shape and the sound was wonderfull. I could have played for hours. Then again, I say that about a majority of our instruments.....at any rate, it was fun to work on.
We also had the opportunity to work on a one manual Vogelpohl that dates to 1917. It is in a church that is not heated in the winter, so the instrument is in nearly new condition-even the leather is still original. The sound on that thing is wonderful, it could easily lead singing in a building five times the size on the one that it is in.
Now I am back in Lennox for a week of paperwork before we continue the tuning tours.
Definition:
Manual: In organ terminology, a keyboard. "It is a two manual and pedal instrument."
