I am off to Texas for a week of pipe organ saturation.

First I perform on the large new Reuter organ at Christ United Methodist Church, Plano, TX where longtime friends Pat Messick and Bart Ghent are the musicians.

On Monday I will travel from Dallas to Kilgore, TX for the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival. This festival celebrates famous organ designer and voicer Roy Perry and the Aeolian-Skinner organs he designed in that region.

With such a gathering of Aeolian-Skinner enthusiasts I hope to hear people’s memories of Opus 408D. It will also be educational to hear the these "Roy Perry" Aeolian-Skinners.
