The first truckload of organ parts has arrived and they're beginning the installation. So far scaffolding has been assembled, I see some open woods on the chancel floor perhaps getting ready to go in, and they're off and running.
You can watch the work in real time at this link. Johns Creek UMC installation link. This is a live stream that will be available 6 days a week. Details are on the page. Enjoy!!!

This link will take you to the Johns Creek Methodist Church Music Facebook page where you'll find out about the latest progress in preparation for the arrival of Aeolian-Skinner Opus 408D later this month.
An interesting connection to the project will occur through a meeting of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Guild of Organists and I'm not sure anyone realizes this yet! David Enlow, Organist & Choirmaster of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection in New York City will be performing for the chapter and guests at their September 13, 2016 program.
When I began investigating the possibility of acquiring a used pipe organ for Johns Creek, John Bishop of the Organ Clearing House suggested that I visit NYC for the dedication of the newly renovated Casavant Organ that OCH had installed in Church of the Resurrection. So I went, enjoyed the program and met David. I hope he takes the opportunity to run up to Johns Creek and check out the project. His warm hospitality certainly made this southerner visiting the north feel comfortable.
He will be performing at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church on Briarcliff Road in Atlanta. This is presented by the Atlanta Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (AGO). Go here for information. Anyone may attend either opportunity but notice that the Saturday part is a workshop (intended for organists to learn how to better improvise), the concert on the 13th is a full organ concert. Tickets are only required for the meal part of each event.
