Mr. Syracuse's New Toy!




So I don't know if you know this or not, but I've taken up the pipe organ! I've been taking lessons since last summer, and I'm slowly getting better. It's pretty difficult to play two different things with your hands and sometimes something different with each foot! Well, I got tired of driving into downtown Ithaca to the church where I take my lessons to practice, so I searched around on eBay for a pipe organ of my own. I found one (it's electric -- no pipes!) in Owego, and I picked it up on Monday. I'm sure my neighbors are going to hate me because it's so loud! I'll try and get a recording up on here so you can hear its magisterial beauty. And yes, I have a candelabra on it, just for dramatic affect. Good times.
