Anybody who doubts …
Anybody who doubts this instrument to be the king of ALL instruments….go take a look at it for yourself. It’ll change your life.

So how do we defeat …
So how do we defeat the apathy?
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 am
EXACTLY MY POINT!!! …
EXACTLY MY POINT!!! But of course a certain someone can’t help himself from being so apathetic towards something so worth saving.

This may not be as …
This may not be as old as, say, the Acropolis, but look at historical buildings such as the Colisseum in Rome, which serve no modern purpose save as a piece of history to be preserved. If we preserve this grand instrument for another, one, two, three hundred years, however long, it will eventually become a great old wonder. And restoring an organ of this scale today will cost far, far less than building a new organ of this scale.

Let us take for a …
Let us take for a moment as truth the idea that this organ is a “curiosity” because it has never been used to its full potential – does this not allow for the notion that, were it restored and played as such, it could be considered more than that? And if we also take as truth that, with the poor economy, restoring it now may not be a wise choice, should its status as a “curiosity” mean that we should be free to either let it fall into disrepair for good or, further, destroy it?
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 am
That it will be.
That it will be.

Your speaking to …
Your speaking to one now! lol.
The midmer losh will be used as much as possible.
The kimball organ should be up and running by late summer this year. A true gem of an organ!

He is indeed …
He is indeed nothing more than a cretin. I also spoke to a member of the ACCHOS and he said they would like to keep the instrument available for everyone so we can do more than just go and listen to it.
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Thank you, and you …
Thank you, and you prove how this cretins ”logic and facts” are misplaced.

1. You neither …
1. You neither comprehend theology, nor the business pages of the New York Times.
2. The only rational response I can make you the illogic you have belched forth is:
Can I buy some weed from you?
Because nobody sober could have written what you wrote as a cogent response to my post!
O.o

Sadly, you are …
Sadly, you are blind to the munificence of God toward those loyal to Him. To Him “all souls, indeed! everything, belongs”. There is a Purpose being worked out in each day, a seperating of the sheep and the goats . Which are you?
You sound like a goat. No more can you see the future than could the soothsayers of old or present. Instead of gratitude there is bitterness and misery you set your table with, and so shall you eat thereof, until you die.
Reality is God. Nations stand and fall by Him.

Does it matter when …
Does it matter when the organ is used at all!
At least people can still see it, and hear it.
It is planned that the AC organ will be used at most events held in the hall, as well as for recordings and concerts, tours as well.
Now we could say the same about alot of church organs because they are only used for 2 hymns on a sunday morning, but, we still vaulue them because they are there, they should be looked after, no matter how often they are used!

The reality of the …
The reality of the business climate in AC & the rest of the US….the frighteningly increasing global Depression & utter shipwreck of US/Global economies, with attended growth of the newly poor….is not ‘inconsequential’. Cultural niceties are.
Sadly, you are blind to reality & clueless of the “tornado” which will shortly affect all.
Ppl care nothing for organs now; still less when there is no food……..
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 am
The very real -and …
The very real -and exponentially increasing – plight of the swelling ranks of the poor in the US & globally is no “trifle”….certainly not for those who believe in God.
But since most organists either are functional agnostics – or at best give lip service to him while pretending to praise Him with music – I am not surprised at your attitude.
Think well on this – and on what you have said – when there is no food to be bought.
August 25th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Is there a reason …
Is there a reason you rave on about this? You offer no argument of merit or value against this subject.
All you do is and moan over trifles, and offer your meaningless opinions and bleatings. Do all here, and even God Almighty a kindness… fall dead. You are a perfect shining example of the useless, feckless little fraction of disagreeable little sophistic s that couldn’t be pleased with what diversity YouTube offers. Go back home- to putting your head up your , and stay there.

The AC organ is of …
The AC organ is of exceptional utility and great historical value. As far as hearing it, I WILL HAPPILY PAY FOR THE RARE PRIVELEGE TO
HEAR IT, RECESSION OR NOT. All other minor, inconsequential issues remain just that- MINOR AND INCONSEQUENTIAL. The Wanamaker organ is a great instrument as well, but it can NEVER be compared to this particular instrument. You-19lfm12- are a MOOT CURIOSITY OF NO TANGIBLE VALUE TO GOD OR MAN WHATSOEVER. Die at my feet and I will forgive you.
