Hi, Fran. The Wanamaker has been on my bucket list for several years. Due to your prodding, my wife and I took a two day trip to Philly to experience this incredible machine. We were not disappointed and took in three performances. The last performance was special -- we sat in the "best seats in the house" next to the console and were excited to meet the organist Luke Staisinunas. His performance was just magic. Thanks again for your attention to this historic masterpiece.

2024-02-28 02:19:07 +0000 UTCI grew up listening to records of E. Power Biggs, Virgil Fox, and many others. My Mom was an organist, and my Dad was an organ enthusiast. We had records "starring" the Wannamaker Organ, as well as the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ. Very disappointing to hear that this magnificent instrument is in trouble.
