I have a good deal of nostalgia when it comes to organs, as I have fond memories of my Grandfather playing his. Very pleased to see these beauties have been restored. I fear that organ playing is a dying art form in a modern electronic world.

People don't understand:
1) How pervasive right-wing propaganda is. I hear talking pts even from people who don't directly watch it.
2) How much people believe that politicians won't implement certain policies because they've been protected so far & if they are, that it won't affect them.

Our Founding Fathers would be quaking in their boots watching what is unfolding right now in our Republic. To elect men (and women) of such low character. They would be ashamed.
