Hey Dave, nice to hear about the pipe organ! I was born in SF, and
lived there 32 years. There used to be a lot of interest there in
organs of all types, from Sutro's to various churches, and there were
also at least 5 theatres (Fox, Paramount, Marina, Orpheum, El
Capitan) that still had playable organs when I was growing up in the
1950s. Keep us informed if your project moves ahead!
