taking my first-ever trip to Philadelphia next week in order to hear

Funny you should ask, someone I know was raving the other day about the
theater organ at the Wanamaker's department store--apparently it's one of the
largest of its kind in the world and famous organists come to play it. Might be
worth seeing.

I'd hoped to go to the Pearl Fishers myself but my schedule doesn't
permit--hope you'll give us a full report :-).
