Carol Williams has just performed concerts on the great organ in
Methuen, MA, and for the 100th Anniversary of the Ocean Grove organ in
Ocean Grove, NJ. Both concerts were filmed for the TourBus DVD
series. More information can be found at www.CarolWilliamsNow.com As
well as her concerts at these venues, Carol Williams interviewed
Edward Sampson, President of the Methuen Memorial Music Society, and
he gave the fascinating account of the history of this great organ. At
Ocean Grove, Carol interviewed Gordon Turk and John Shaw who told
about the celebrations of the Ocean Grove organ.
