About 28 years ago, Ray built an organ. That, in itself, is a wondrous task. And he had plenty of space to build it....because he did it in the basement of our home. However, we have wondered ever since just how we would ever get it out of the basement when the time came. WELL.....last Friday (June 5, 2009) the time came! Ray has not played it for several years and even had unhooked the speakers and amplifier and we just had it covered and pushed against the wall, looking ominously somewhat like a coffin.
I have to say it is a beautiful organ with gorgeous dark (heavy) wood - I say "heavy" because it took 4 guys with a lot of brain power and muscle to figure out and get it up the stairs and into the U-Haul trailer Denise and Michael had rented. I did my part with the camera!
Denise plays piano and organ and not only did we want her to have it, but she also wanted it because her Dad had built it. Ray hooked everything back up before removing it from the basement to make sure it still worked (and it did....hooray!)
Now the infamous organ is at Denise's home in her front room. We are happy---she is happy!

I never knew Ray built a organ. I am impressed. It was great to see you guys Sunday. You guys look great.
Frannie, the word I spoke out loud was WOW! when your space loaded on my 26" screen. I'd give you my blog site, but it's ruined to where the html is scrambled. should I try another type of blogging?
And the story is wonderful -- I knew Ray he was talented, wonderful.... So, will Denise give a concert? Love you! I'm gonna grow up to be just like you. Oh, I used to live in West Jordan w/the Wunderleys up the street.
I am so impressed that Ray built an organ! How nice that it will be used again, too. Hey I have missed you guys for a couple of weeks!
