I was not a kid who ran screaming from Santas. I knew when I was in the presence of the real thing, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

I used to be an organist, but I never played an organ this big!

Looking towards the Wanamaker and the Cunningham Piano building....

Randy proposed to me right here, on October 30th. Awwwww!

This is a modern organ called the John Wanamaker Court Organ in downtown Philadelphia. It is the biggest organ in the world.

Count the keyboards. All those buttons on the right are called stops - they all make the organ produce different sounds when they are pulled out. If you want the organ to be very loud, you would "pull out all the stops." That is an expression that means "do your very best with everything you have." That is what I hope you and I are doing today!
