Our BACH-A-THON on March 17 was a great day of music making. Those who performed and others who attended and contributed can be very proud of their support for our chapter and the future of the organ.

As of this writing, we have a total income of $850. Here is the list of people who contributed by performing, contributing money, or both. Please consider making a contribution so that your name can be added to the list for future publications.

St. Luke Lutheran Church needs an organist.  St. Luke is located at 4200 Epworth Rd. and is an ELCA congregation of  approximately 80 active members. The current organist has resigned effective the end of March. We will need someone who ideally could play for a 5:30 p.m.  Saturday service as well as for a 10:00 a.m. Sunday service. Ability to play the Lutheran liturgy is desireable but not essential, however must be learned.

If it is not possible for one person to play for both services, we would consider employing one individual for Sat. eve. and another person for Sunday. The individual(s) hired will be playing an Allen organ that is about 15 years old. The salary for this position will be based on the individuals skilll and experience.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in this position, I would  appreciate you having them contact me either by:

  e-mail: wecnew@aol.com
  telepnone: 853 - 5962 or
  Send resume to: Willam Conklin
  4155 Pine Drive
  Newburgh, IN 47630

Jeff Lyons writes..."Who around here plays/knows about theatre organ music? I wish I could find some literature on the style and some music written for the instrument. Other than the Wurlitzer at Vincennes U., is there a theatre organ in or near Evansville? Who would be a good teacher for this?"

Thanks, Jeff Lyons
