Organist is really unique. This ceiling does a remarkable ceils of projecting the soupd no the back of the room. It is like a warm bath when you hear this organ play. When you hai sit on this befrmn huge wall of sound going over me and out into the room. I have been here 23 years now and im still thrilled as much as i was the first time i heard them. One great story has to do with helen keller who was here in the early 19 hundreds and spoke at the pulpit behind where im seated here, if you can call it speaking.
