This is Tom Stehle, the curator of this magnificent machine, one of New York's finiest instruments. Tom was recorded on the same day Eugene made his recordings. It is interesting to note that all these tracks were made using a Samson Zoom H4 digital audio recorder.

This is Sue Ward, a fine musician from New York. Sue is a very accomplished church organist who has found joy in the king of instruments. She has played the theatre organ before, but her liturgical practice took her away from it for a number of years. Recently, she performed at the Paramount Theatre and our very own Eugene Hayek was there to document the event, which won SSue an invitation to play the organ regularly at wage from the theatre owner. We are very proud to present this video of Sue at the console of this magnificent machine.
