For some non-technical information about the Rick Cooley's Bruder
organ [061204 MMDigest] I have to tell about the first time I saw
it.  Bill and I were visiting in North Carolina and stopped at
Doyle Lane's home and saw the organ for the first time.  It was in
_so many_ pieces, and the only thing that even resembled an organ
was the facade.  I jokingly said that if we didn't get it back
together we might be able to use it as a head board to our bed.

We bought the organ and then Bill went down with a U-haul truck and
drove back home with hundreds of pieces of parts.  Bill worked on it
a couple of years.  He and Mike Kitner were in touch during all this
process.  Upon his death we were in contact and I sold the organ to
Mike.  What a great job Mike did finishing it.  I'm glad to know
where it went.
