 [   Albert Decap, born September 24, 1931, comes from the famous Decap
 [   organ-building family of Antwerp.  His father, Leon, and his uncles,
 [   Camille and Firmin, made organs that were sold throughout the world.
 [   Previously many were in dance halls, such as in "The Fourteen
 [   Billekens" and "William Tell" in Zandhoven, now most are in
 [   collectors' homes and in museums.  His brother-in-law, Jef Hertoghs,
 [   who sold the Decap organs, defines Albert Decap as a true craft
 [   artist.

 [    ... the arrangements by Albert Decap are reputed to be so lively
 [    that "even the tables and chairs dance" (sic) ...
