Organ Recital Music Online
Yesterday, I was able to convert some of my reel to reel degree recital music to CD format and then post several pieces from a recital I gave at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan. That recital may seem vintage to some since it was recorded on Oct. 20, 1978. A couple of years ago, I began to transfer reel to reel and cassette tapes of my performances (organ) as well as my wife's performances (piano) to CD. I hope eventually to have all of our performances on CD as a gift to our children and grandchildren. We are in our late 60's but still play and perform regularly, perhaps not at the intensity in the days of our youth. Nonetheless, it has been exciting to "look back" and listen to performances in which we labored hours to perfect. The following 4 links will take you to 4 different organ pieces which I played as part of an organ degree program on Oct. 23, 1978--"back in the day", some would say.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed playing the pieces. Here are the links:

A Man's Shadow
“A man’s body size
does not determine
the size of the
shadow he casts upon
those around him.
What determines his real
size and shadow
is the angle
at which the Son
strikes him!”
