Silent Movie Night! Laurel & Hardy starring in Habeas Corpus

Step back in time as this hilarious silent movie is accompanied by organist Brian Ebie at the organ console of the Suffield United Church of Christ 1115 Ohio 43, Mogadore, OH 44260.

Brian will improvise a movie soundtrack as the film is projected, just like being at a movie theatre in the 1920's! Habeas Corpus is a short silent comedy film where Laurel and Hardy are hired by a mad scientist to rob a grave.  Hilarity ensues, as only Laurel and Hardy can do it, as they sneak into a scary graveyard at night and try to start digging up the dead fellow to bring back to the mad scientist.

Saying Goodbye to my Schantz Pipe Organ

Saying Goodbye.

My 1942 Schantz Pipe Organ, which I've restored, rebuilt, played, owned and loved since 1992 has been sold and is on it's way to Texas.  I will greatly miss the beautiful, sweet sound of that organ, and the reliability of it's mechanics.  It was a pleasure to play and listen to.  Just a couple years ago, Mormon Tabernacle Organist Clay Christiansen played it during a visit to our house.  He was impressed, remarking that "it is as versatile as an organ many, many times it's size!"
