Foley-Baker, Kotzschmar Memorial Organ, Part 1

Bishop Gadsden Episcopal Retirement Community, Charleston, South Carolina

An update

Several months ago, I fell and tore my right rotator cuff, again! Though I continue to heal, there have been a few setbacks. Holding my arms in the position necessary to play any of my instruments has continued to engender really severe shoulder pain—and so has any effort to type.

From the Minister of Music and Consultant

When I was appointed Minister of Music in 2008, the organ was to be on the docket for a long-anticipated restoration early in my tenure. Upon learning about the vision for this instrument that was started under Dr. Robin Dinda, FAGO, in the early 1990s, two things were clear: the Young Memorial Console built by Austin in 1996 prepared the organ for significant expansion, and a new floating Solo division was to be part of this vision.
