    Don’t like having to say this, but the music that was played today between 2:30 & 3:00 was way too abstract for your listening audience. Could not hear the music at all during many intervals because of the music being played so very-very low! This is a big no-no in my book, please play music the audience can hear without having to strain too badly, or having to adjust the volume so often.

    Thank You,
    Randall

      Hello Randall, sorry about that. Some classical pieces have a very wide range from very loud to very quiet. We try to manual adjust the levels sometimes if necessary.

    Hi, just heard a piece today (3/4/18,) the one prior to 2:23. It was some sort of Chinese piece but I did not catch the name. What was the name and is there somewhere where I can hear a recording of it? Thanks.

    Today 2/4/18 on Pipe Dreams I heard the most magnificent rendition of ‘What a Friend We Have In Jesus’. Who was the organist and can I purchase that recording?

      “What a friend we have in Jesus” was performed by Ben Kerswell on a 1988 Holtkamp Organ at 1st United Methodist Church, Iowa City, IA. It doesn’t look like he has a cd out at this time. Here is some more info on him: http://www.agokc2018.com/programming/performers/ben-kerswell

    What was the song medley that you played around 2:30 today? Sorry. That’s all I know. I believe it was a young man playing a theatre organ.
