Noteworthy: B.M. from Westminster Choir College, Princeton, NJ. Performed organ recitals at cathedrals in London, Paris, Copenhagen, and Helsinborg (Sweden), at Riverside Church in New York City, and at Overture Hall in Madison. Played the complete organ works of J.S. Bach in a series of recitals celebrating his 300th birthday. Oddest practice quarters: The front portico of the Duomo in Spoleto, Italy. Funniest concert experience: While I was a member of the Westminster Choir singing the Mahler 8th with the New York Philharmonic, conductor Leonard Bernstein gave a huge downbeat to begin the first movement. On beat two, his wristwatch went flying over the entire cello section and hit the organist clear across the stage! Recurrent musical fantasy: Playing for church services without sermons!
