The man deserves a medal! His house should be preserved for future generations once he no longer wants to live in it! Lets get the National Registry paperwork started!

This is absolutely amaaaaaaaaaaaazing! I’m stunned!!!

God bless Fred and all of his wonderful work… may he play on forever even when he reaches the big theater in the sky.

I’ve sent the Fox video link to myself and will forward it on to all of my “theater & organ nuts”.

How amazing, especially as the house looked relatively small in the exterior shots. What a positive attitude he has.

I’d hate to be paying the electric bill for that motor. Assuming 220 V service and a 3-phase motor, it’s probably drawing about 46 amps at full load. Maybe he plays really short songs. And he probably has no trouble hearing it, since it was built for a 4,000 seat auditorium.
