My recent experiences listening to magnificent cathedral organs, first at St. Stephens in Passau, Germany and then at Schottenstift Monastery in the Vienna Woods, Austria, got me psyched about playing the organ today for the Park City Visitors ward.
Small attendance today, 120 or so...but the visitors ward frequently has over 1000 in attendance... on holiday weekends.
Hymns played:
Let Us All Press On
Gently Raise the Sacred Strain
Be Thou Humble
An electronic organ is not a pipe organ and an LDS chapel is not a cathedral.. but, I can fantasize.

Above: Tom DeLeon. Deceased 22 May 2016.
Tom was a motorcyclist.
I was at a couple of motorcycle rally camp outs attended by Tom and Mindy. But, only once did I ride with him.
Circa 2009 we rode from Park City to Moab together. We met Elk who had ridden from Colorado. We dined at the Moab Brewery and were finished at 4:30 PM.
Elk and I stayed in Moab, but Tom headed south for a grueling night ride through "the desolate rez" all the way to Phoenix...400 miles south of Moab.
Tom arrived in Phoenix in the early morning hours and was able to watch, that day, his son play football in an ASU Sun Devils college game.
Among many other of Tom's qualities to admire...iron butt motorcycle rider and devoted father.
My heart goes out to Mindy and children at this time of bereavement.

He was 65.

He was diagnosed with brain cancer back in 2011 and had been battling it over the last few years.

Now thas' a lift!
I'd like a lift like that for my 2012 F350. TIMDT says, "go ahead, but, I'll never ride in it."

Best Western platinum membership gets me corner room with a 270 degree view.
Winnemucca Inn is a regular stop on motorcycle trips to OR or the Bay Area.

Duc busted in Albuquerque, so had to take "the old girl (60K miles) on this ride. TIMDT says don't sell it. Proceeds, she says, for this old of a bike, not worth the effort.
I don't mind. Smooth ride yesterday through 375 miles of Nevada greenish basin and snow capped range. Dodging showers. Warmed by Gerbing.
And... you don't have to worry whether she'll start or not.
Keep the beemers serviced and they keep running.
Addendum:
Terrific!!
