[rodgersorgan] Fox unravels fire house by playing Rodgers Organ...


 From a web article by Gino Frencesconi:

"I was called shortly thereafter to substitute for an usher who was ill. By 
then 
I had the required clothing and I remember the thrill of signing in as an 
employee. I was assigned to the Balcony and the concert was the organist Virgil 
Fox doing a series of concerts to inaugurate a new electric Rodgers organ in 
the 
hall.  Pulling out the all stops took on a new meaning for me that night as Fox 
had so much sound coming from the organ that the vibrations caused a glass door 
behind me to open, behind which was a fire hose. The hose began unraveling, and 
that’s how I spent some of my first night at Carnegie Hall: holding onto about 
40lbs of bronze nozzle and canvas!"
