Yes, I did. My dad was preaching at that church so we were there for the service. The (80-year-old) organist has only been playing for a few years -- she switched from the piano -- so she kept it pretty simple, but it's got a nice sound.
It sounds lovely! My great-grandfather worked for the Kimball organ and piano company, in the production and installation departments. Supposedly there are organs still around that he installed, and I would love one of these days to seek at least one of them out and hear someone play Bach on it! :)
From my understanding, well-maintained organs can last for hundreds of years, so that would make sense that there was still one around for several generations.
I got the user pic from semyaza, who fairly frequently posts icons made from old manuscripts and illuminations. Definitely worth checking out if you like that kind of thing!
