Wow, that La Marque logo is amateurish. I wonder what they paid for it.
The pipe-organ-in-a-house is awesome.
The pipe organ house is prime example of the awesomeness of humanity.
My wife played his second concert there at his house. The organ is amazing, kudo’s to him for spending the better part of his life putting this together. Its unfortunate that many organ purists find things like this to be the frankenstein equivalent of a musical instrument. Glen is a great guy.
