I was born and lived in Racine. It's a crazy little town. There are multiple Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes. For the longest time they had one of the only free admission zoo's left in the world. My Great great grandparents homesteaded a HUGE part of Racine. What a trip.

We have a Mighty Wurlitzer here in town at Colorado State University, though I don't think it's the full-blown model this gent has in his amazing ""basement."" I really need to get over to CSU for an organ concert!!

46 years?!? I love it. I love to see people put this much passion into something, regardless of what it is. Fantastic.

I've never owned an AC/DC album in my life, but this came to mind almost immediately:

Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to receive
Fred is the dealer
he'll give you everything you need...

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK...WE SALUTE YOU.

I'll be in northern indiana in early january 2012 -- anyone wanna meet me around chicago or milwaukee to take a trip to Fred's?
