    Organs seem to be hot these days.

    Put extra guards on valuable ones.

    Sad. Just like Notre Dame? Interesting…. And a church in France had same misfortune last week. God help the world.

      While much is not known, Notre Dame’s organ was not engulfed in the flames. Hopes persist that it can eventually be restored
