Thomas Orr ---------- Professional Affiliation: I am a member of the Southern Arizona Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. I am Vice President and Corporate Secretary of Pipe Organ Artisans of Arizona. We are a small company that services most of the pipe organs in Arizona, some in New Mexico and Texas. We also rebuild instruments, have two large ones in Tucson. I am a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, where I sing in the choir and occasionally play for services. I have had a life long interest in the pipe organ. I grew up the son of a Methodist Minister and so was exposed very early to pipe organs. I remember the frustration I felt when at age six the organist in my dad's church said I couldn't learn yet because my legs were too short. I did grow taller, however, and by twelve was starting to play the organ, though not well. I studied organ with Wesley A. Day, organist/choirmaster at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, and cut a lot of new organ teeth on the Aeolian-Skinner in that church, recently recorded by JAV [?]. My profession is social work, and I have had to learn twice is that I cannot work full time and sustain a church playing job. So, I content myself with occasional playing and singing in the choir. Although I am very partial to pipe organs, the sort of organ I want for my self would have to be electronic in order to have an affordable instrument that will do what I want to do.
