Great pipes

    June 7, 2011

    Imagine a time when movies had no sound.  The 1920’s were the silent movie era.  One of the ways you were put in the mood for the picture, was through the theatre organ.  First Experience steps back in time where one of those famed movie organs now calls the John Dickenson High School home.
