There was a man, a young man who loved music. He could play the guitar and sing. He liked popular music and sought groups to play with. With practice and experience he got pretty good. A popular boy band was in need of a guitar player when one of their own dropped out. He filled in wonderfully. He met a girl and fell in love . . .

New on Rise and Shine – Organ Prelude

Leave a reply

In 2020 the Dahlonega Ward received a new Allen LD-34 Digital Organ replacing the original Allen Organ installed in the building more than 30 years ago. That organ had limitations and problems that the new addition surpassed and improved to the delight of all those playing on it. To introduce the new organ to the ward and stake, a recital type program titled “Meet the Organ” was held in 2021. This arrangement by Andrew Unsworth of ‘Prelude to an English Folk Song’ also known as ‘O Waly, Waly’ was played by Kay Bohn at ‘Meet the Organ’.
