I was the owner of the pump organ that William was restoring. It was an inspiration to play and was the instrument upon which three compositions emerged, Borrowed Song, Christopher, and Eliza . . .and were later recorded.
We shared a few emails, an mp3 and a phone call (I’m in France) about the instrument as he began to dig into it’s interesting history. I wonder if he ever got to hear it sing. Though we never met, I appreciate this opportunity to share in thanks for all he was and did, with all who treasure him in memory.
