Virgil Fox had over 100 concert pieces memorized - traveled the country in the late 60's/early 70's giving "Heavy Organ" concerts in rock venues.

learned about pipe organs. Like the first one was made by the Greeks around 200 BC with
more modern development occurring between 800 AD and 1400 AD. I heard on one program that the development of the modern pipe organ was equivalent to the U.S. space program and moon

6. Wanamaker Organ still exists although it is now a Macy's store.

The Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, in Philadelphia, is the largest pipe organ in the world, based on number of ranks and physical mass weight.[3][4] The Wanamaker Organ is located within a spacious 7-story Grand Court at Macy's Center City (formerly Wanamaker's department store) and is played twice a day Monday through Saturday. The organ is featured at several special concerts held throughout the year, including events featuring the Friends of the Wanamaker Organ Festival Chorus and Brass Ensemble.
