Organ at St. John's Presbyterian, Berkeley
Not in the news, but it's the organ photo I had.

Some recent stories to do with mighty organs. Okay, Peter Hartlaub's is from 2023, but read it anyway.
- Alex Ross, The New Yorker, "The Organists Improvising Soundtracks to Silent Films."
- Lucy Hodgman, San Francisco Chronicle, "A massive pipe organ is dividing a small California town. Can it be saved?" (gift link)
- Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle, "A 40-ton organ sits under City Hall. San Francisco is trying to give it away." (gift link)
Very locally, the Castro Theater is re-opening soon and apparently will have a new organ. I know nothing of the fate of the much-disputed-over old organ.
