Hello, everyone.
It has, indeed, been an extremely difficult few weeks. Tim's disappearance and untimely death has been devastating to many. We at GUMC are thankful for what Tim did to help us with this project. His voicing abilities were astounding. I have been in contact with his closest friends and family. I do have, on our music department website, the last recordings Tim ever made - which happened to be on this organ.
https://www.greenwoodumcmusic.org/hauptwerk-organWe will be making a small acknowledgment and "thank you" to Tim during the June 22nd program. I have been in touch with Tim's family and they are aware of the event and said they would try to make it.
Under the circumstances, I've also had to find another theater organists to play the program. Luckily, Indy has a large theater organ presence, so Justin Nimmo - who works with Carlton Smith - will be our featured theater organist on the program.
