We don’t know if organists have an equivalent to baseball’s legendary Shoeless Joe.

John is music minister at Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church in Baltimore. He also teaches at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. He presented a Hymn Festival that included a choir of area singers and the Solid Brass ensemble.
