As an award-winning filmmaker/retired concert pianist, Ray Arthur Wang challenged himself to learn how to play the organ in one month. This video is the result.
Video shot and edited by Wang / Audio recorded by Jon Williams at The Front Porch Studios, Livermore, CA. This location is actually the basement of the house of Karl Wente, winemaker of Wente Vineyards and founder of The Front Porch Band.
Heck, if you like the performances enough, you can even download the MP3 duo at http://www.rawpp.com (search "Bach" or "USA"). And share this video with your friends too!
