Organ Concert at FMH

On June 10 Fox Music presented a concert of organ music by Mr. Brad Bryan. Brad is Regional Sales Manager for Lowrey's Southeast territory but he is also an experienced and gifted organist. His exceptional musical skills and knowledge of the Lowrey organ in particular are the result of his playing Lowrey organs exclusively since 1963. His unique style showcases many types of music from country, bix band, and gospel as well as popular standards. Brad's musical skills have been put to work in the studio on no fewer than 36 album projects for various artists, including six of his own albums. He has his own radio show via the internet. The address is www.Live365.com. Put Lowrey Organ Radio in the search box (a space between each word). You can then choose what style of music you want to listen to. He is on 24/7.

All current, past, and future Lowrey class members were invited to the concert. Approximately 70 were in attendance.
If you would be interested in one of Lowrey's Senior Adult Recreational/Wellness music classes at Fox Music, call Judy at 843-568-7997. New classes will be starting soon
