As I write this, I am prepping my B3 and Leslie for a long trip to Bernies Music Land in
Ringwood Victoria Australia. I want to thank Bernie Capicchiano for keeping the legacy of
this magnificent instrument alive. My organ will be in the museum of Bernies Music Land and with
good luck I will be returning again to Australia in the future to play it again on the other
side of the planet and next time it will be powered by 240 volts folks!
Thank you Bernie and Bernies Music Land Award Winning Musico Team!
