MORE ORGANISTS PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS!
See, that’s like a wacky organist joke. An organ stop is a component of a pipe organ that admits pressurized air to a set of organ pipes. Or, “stop” can refer to a particular register – the rank of pipe controlled by a particular stop. So the phrase “pull out all the stops” – meaning to do something elaborately or on a grand scale ≠ may be the only idiom to ever come to us from the organ player’s trade. None of which has much to do with the Organ Spooktacular taking place on Wednesday, Oct. 31, at Birmingham-Southern College, except that the organists performing plan to put on a frighteningly good show. The concert starts at 9 p.m., which means you have plenty of time to take the kids trick-or-treating before driving to the BSC campus. Get details 226-4952 or visit www.bsc.edu.
