We had a great "mini-convention" in Joplin last sum­ mer, thanks to Bill Pohl and his fine local group of Amicans. It doesn't seem fair to use the term "mini" convention to describe these get-togethers in the "between" convention years, for although the attendance is smaller, our mini conventions are every bit as much fun for those of us who attend. As most of you know, revised AMICA Bylaws were en­ acted at the Joplin meeting. The new updated ver­ sion was nesessitated by many changes resulting from the expanded character of AMICA International. This year's AMICA International Convention is to be held in San Franci~co Thursday, September 1st through Monday, September 5th. I urge all of you to start planning for it. This is where it all began, back in the early sixties when a group of local San Fran­ cisco Bay Area enthusiasts got together and launched AMICA from a local club to a nationwide and later, an international organization. The first AMICA con­ vention was held in 1970 in San Francisco, so we have corne full circle so to speak.

  • The RTOS Story
    The RTOS Story As told by the following brief history, the Rochester Theater Organ Society (RTOS) story is one of inspiration, luck, near failure, community involvement, perseverance and untold hours of dedication and hard work by an unstoppable band of enthusiasts and volunteers, all having the common goal of saving an important piece of Rochester's musical history through the preservation and presentation of a magnificent Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. RTOS Story - In the Beginning In the beginning there was an organ, a theatre, and an organist. Wurlitzer Opus 1951 was built at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company factory in North Tonawanda, NY in the summer of 1928. At that time the 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) was well on its way to completion on Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. A native of Great Britain, Tom Grierson had experience playing organs in St Louis, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and eventually settled in Rochester. Here he had held several church organist positions and played engagements at several local theatres before being retained to play at what would soon become Rochester's most beautiful movie palace. Tom custom designed the organ, a 4-manual, 21-rank, ‘special’ which was probably shipped by rail to Rochester on September 12, 1928. Installation took three months and local lore suggests that due to Tom’s close relationship with Wurlitzer (he recorded many organ player rolls for them) and since Rochester was only a short distance from the factory, that the organ was the recipient of voicing and regulating services not afforded most Wurlitzer installations.
