Due to the unusual circumstances facing us all, it was necessary for Christ Cathedral to delay the previously-scheduled May 2020 weekend of inaugural events celebrating the return of their restored pipe organ, now rescheduled to the first weekend of January 2021. As a result, and also due to the limitations of the stay-at-home production process to which we have been limited, we've chosen to delay our own previously-scheduled "Hazel's Back" broadcast until later this year, allowing for a better overall program to be produced and placed in a more timely adjacency. As a result, instead of today's originally scheduled material we offer this 'encore' broadcast from the PIPEDREAMS Archive which originally aired during the week of 1/15/18.

Continuing support of PIPEDREAMS is provided in loving memory of Wesley and Lucinda Dudley by their family, with additional support from Walter McCarthy, Clara Ueland, and the Greystone Foundation, by Jan Kirchner on behalf of her family foundation, by the Art and Martha Kaemmer Fund of the HRK Foundation, in celebration of the life of Martha Hulings Kaemmer, and by listener-contributors to this public radio station. Additional support comes from C. B. Fisk, Inc. of Gloucester, MA and Foley-Baker, Inc. of Tollund, CT, members of APOBA, the Associated Pipe Organ Builders of America, a collaborative of designers, creators, and maintainers of pipe organs found in religious and educational institutions, concert halls, and residences throughout the United States and beyond.
