We visited the birthplace of Helen Keller in
Tuscumbia, Alabama. The home has eighty five percent of the original furnishings. The organ in the parlor still works. The tour guide asked me if I played and invited me to play the antique organ. One of the old time favorites of the Keller family was, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a song I know very well. What a thrill to play the antique pump organ that was once played by Helen's mother. Helen said she can tell music from other vibrations by its
rhythm. She detected loud and soft tones, swelling chords and dance measures. Each musical instrument has its own quality of vibration. She said the music of the organ rolls, thunders, sinks as if into the sea, mounts upward and sweeps out into space carrying her soul on its majestic wings.
What a beautiful outlook she had on life.
