I was surprised to hear a Classical radio station announcer say Wednesday, "Traditional wisdom is that people don't care much for organ music, but I've never really believed it."
Is it true that most people don't like music played on the organ? Organ music ranges from reverential when played in church to cool and swingin' on jazz recordings by Jimmy Smith and Joey DeFrancesco. It can also rally fans at the ballpark. Considering that versatility, it puzzles me that many listeners supposedly aren't crazy about it.
