There are many fine pipe organs in the faaabulous churches of San Franthithco, but remember that most organists (everywhere else anyway) do not kneel to the Bendoverian schism. You can safely drop your car keys around them without fear. Virgil Fox was an exception, though, and I have my doubts about a certain popular female organist known for her flashy wardrobe and more brass on her knuckles than a Vallejo gangbanger.Robert Gift wrote:While riding GART (Gay Area Rapid Transit) to visit my gay organist friends in SFC, I saw an SD-10 in the distance on the Oakland side.
(This is before I developed the mental illness of liking air raid sirens.)
The only Bay Area counties that seem to have a working siren system are San Francisco and Contra Costa. I have seen Whelen sirens that were recently installed in Benicia (Solano County), but I don't know whether it is a county or a city system. When i was a kid, their FD had a diaphone, but it's gone now.
