Don Cook, a fellow music professor who also went on the tri ip. In preparation for the excursion, the professors encouraged students to study German so they could converse with the families they stayed with. In addition, students were required to prepare several organ works to perform. “By mastering the pieces beforehand, we thought that students would be able to concentrate on getting the feel of the organs them- feel better — it’s my job to help themgetbetter.” better appreciation for the music and instruments to which they have dedicated their musicallives. “Sound recordings are wonderful, but no sound recording will ever completely captureall the dimensions these [Schnitger organs] have to offer,” says Bush. “Stu- dents were blown away by what they heard.” “ThelasttimeI reoffended, I was drinking alcohol, I had a bad dream that myvictim killed himself because of what I did, so I called my parole officer and told him the whole story.
