Organ Recital Delights Presbyterian Church Audience
The organ recital by Prof. C. F. Nidd, formerly of Cranbrook and now Moose Jaw organist, drew eager listeners at the Presbyterian church after evening services. Praise for the instrument gifted by the ladies and for Nidd's playing filled the mood as Rev. E. W. MacKay thanked him for guiding the music and services. Nidd and Mrs. Nidd, Cranbrook visitors, plan further recitals, with Methodist church audiences hopeful for another appearance at Knox church. The varied program included Sabbath Evening Chimes, O Star of Eve, Tocata in A, Memories, Barcarolle, Festive March in D, and the National Anthem.
