The Mighty Wurlitzer of the Colorado Springs City Auditorium

KRCC, Colorado Springs    February 5, 2010

The Colorado Springs’ City Auditorium joins many programs and facilities throughout the city facing cuts and possible closure due to a significant budget shortfall. This weekend, the first of several benefit concerts seeking to raise money to help save the auditorium takes place. KRCC is a sponsor. But inside the building sits a relic from another time…a Wurlitzer Theater organ, and a local treasure for many. KRCC’s Michelle Mercer visited the auditorium for a rare demonstration of the Mighty Wurlitzer from some area musicians . . . one seasoned on the organ, another, a novice.
