Bill Parker, a Chesapeake man, is a whiz at building old-timey organs to an organist from N.C. The theater organ used to play alongside silent movies at a theater in Newport News; Parker then heard it growing up at a church in Portsmouth where he fell in love with the sound, and later found its parts in an acquaintance's basement. He instantly recognized them and rebuilt the organ by hand.
