Arcada Theater mourns volunteer organist, historian | |
November 21, 2013 The iconic marquee of the Arcada Theater in downtown St. Charles typically announces the upcoming shows of traveling performers. On Wednesday, that sign made a different sort of announcement: "So long to our resident rockstar, organist and friend Jim Shaffer." Shaffer, 78, a longtime volunteer who played the theater's historic pipe organ before each show, died Tuesday at his Aurora home. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20131121/news/711219960/ |
