...Capriccio has gray walls and a hi-fi set which Gene and Pat and Dave play in the day-time. Under a three-colored chandelier (which turns on after dark), a man with a guitar strums and moos from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Two gold-bordered mirrors grace the south wall, and outside, where nobody notices, hangs a lantern which Dave believes once hung in Benjamin Franklin's house...
...calm, friendly man with a reputation for an even temper, eager Engineer Murphree lives quietly with his wife in suburban Summit. N.J. He relaxes by listening to records on a hi-fi set he assembled and installed himself, and by playing 16-handicap golf.

The recorded sound is sweet and-being hi-fi-a little bit clearer than it would ever be in a church. Two years hence, if all goes well, Westminster's Complete Organ Works of Bach, an estimated 22 LPs, will give the organ-happy public a complete earful...
