Driving the Stang

Upon our return to Mesa we had a couple of days to visit with Vyra and Waind. We traveled in the red Mustang convertible that Waind had rented. Lots of fun!!

We stopped at Lost Dutchman Museum and took some photos of us in the Stang in front of the Superstition Mountains. Traveled a bit further and walked the Needle Vista trail. Then drove down to Tortilla Flats enjoying the open air ride on the twisting and turning road. Had a dawg, or fire hot chilli (Waind), while watching the Tortilla Flats Band perform. They are always good for toe tapping and a good chuckle. 

We ended our day having supper at the Organ Stop Pizza. Watched the amazingWurlitzer  Organ and all the variety of mechanical instruments connected to the organ's stops under the capable hands (and feet) of Charlie Balogh.

Wurlitzer organs were originally designed for use in the silent film era and are called theatre pipe organs. This organ has been modified resulting in 78 ranks (sets of pipes), 17 tuned percussions and innumerable traps and effects, making it the largest Wurlitzer in the world.
