Westword is Denver’s weekly news and entertainment publication, with a print circulation over 270,000 and an online readership of 1.5 million. During the Denver Road Trip, it was an honor to be invited to sit with reporter Gil Asakawa for a couple of hours, discussing the documentary project and the history of the Organ Grinder.

In February 1979, an Organ Grinder opened at 2370 West Alameda Avenue, its awesome glass cylinder façade and very ’70s slanted, wood side panels facing the street. The curious and the hungry, as well as those who loved organ music, lined up and then went through a tunnel-like entranceway to a vast dining room where they were enveloped by the sound of the pipe organ and the smell of the pizza.
