Happy Valentine’s Day!
High school sweethearts Brad and Debbie Avakian describe going out to the Organ Grinder in their teenage years, and then later recount a humorous interaction between their parents during one family outing to the restaurant.
Brad and Debbie have been together 40 years, after dating over six years before getting married.
In addition to Brad & Debbie and their folks having great affection for the Organ Grinder, their two children, Nathan and Claire, both drew inspiration from the place. Nathan, in fact, made pipe organs part of his career – but that’s another story.
Music: “After The Lovin'” by Ritchie Adams, performed by Paul Quarino at Organ Grinder Portland.
