The Old Rugged Cross - Alston & Alston

Be blessed as Patrick Alston and his brother James Alston duet on this Hymn of the Faith, "The Old Rugged Cross," at the April 16, 2011 recital at Sligo SDA Church in Takoma Park, MD. Patrick is on the Rodger's organ and James on the Steinway.

My mom passed away this morning at the age of nearly 92 and this reminds me of how we use to play together her on the organ and me on the piano most of the times albeit we could both play both instruments - miss you mom

One of my fondest boyhood memories was hearing the organist and pianist at my Brooklyn church play hymns and gospel music together. The powerful pipe organ and piano in harmony are unmatched. This takes me back and brings me to tears. Amen, brothers. Thank you.

'The old rugged Cross' is inspirational. Without the incident surrounding the holy event, there will be no Christianity

This is one of my favorite HYmns. I grew up singing this in the United Methodist church and this was simply beautiful! That Rodger Pipe Organ has the best response I've heard on a pipe organ!

Hello Dr. Amani Trosclair . I'm an Organest and Organ enthusiast, and I know for a fact that Rodgers does not make pipe Organs, meaning this is an digital electronic organ. However you can find Rodgers hybrid organs meaning that the organ is part electronic and part pipe organ, this is achieved when a Rodgers organ is paired with a Pipe organ such as an Austin, Wicks, Schoenstein, or Aeolian Skinner . I have seen the organ of Sligo SDA Church and there are on pipe to be seen that is why I highly belive it to be an electronic organ .

Absolutely beautiful, but I'm sad that the recording of the organ overpowered the recording of the piano towards the end.
