Rhoades is playing again
The Historical Museum at St. Gertrude is very pleased to announce that Winifred Rhoades is once again entertaining her audience v  ia
old tapes that have been rerecorded and downloaded onto an iPod. This project
was first made possible by Mr. James Walker, a visitor from Roseburg, Oregon,
who several years ago spent a number of hours re-recording the tapes. But
since the equipment for playing the tapes was also outdated and in poor
condition, the music was not available in the Rhoades-Emmanuel Gallery
for many years. As a result of receiving final funding from the Lewis Clark
Trail Museums Initiative funds, the museum was able to get Winifred’s music
playing again.
Winifred Rhoades was a popular west coast celebrity for decades, as well as being a well-loved local girl, born and raised in the town of Denver, Idaho. Many return visitors have mentioned missing hearing the tapes of Winifred’s organ music as they visited the museum over the past few years. We invite you to visit again and hear Winifred’s wonderful performances! |
