Rosa Rio toured the Saenger houses as a featured organist, & was house organist at Saenger's Strand theatre in New Orleans.

Rosa Rio visited the New Orleans Saenger Theatre on February 21, 1976, & played again on the theatre's organ.

This recording was made under less than ideal conditions, but if you've got the free RealPlayer, you can enjoy these selections from two very versatile performers - Rosa Rio, & the New Orleans Saenger Robert Morton organ.
