A collection of memoirs by Noelle's father.

How does a black kid from a housing project in Detroit grow up to marry a Scottish lass, move to Canada, and play an organ concert in Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris?

Richard Birney-Smith began his organ career in 1951 at the age of ten. Since then, he has led a full life as a church musician, foreign exchange student, organ & harpsichord recitalist, orchestral & choral conductor, symphony member, symphony soloist, composer, broadcast artist, recording artist, francophile, husband, father and grandfather. Recollections & Reflections is the story of a fascinating life, well lived.
