WILL SHERWOOD:
MUSIC CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Raised in a music-encouraging family, Will began playing by ear at the age of five by listening to funeral hymns broadcast in the cemetery where his childhood house was situated. He had his first church organist position at age 12, organist-director at 18, and served several churches throughout his career, ending at First Unitarian, Worcester, Mass for 37 years. He is Emeritus Principal Organist at Mechanics Hall, Worcester.
