I've known this artist for over 30 years and his hand registration of most everything he plays still amazes me. In fact,everything about him amazes me! His family has been suffering through a health crisis recently and your prayers and good wishes would be appreciated.

Absolutely tremendous. What a fantastic masterclass in registration, arrangement and technique. Thrilling from beginning to end. Thank you.

Great interpretation and skilfully played. I most enjoyed this performance...

What an outstanding tribute to George Gerahwin and his mentor Joseph Schillinger. You have given us a magnificant musical moment. Thank You, thank you, and THANK YOU!

Simply beautiful playing...outstanding work! Playing the organ is a wonderful act in itself. I wish I could play but I can't carry a tune in a basket...LOL! But I appreciate this so much. Thank you!

Beautifully played, very theatrical to his grand drum: Medley of S'wonderful, I've Got Rhythm, Summertime, Fascinating Rhythm, Our Love is Here to Stay, American in Paris, Rhapsody in Blue, Swanee, Strike Up the Band.

Absolutely great 👍

Sounds amazing ! I used to go to an organ pizza place in greenfield wi to watch Dave play when I was a kid . I always requested the Beverly Hills cop theme song , and Dave always delivered with style . Amazing !

Fantabulous playing David! You are not only terrific with Gershwin but you know the Wurlitzer organ and it's many complex features which enable a genius, like you, to be able to bring out the organ's most brilliant features. Kudos David!

WOW, I WISH I COULD DO THAT! Dave Wickerman is a marvel. And he weaves in the different tunes so well with, at times, one Gershwin tune supporting another. Also he used the organ so well. A reminder that a good theatre organ is a lot more than just a big pipe organ. Also, kudos to the organ builder. That is a magnificient beast! With so many going to the scrapheaps, it's great to see one at the top of its form. Sydney, please look after this beautiful instrument. Electronics, though cheaper and smaller, just cannot replace it.

Magnific

Wow!!! What a great performance! It did George proud.

Phil C I'm 75 and have been a theater organ fan since my first George Wright HiFi LP. This Gershwin Medley is right up there at the top of my Theater Organ favorites. Many thanks.

My God ! That really was something else ! ! !

Excellent

Again, absolutely fantastic, Dave at his very best! Everything from Moon River to the Widor Toccata in F, and at what a pace!! How he does this is really beyond me, no music, all from memory and all seamlessly joined together - what genius talent!! I’ve always love the way Dave uses the organ so dynamically, wonderful registrations and color! I think one of Dave’s tremendous features is his professional pedal work, just as good if not better than many classical organist’s….but boy, does the Astoria organ sound so marvellous with Dave playing, as only he can!!!! Thank you for sharing, and thank you Dave for your brillent musicianship!! Adrian in Bermuda❤️💕💕❤️ - PS - as an organ builder, it remains my greatest hope and passion, that one day we will be able to install Bermuda’s first Wurlitzer in one of our theaters or large auditoriums! Please pray for this, if it happens, Dave will be the guy to open it!!! 😀😀🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

THE JOY of your playing is greatly appreciated and made my day! THANK YOU.

Spectacular. Dave is right up there with the best of the best

Hervorragend.

Always looking forward to Dave at Blackwood in Harrisville, Pa.

Excellent display of talent as well as capabilities of the pipe organ... WURLITZER???

Well done.

....ok, David Wickerham is as prodigious as George Wright. Stupendous!

Sounds like an orchestra!

wow

I remember Dave playing the Kimball in a Milwaukee area pizza joint, eons ago. What a talented guy.Alas Las Vegas is now organless since you played at the Fiesta.

I love how David says, "nothing's ever played the same way twice". He is exponential! *edit: "nothing I play is ever the same way twice."

What an amazing performance. But then, I am trying to find one that isn't!

Go

I haven’t seen any information as to maker of this organ; Morton, Wurlitzer, something else?

Is anyone able to list all the songs in this medley ? I don't know all of them but would like to discover them :) !

блистательный

Sounds like a Heap of Chooks going to the Slaughter House

Rhythmically a bit odd in places (mainly opening phrases) and often shows off his enormous skill making registration/tempo/style changes to the detriment of the musical line, but otherwise great playing although often not idiomatic Gershwin. Then again, does it need to be idiomatic? I think yes to a reasonable degree; the composer, particularly a great one, should be respected in arrangements. So:- spectacular playing, but often poor Gershwin.
