FANTASTIC... as always Mark.

Another great concert, Mark! Thank you so much! This was the organ that started my love for theatre organs. It was installed at the Pizza & Pipes in Seattle where my family would often go to enjoy the pizza and music

Anyone know what happened to the instrument that was built and installed at the organ grinder in Toronto? We went there when I was 8 or 9 and got hooked then. When we went back to Niagara Falls years later and we did a day trip to Toronto but it was already gone. Someone told me it was purchased and installed in private home.

Mark's usual super talented excellence in performance and fantastic choice of songs! It's always so good to hear an organist who is clearly putting emphasis on the music rather than technique, even while being superior in the latter department.

Fabulous, Mark! What a fantastic treasure you are to me and all theatre organ lovers out there. This Wurlitzer is incredible too!

Terrific!

Funny coincidence... As I'm listening, I'm playing Scrabble on my phone, and just as you started the Cole Porter medley, the phone's AI played the word TIBIA.

What a slushy sweetheart of an organ, and in a wonderful room. Thank you for an excellent performance 🙂

nice organ, nice playing. I love the donkeys. I hope they can hear and enjoy the music. I trust they have a good and loving home. Would love to play this organ, but , alas, im hundreds of miles away. Mostly in the Twilight Zone.

Jerry Gould and Greg Smith did a fantastic job rescuing the Greenwood Pizza & Pipes organ and reinstalling & expanding it in Jerry's barn. I never heard the 32' rank that was removed from the barn, but I understand that Mark Herman acquired that gem rank.

Fantastic organist, great music, wonderful organ in an ideal setting what more could anyone ask for. I play this with my vintage Hi-Fi, closed my eyes and it was just like being there.

Hello from North Texas 🙂 Great to hear your music again! I remember your first 'show' at the 2005 ATOS convention. As the saying goes, you've come a long way - and it's fantastic as ever! 🙂

Bravo Mark, and I loved hearing "Calcutta" at the start of the video.

Wonderful concert Mark! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

@pianoman4Jesus Ай бұрын

I got the impression from part of your talk about the organ that this organ still operates on original relay equipment, correct? From the PSTOS entry about this installation I read: "There is nothing electronic about it, no solid-state, digitized anything. This is completely acoustic!" Is it indeed an original relay it utilizes? Excellent recording. Thank you for sharing it.

Encore!!!!!

Great Program Mark. We just moved the consoles back to BCT so maybe we'll have a play able instrument shortly.

Another great concert Mark! Loved the Cole Porter segment. I am wondering if in the near future, you would mind playing “Our Love Affair” from the 1957 Academy Award nominated “An Affair To Remember”. It was played throughout the movie, usually using an organ as the primary instrument. I would love to hear you play it in one of these magnificent theatre organs. Well done!

Fred Hermes has one in Racine Wisconsin. He plays silent movies and plays the organ.

Is this instrument seriously on its original EP relays? If so, then that is awesome. Wish more Wurlitzers retained their original relays.

@jacobwoods8738 Ай бұрын

So do I. When the video first showed the console I saw the pistons and stop rail and was immediately hopeful it might be original or relatively original. A precious rarity these days.

@8546Ken Ай бұрын

At 11:40, Mark says this instrument is "lightning fast" with its original pneumatic relays. Why would these be faster than modern solid-state-relays?

@kc9scott Ай бұрын

I’m pretty sure the point is that the original EP relays, when properly adjusted, can be fast enough to not be any kind of problem for playability. The better solid-state relays are still faster than EP, but not by enough to really matter. There are also some worse solid-state relays that can be slower than EP in certain situations.

How many ranks? By the looks of the stoprail it seems like around 16 but sounds like more thanks to great registration technique.

Thank you so much Mark (from France, brittany). How can you block this high E b at 5:16 a while you're playing something else with your two hands?

There’s a sostenuto switch on the swell shoe that sustains the Great manual while activated.…A nice trick found on many theatre organs!

"Lover Come Back To Me" was especially FANTASTIC!!! I love Simon's arrangement, but you may have topped it, Mark! Fabulous!!! This piece is a sentimental torch song for many of us, and you tugged at all of the heartstrings with that arrangement.
