REGINALD DIXON plays RADETSKY MARCH (Johann Strauss arr. Winter)
on the famous BLACKPOOL TOWER BALLROOM 3/14 WURLITZER ORGAN.
Taken from the Columbia Long Play Album SCX 6221 released 1968 -
"MEET MR. BLACKPOOL" from the ComptonLodgeStudios Collection.
This recording brings back so many memories for me of visiting Blackpool
with my Dad for long weekends enjoying masterful Sunday Concerts
at the Tower with Reg. and the Empress Ballroom with Horace Finch,
not forgetting the delightful and accomplished Watson Holmes.
Reg. would spend hours after his Sunday concert performances
chatting to his adoring fans and signing photographs and recordings -
nothing was too much trouble for this retiring, friendly and delightful gentleman.
