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

After this, if you've not seen it you're in for another treat. See if you recognize a prominent cartoon voice. *Harry Warren: America's Foremost Composer (1933)* , Harry attended his tribute by the Lawrence Welk Orchestra on October 7th, 1972 (6 days before my 7th BD) here: *The Lawrence Welk Show 1972 Harry Warren Tribute* [ Harry was in casual wear...no tux! 🙂]

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.

Mark, you are an oasis of musical sanity in an era when popular/light (give it a name) music has, in most cases, ceased to be music. Thank you, for your taste and for your God-given talent. Thank you - or did I already say that?

Mark, I enjoy your theatre organ performances immensely, not only for your playing, but also for the polished presentation. Now to discover this aspect of your skill, not only your technical ability but your innate musicianship, displayed on your superb Mason & Hamelyn, is well, a new bowl of delights (but not Turkish). So many younger people dismiss the eras that not only produced the great music you play, but also fail to see that Musicianship has almost disappeared. OK, I enjoy producing music with modern technology, with AI etc, but non of this musical world can even start to match ability such as yours. To listen to this concert is an unparalleled treasure, yet another reminder from you just what real light music is (I can get this only from my Reproducing piano, but the repertoire of light music from that past period was small). Thank you Mark

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!

"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.

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?
@kc9scottАй 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.

Is this instrument seriously on its original EP relays? If so, then that is awesome. Wish more Wurlitzers retained their original relays.
@jacobwoods8738Ай 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.

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.

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.

@pianoman4JesusАй 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.

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.

Sweeeeet playing Mark! You've got the passion. Excellent recording! Those pipes singing through room adds years to ones life. Just pure bliss. SAVE THE ORGANS 🙂 I find TPO music sounds best through Magnepan Magneplanar speakers. They are a large surface area and low pressure. It's as if it's coming through the shutters. And low pressure also means low ear fatigue, as well as the sound stays more confined to the room. If you go to another room you don't hear it as loud, if at all.
