California.

Hi Al,

Nice videos! Perfect timing on posting these links. I'm a pipe organ technician and the Arlington Theatre is one of our clients! In fact me and my boss are currently in Santa Barbara working on a project for another client. Small world, eh? :)

Glad you liked it Rick :D

To think - this guy is 'technically' and amateur but certainly doesn't sound like one. ;)

I am sad to report that my computer speakers do not do justice to the performance. The tiny little speakers just are not the same as hearing the performance live.

A wondrous device to be sure, and it has three manuals more than my old Bechstein. Rather more pedals, too. That's a talented youth and very versatile with it. Fortunately my music technologist son furnished me with a wonder-lead...a means of plugging my laptop into my 6-channel home stereo, so I can literally fill my drawing room full of that sound, and what a thrilling sound it is. I also did it with Rick's De Jazz Vu snippets from their website.

Playing one of those must convey a certain sense of power.

I was fishing through YouTube and found a clip which some of you 'organisms' (as in organ fans/players) might like:

This thread seems as good a match as any for some classy playing.
