What a joy to go back to Long Island/New York City where theater organs were part of my life. (Classical organs, too, because I sang as a treble in the Garden City Cathedral and often spent Sunday afternoons at St Thomas 5th and 53rd)These are the hymns that carried salvation, not the blah mantras of today. Sunday night at our Ind Baptist church was Hymnspiratation with piano and organ and congregation favorites; no breaks in the music. Our organist was a staff organist at Radio City/NBC playing at Rainbow Room, the skating rink and on radio. Holidays we heard the great organs at the NYC churches and the movie palaces like the Roxy, Paramount and RCMusicHall. And the organ in our church was fine as well as the 2/7 Wurlitzer in my high school auditorium.
Are the specs on the organ you play available on line?
Thanks for recording forgotten music in a forgotten style. |
