Technics GA3 - John Bowdler Cavalcade Pontin's 2005

[Tauntonjams]

which Pontins is this?

[RitaSueBob]

@Tauntonjams This was Pontin's Squires Gate Blackpool - now demolished. Cavalcade is now located in the Norbreck Castle North Shore Blackpool every year (May).

@RitaSueBob thought it might have been! I'm a ex bluecoat from last year, so was interested to see which site it was :)

Brilliant, as always, there is only one JB, a star & true gentleman

[tegid699]

I could play better than that when I was 14! I am now 50 and I have much more hauir than him and can still play better!

[RitaSueBob]

@tegid699 You sound jealous perhaps you should be called toogood699 rsb

[andygin]

He best in Blackpool ! This is good but a bit like the wheel tappers & shunters club x

hi RSB Thanks for your reply... in recent comments you stated that you did not intent to make any new vids of JB due to some jealousy from the other organists...I am wondering if minds have been changed and that we may again see more of your wonderful vids in 2011 either the Tower or other venues...Please keep up the good work we do really enjoy them as you well know

[mukkypup]

Hi RSB Dare i ask have minds been changed?and that we may see more jb vids in 2011......Please!!

[RitaSueBob]

@mukkypup How many do you want? rsb.

My dear Ritasuebob - thanks for sharing this with us. I have previously downloaded the best of the John Bowdler videos that you put on this site, but just last week I invested less than 100 pounds in a mediastreamer called LG DP1b (Google) that allows you to... stream from YOUTube directly to your TV-screen. Of course new television sets have often this feature built in - but this solution is ideal if you own an old set. I just wanted to give this advice to others in a similar situation.

[RitaSueBob]

@pqrst88 Thanks for the info will investigate - I'll check on our latest TV to see if it is already built-in perhaps it will interest many people, Thanks again rsb

@RitaSueBob I never used the feature called 'playlists' before, because I rarely

(never) sit for hours in front of the computer and just watch Youtube. But in the living room

one usually sits so there it makes sense to watch YouTube videos - essentially the ultimate "Video-on-demand" - and free. I derive form West-Jutland, whose inhabiants can be said to resemble Scots, in the sense that things shall be quality and , if possible, free of charge. But now I have a Playlist called "John Bowdler".

That Technics Organ has a real great sound! It is too bad that Technics no longer makes home organs any more.

[RitaSueBob]

@patsaxon He has enough spares to last another 20 years - perhaps another type of organ will be found during that time that matches the GA3 in the sound department something that looks like an organ and not a keyboard supported on sticks but something that weighs half the weight of the Technics. rsb.
