Very nice...thanks so much for jogging the skating memories. I got hooked on organ and skating at the old Rollercade in Cleveland (Earl Neuman on Mighty Wurlitzer), then went on to Brookpark Skateland where Rich Broglio reigned. One of our neighbors used to be a lounge organist named Jack Spellacy...he would sometimes play boogie woogie versions of hymns as folks were walking home from Sunday mass at St. Patrick's. Great times to remember.
@ffuhssk8trref - Spent many hours at both rinks you mentioned enjoying both organists. That Wurly at the Rollercade was some organ and the customized Concorde at Brookpark had a sound of it’s own. Thanks for the comment!
Sounds like what I do sometimes, a little 'burn off some energy' session. Wish my practice sessions sounded as good! Good graphic blandishment! (learned that word from watching Charlie Brown specials.)
I love that term blandishment LOL. I like taking songs every which way I can, get a lot of ideas that way. Of course my neighbors may not understand my 20 minute versions of Mary Had a Little Lamb.
