The Detroit Fox, America's largest surviving 1920s movie palace (5,174 seats) has the worlds largest intact original theatre organ... the mighty 4/36 Wurlitzer. I gave 33 Hungarians a tour of the Fox on Aug. 31, 2011, and David Calendine played this wonderful piece for the group. These Hungarian musicians and folkdance performers were simply stunned by the magnificence of the Fox and its' organ. This was the highlight of their American tour...
I love these old Fox Theatres. Not too many of them are left anymore thanks to corproate idiots that wants to take over the entertainment industry. A theatre isn't a theatre unless it has an organ.
And before anyone says this.. ill say it.. I was panning too fast near the end of the song .. because i was tripping my way through the seats lol. When i go back. i will do things slower.
Despite the jerky video, Dave's a treat to hear!

This theatre is the best. When bulldozing Detroit, this and the people mover should be saved.
