92 Key Decap 'Jeanneke' Dance Organ Dansorgel at St Albans Organ Museum

[ceredigio]

Jeanneke also has a Savoy Scottish Medley in its library. Any videos of that? And is that a Peersman book as well?

@ceredigio I will ask next time I'm there for the Scottish Medley to be played, and hopefully video it! :)

[perleeman]

@ceredigio It is indeed a Peersman book.

The Savoy English Medley is outstanding! There is another video of it being played, in a slightly different arrangement, on Hines Golden Marenghi.

"Jeanneke" was the very first dance organ I saw+heard as a young kid, and I can clearly remember being stood mesmirised by the key frame just like the cameraman, but only just tall enough to see it. Happy Days :)

[ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

Yes! its ME! Playing the organ! This is my second home! a video star at last!!!!

[IanPostlethwaite]

i thought the first tune was called Rampart Street Raccoon?

[Pianosyncrazy]

This is someplace I have to go in this life. Please tell me these song selections are not accidental.... amazing !

[perleeman]

The first tune is 'Drum Boogie' arranged by Albert Decap. 'Savoy English Medley' is by Eugene Peersman!

@perleeman Brilliant, thanks for the further information. Very glad of people like you and Peter out there willing to help out! :)

[perleeman]

@nickn5nl No problem! In fact I live not too far away from St. Albans so go myself fairly regularly. I absolutely love this place! Fantastic organs with some really great books of music! I hope you enjoyed your visit, I was there the Sunday before you were! David.

@petermackett37 Thanks for that - I knew I knew it but it's very frustrating when I can't bring to mind the title! :)

[petermackett37]

@nickn5nl Always happy to help,Nick!

@petermackett37 Peter, do you know if the arrangement of the Savoy English Medley on Hine's 'Golden Marenghi' is by Peersman or by someone else like Chiappa or Marenghi? You can hear it on Youtube as well, it is a slightly different arrangement and a couple of the tunes are missing.

[petermackett37]

@ceredigio Kevin Meayers did the arrangement on the  Marenghi.

@petermackett37 So it's not an original 'historic' book then! Thanks Peter
