@grindergordie i thought that those shots of under the keys was neat, could you start doing more of those?

[drepalla]

10 years ago i could play it. wouldn't dare try now! merry we roll along is about my limit now unless i wemt back to playing hours a day. I packed it in and got my life back!

[furrypeanut1]

@adrianswhitehead Haha, must say, his arrangement isn't the easiest of them all.

Is this the same organ that was in San Diego at organ power pizza?

[Stanley459]

Reminds me of the late 70s/early 80s when I was a child. My folks and grandparents used to go to a pizza place in Lansing, MI called the Roaring Twenties.

I miss those days very much.

Wonderful playing, Lew!!!

That was where Gary Reseigh performed. And his son, Ron Reseigh, is an organist now as well... a MIDI of a concert by him is included with MidiTzer, which is how I heard of him.

"it sound´s to much, to full..., the manufactoring, is very good, but, to much full in sound..."

This is an amazing performance of the 12th Street Rag. Super playing by Lew Williams. Thank you for this most entertaining post.

[djdreamgirl]

just magnificent!

Lew is one of the best out there! I would love to see this organ in person. It sounds good! It would take me a year just to learn all of the switches, tabs and buttons. Keep up the great work!

Where is this organ located?

[MR87IROCZ]

@bayonnebridge in mesa, arizona.

Lew Williama plays very well! I have played on a pipe organ at church, but never a theater pipe organ. I have playing my Thomas organ Eldorado 792 as it a great organ to play many styles, including Hammond jazz styles. I also write theater organ songs too!

You notice the calm demeanor....almost a Buster Keaton Deadpan as he manipulates the most difficult fingering of notes. His sense of humor is the same deadpan calm as he cracks a joke that will have the whole room rolling on the floor laughing hysterically and spewing pizza and root beer from their nostrils for the next 15 minutes.

great arrangement! It was played realy well!

[comptonplus]

yes, very Sidney Torch!

[bobemdog]

GREAT WORK!!!

[light4darkness]

if you like him, also listen to hector olivera, the 2 gentlemen are about equal ;)

[greytemp]

Very good. Have a nice day.

[patsaxon]

I am also an organist too as I am very impressed with his performance! I love the organ, especially playing on my own Thomas organ! This guy is very talented!

[ono69]

[matthewbason]

[nickysqq123]

I agree ... Sydney Torch was one of the best ...
