I've asked several keyboard players down through the years for songs by artists like the Doors, Animals, etc. They've all delivered beautifully, but their individual Keyboards don't have this "Real" sound. Today's most advanced electronics can't seem to come close. I wonder what it is that gives this type of Organ, this particular sound? Thanks for the awesome performance and post!
@slowdog294 Hope your year is starting out well for you.I had an idea today...what would happen if you put Conn pipes over the face of an Allen Gyrophonic? Know anyone who has ever attempted such a feat? Seems like it might be cool! What's your thoughts
(Anyone can answer, but hope to hear from the Bone Doctor too)
why are you all worried about clicking sound and noise from mechanics, Enjoy the super talent and the splendid performance. Listen to the music and admire the musician.
RE: slowdog294. Thank you for the benefit of your response. My Hammond organ is 52 years old and has no such issues. I did state "regardless of what organ he's playing..." meaning I've heard him on a number of organs and the clicking is there for all. Guess the felt is worn off of anything he plays. So, rather than us beating this to death, I would appreciate hearing from Mr. Bone Doctor himself. Thanks Knightsix
When you put a camera with built in microphones very close to an organ console, it not only picks up the sound coming out of the speakers, it also picks up the mechanical noises the console makes. Since most of the consoles I have played when making my videos are very old and noisy, you will hear clicks and bangs, etc. Also, I am a bass player who also plays acoustic piano and have heavy hands, especially when I am getting into the groove. That is the source of the noise.
@60knightsix The bode doctor isn't the only one who could benefit by a refelting, it seems to be pretty common on youtube. I think there is some kind of frequency in those clicks and clacks that gets picked up easily by a digital camera's microphone. What gets me is that 90% of the organ buffs who play probably would have very little difficulty in plugging a separate mic into the camera and putting it closer to the organ's tone cabinet?
I love this song ^.^ And honestly, with the fact the felt bushings are worn out, the very distinct "clickety clack" fits in quite well with the energetic songs.. or atleast this one! Look forward to move video's from you, Sir Bone Doctor.
I can't believe you thought those were fingernails clicking on those keys! Some People! You did a wonderful job playing that organ. Wish you would put more on, so bouncy,and I don't care if it does clickity click. I love the music.
I don't know what it is about this gentleman, but regardless of what organ he's playing, he generates a very discernable 'clicking' sound with each touch of the keyboard...I'm left to conclude he needs to trim his fingernails. Knightsix.
The organ is fourty years old and the felt bushings are all worn out. That is what you are hearing, not my fingernails, which I keep trimmed short so they do NOT make noise on the keys. Since the kic was fairly close to the console, you can hear all the noises it makes.
I got to say your CONN Organ sounds beautiful even with the felt on the returns being worn out. I also have a CONN Tube Organ Though mine is the #645 Deluxe Theatre Organ, Still... these old CONN organs have a warm and smooth feel to the sound they put out. God Bless the Old Tube Organs!! :) :) GREAT SONG TO!!
@60knightsix I think we should listen and appreciate this man's talent, tune out the clicks, watch his fingers, and enjoy the music he shares with us.. Fred
Esta polka alemana la conocemos en hispanoamérica como "BARRILITO" es muy alegre y festiva como para tomarse uno unas buenas cervezas acompañado de alemanes, arios o doichlandeses.
@GregMargis MINOR league? The only difference I detect (not being any expert) is the -- well I want to say, the size of the organ. This one would not fill a ball park. I always enjoy your music, slowdog. Have a great year!
Original name of song: Madřanská Polka, componist: Vladimír Vejvoda
This song came from Czechoslovakia to the whole world in many versions: Rosamunde (german version), Beer barrel polka, Škoda Lásky (original version in czech language.
Your comment make Youtube super!! a musical journey..... German, Andrew sisters,Black musicians...more.............Thanks and Greetings from Holland!
WOW WOW WOW Man that was great! What coordination - I "kinda" play the piano and reading both staves AND using the sustaining pedal is difficult for me - great to see you using 3 keyboards - the sound effects AND your foot playing those pedals. Wish I could do that. Thank you
when I listen to this music, I imagine a movie scene.... psychopath walking into a mall and opening fire. People running, screaming, women crying, mayhem....then there's the clown
Excellent work, My father can play the beer barrel polka on either of his organ's and the piano. I'm getting ready to take one of his organ's and learn how to play myself. Either way beautiful work and excellent rendition :)
Thanks much, my dear Red Baroness. This was a fun song to play. I am thrilled that you like it and also that others got to hear and see it too. That made MY day!
You have been very busy. I loved your beer barrel polka. If you get chance listen to wrighty205 The third song in his medley is very quick. let me know if you like it- I did
You got both my feet tapping with this one Doc, "Wonerful, Wonerful, Wonerful" Nothing like a good polka well played to brighten ones day and mood ! Thanks a million !!!! Dave
