The home organists who have not had the theatre organ tradition just can't match these interpretations. Search "Percy Vickery" for another one. I hope that these YouTube videos will be a source of style for people learning these pieces at home. They're simply not played merely as the notes on the page.
I lived in the Atlanta area for a long time and remember when the Fox came close to destruction.
So glad that the marvelous building and the fabulous organ were saved. Last summer I attended Region IV American Guild of Organists convention in Atlanta. Some of us got to visit the Fox and hear "Mighty Mo"...what a treat!
it sounds georgeous! i love hearing that organ! thats why its always good to get to shows extra early to hear him and see the organ go up and down!!!!
This was the source of melodic inspiration for Brian Wilson's " Surfer Girl"

Great sound and good acoustics too. A joy to listen to - - love the pipe organ - theater or otherwise.

Used to listen to Larry 30 years ago at the "Pizza & Pipes" chain in the Bay Area (San Fran) and enjoyed his style and warm personality.
Great to see him still at it!
