Only three chords? I heard more than that in the Vid music. Funny! Nice to hear someone is sill playing good music. I played R&R in that same period and now I'm nore interested in Jazz and Amercian Standards.

My late organ teacher used to play the lounges in the 70's. Sadly, they've all gone to karioke, and DJ's. Sadly, most of the baseball parks, and other sports venues have gone to computer played obnoxious rock music.

Sadly I switched from playing the organ to DJing oldies around 1975 when the demand for lounge music died in the Cleveland area. Now I live near Austin and it's great because live music here is still going strong.

We had live organ music for hockey games here in Portland, Me. from 1976-1992, then the team moved, and the team that replaced them went to DJ/Computer generated rock music. The baseball team uses some organ music recorded into a computer (no live music). At least I had the chance to play for the hockey team before it went away (my teacher was their regular organist, and I was able to sub on occasion). We had an Elegante up there.

That had to be a thrill.
I always wanted to play an organ in an area, stadium or even a roller rink. All that wattage driving all those speakers, it must be a real trip.

I was too young to visit lounges, but my mom snuck me in a few and liked it and some of the music: The Sandpiper in Playa Del Rey, The Friar in LA and someplace called Slim Pickins' Lounge (or something like that) in Long Beach.
Once again, thanks for keeping the lounge sound going. I'm going to Vegas next week and I wish I have this in my MP3 player. Speaking of which, hope your having good luck with that CD project of yours.

Well that certainly answers my question I posted in your other video regarding the status of the lounges you played. It's a shame to see so many of them now out of business. At least you're keeping the memories alive through your posts. Keep up the good work!
