Bill Vlasak - Hooray For Hollywood Wurlitzer Console

Does anyone know where the organ is located in Jacksonville?

@kingjames8283: I live in Jax & am excited to hear this news! Do you know the name of the theater where it's being installed?

The console in this picture at the Roaring 20's in Ellenton, FL is the same console he played for years while in Indianapolis at Paramount Music Palace. When PMP closed down, the organ went into storage for awhile then later purchased and moved to Florida where organist Bill Vlasak - Dwight Thomas moved with it. When the Roaring 20's closed, the organ was sold again and is currently being installed in Jacksonville, FL into another theatre.

That console is the same type as the old one in the Organ Stop Pizza in Mesa, AZ. It has since been replaced with a larger French style console.

I remember listening to Bill Vlasak play the Ohio Theatre Morton organ in the 1970s. Nice to hear him again!
