[Organsk8er]

Nice playing!! How big is the organ? any idea when it was built? I also really like the console!

[Organsk8er]

@Organsk8er 102 ranks...doh...

Love the 32' Bombarde!

[scicodude]

WOW! Beautiful rendition :D

[TURBOKNIGHTRIDER]

what about more barefoot playing?;)

[DesireeDeFete]

GREAT job! Don't ever play faster.

[TrinityUMCOrganist]

[cromorne]

Does anyone use anything other than Organmaster's at the console?

@cromorne socks

[DesireeDeFete]

That's the most beautiful Schantz console i have ever seen! love the woodwork and contrasts

[AllenOrganCrazy]

Isn't it? It's beautiful.

[DesireeDeFete]

It's deceptive! You think Casavant for a moment. But, it's unique. You two are doign some good work. When I see good playing like this, it makes me want to go get my masters so i can teach college.

[AllenOrganCrazy]

Yes, That's very true! I've seen many Casavant's like this..but beautiful just the same...and thank you! We are only in high school at the moment. I'm a junior and he is a sophomore.

[DesireeDeFete]

Well. Im visiting Indianapolis in November, and we should go have a jam session. I'll bring you all some goodies.

[AllenOrganCrazy]

Cool! That would be awesome! Cody actually lives in Pennsylvania and was here for a couple weeks. He's not here now unfortunately. :(

[footlover1685]

Now where are you organ shoes my friend? :) I am working on that piece now.

[RobtheKappelmeister]

Where's the church??? Nice Job Cody!!!

[AllenOrganCrazy]

Sorry. It's at East 91st Street Christian.

[CoutureOrganiste]

Its funny how we as not only organists but human get so accustomed to things. I have a graduate degree in organ but if I don't have a light on the pedal, I don't know whether to s**t or go blind. LOL I agree with Octave, I HAVE to have at least some type of shoe on whether it's my OrganMasters or a pair of Pumas. Great video and nice tempo!!!

[cromorne]

Really? I've learned to adapt without a pedal light. I play an Austin console that has a terrible pedal light in a dark church so you can't see the pedal board at all. It's helped my feel of the pedal board. Oh, and I hate Austin pedal boards.

[codeman2008]

This goes out to that foot guy. LOL. My organ shoes were right there, but I didn't bother putting on... lol.

[octavebasse8]

Without shoes! haha

I can't play without shoes. I think its more of a mental thing versus a physical thing.
