Titanic / "My Heart Will Go On" played at Alabama Theatre

[kenorg2]

Who is the Organist playing?

[Tuber30A]

I keep coming back to this and I swear this version makes me want to cry since it is so mournful yet so wonderful at the same time.

[Tuber30A]

Does anyone notice the first few seconds sound like a few words from Gordon Lightfoot's If you could read my mind?

"and you wont read that book again because the ending is just to hard to take...."

[Tuber30A]

This sounds like theatre music from the era the actual Titanic sank.Well done !So haunting yet so beautiful.

[dumbdexter]

This is such a cool organ installation.

I was there when Gary played this and sounded much better (this is prob on a cell phone video). Was the last number he did before they played the Titanic movie. He's an awesome player...just wish you could hear this organ and him in person at the Alabama

[caddyorganist]

It sounds fine to me.

[craigkeller1966]

Perhaps the player is making a tongue in cheek comment about the song etc as he and the console majestically sink into the floor. Did you see the iceberg he hit?

As always, the ship sank, get over it!

[Baroque1750]

The 9/11 of its day Titanic was...

You wouldnt go around saying "The planes hit the tower, get over it" would you?

[craigkeller1966]

Oh yes, I forgot. Overblown hype about a ship being unsinkable then the inevitable happens and this entirely changes world history and politics. How silly of me!

Perhaps Osama's grandfather was on the iceberg?

[Baroque1750]

Hey dickhead, incase you arent aware of history, which I guess you arent, the Titanic changed regulatory processes in ocean and ship lines in up and down America and Europe, which also had great effects on WWI 2 years later. It was because of Titanic that they created the International Ice Patrol which has been on guard since. The disaster has also effected the designs of future ships, particularly in the amount of slag mixed in the metal, and how they rivet ships.

And respect those who died.

[Streetcar1743]

Yes I agree with Baroque. I think it's time for craigkeller's fantasy land to sink! Titanic went down in April.  Not September. It was April 14, 1912 when it went down. The ship took over 1500 people with her when she sank. The movie made in 1997 which tjhis song is with shows what can happen when you disobey the regulations onboard ships.

No, the Mighty Wurlitzer at Birmingham's Alabama Theatre, rises from the floor at the beginning of each concert or pre-movie musicale. At the end the organ always sinks back to it's home under the stage.

The theatre organ is a great instrument ... but not for this piece ... or at least this arrangement ...
