Wonderful! I not attended the program at the Oakland Paramount you and Rosy played, thanks to his letting me attend a rehearsal I actually got to meet you, and a terrific experience it was. Thank you for posting these, it really takes me back to a time when I was much younger, and anything Theatre Organ was a fresh, exciting experience.

This is fantastic!

It would have been wonderful if the entire concert would have been captured on film. I would have loved to have been there for this!

It is amazing that this was 24 years ago!

Thanks for sharing this.

Ganges, Egypt, China -- it was all the same place in the 1920s in America. Hawaii was a slightly different place then, but still akin to the Ganges, et al.

They were all so far away (much further than today) and folks rarely got to see the real places, except for photos in books.

Beautiful rendition.

The Ganges..? in Egypt...? Who knew.

I heard one of these guys got chased inside the theatre and was caught by the organ.

the organ part could very well be,

but I think it happened in a church instead...

[rshnrvrrbrt]

great combination of sounds...perfect, magnificent!
