Great performance. You've captured Ashley's left-hand technique which always was more 'functional' and orchestral than most other organists who simply plop down chords. Bravo!
Very nice! I love this song, and this arrangement is really beautiful! Well done! How is the Senate organ doing, by the way? I had heard some reports that it was kind of limping along there for a while, but I know they've been doing some major work to it...hope all is well with this fabulous instrument!
Thanks for the tune and the link. I think you are correct that he did not record "Strangers". Among the things we have to thank Ashley for besides his masterful playing are the arrangements he left to allow us to remember him by. I was fortunate enough to have heard him play many times. Esp. on one occasion when he did the Orchestra transcribed for TO of Gershwins "Rhapsody in Blue", while a young Native American concert pianist Jim Leafe played the piano part.

Very good! I wish the organ could stay at the Senate - quite a success story.

Very good. You should play movie overtures or other jobs requiring theatre organ.
