A montage of pictures from the Alan Ralphs photo collection, now in the care of George Houghton. Most of the picture captions are a direct transcription of the notes written on the back of the photos.
Alan was an early member of the Fair Organ preservation movement and started in a group called the Fellowship Circle of Showland Fans or "FCSF", which evolved into the Fair Organ Preservation Society.
The music is from Fair Organs recorded on a collection of 78s and date to the late 1920s and 1930s. The 78s have been compiled into the "Amsterdam Memories" CD, also owned by George, who I would like to thank for his permission to post this video on YouTube.

Sing along (in Dutch) to this video slideshow of organ pictures converted from a Powerpoint presentation by Clara van Gulig (http://blog.seniorennet.be/clara_powerpoints/archief.php?ID=365932).
Apparently, organ music does you good...it's official!
Caution: You may be humming the tune for days!
Is that Hiddo I see in there?
I attempted to contact the author of the original Powerpoint by email to ask if she had any objections to the video conversion and publication on YouTube, but I have not had a response as yet.

In Part 1 of this video series about traveling the waterways of France on a tug boat, Richard Goodwin starts his voyage of discovery through France by river and canal from the Seine in Paris. He starts by showing us a haberdashery with thousands of different coloured ribbons and fringes. Then we visit the extraordinary Marie Yvonne Herzog whose profession is making women feel really beautiful in her special lingerie. Shoemaker Mr. Massarro shows us some of the incredibly expensive shoes that he has made. Amongst some of his clients were Pope John II and Marlene Dietrich. Then on to Goyard Trunks which is probably the most exclusive and expensive luggage manufacturer in the world. They have on show the trunk they made for Conan Doyle complete with typewriter and travelling desk (the modern equivalent would be the laptop). Then on to the woman who supplies a good part of the feather boas to the Oh La La business. In the Place des Vosges, there is a man who was a butcher working with his father. The day his father died he chucked out all the butcher's equipment and hung his collection of ancient musical instruments on the meat hooks. He can play them all. We finish with Mistinguette singing her magnificent song about Paris.
