Why not put a piece of American musical history---one that only lasted about fifteen years (1915-1930)---up for all the world to see and enjoy once again. It's terrific stuff!
Featured here are my very cool (at least I think so...) "Phantom Duets": vintage Ampico reproducing piano roll performances, MIDI'd into a Steinway/PianoDisc, then enhanced live by me on the Wurlitzer Pipe Organ. Honestly, it's some of the happiest, smile-on-your-face music you've ever heard!

the paramount theater in Newport News Virginia. A lady named Gladis lyle (spelling?) played a big
organ at the Paramount theater in Newport News. I remember it was large, came up out of the floor and
was wonderful to hear her play. Thanks for posting this great video. Bob Wiggs
