No, the head in question does not belong to Colin Egan.

As I posted in the comments of another video, I set up my video camera on a tripod and left it recording unattended. So, the person in the video most likely did not realize that the camera was recording. I do know whom the individual is but though it is disappointing to have a head pop in, he did not do it with malice.

The bodding head never really bothered me until others mentioned it. I can easily ignore it. The organ and the organist totally capture my attention. Both are utterly magnificent. The organ is a real treasure, and the organist really knows the instrument, and he is also a superb musician. He plays with expertise and real feeling. Will be going to see "Mary Poppins" tonight. My guests are very curious to hear the organ in person. I'll probably be sobbing with joy when I hear it live tonight.

I am sorry to report that there will not be a organ performance accompanying the Dec. 15, 2007 screening of 'Mary Poppins' at The Loew's Jersey. I hope that you and your guests will enjoy the film.

A good 'ol spitball or two would have fixed that "head problem" rather quickly; ha, ha, ha! At any rate, Ralphies music makes my sphincter pucker up with sheer delight!

Jeez....never mind the head already! Is that really all you can fixate on?? This song, "Dancing in the Dark," and brilliant performance certainly rise above such a niggling complaint.....

Go Ralphie, GO!!

{{OHS Catalog}} type that in they have lots of cds 4 sale...on the web site and thanks to loewsjersey for posting this. the fox theatre in detriot lol was my part time play ground as a kid in 1970s -1980 [my dad needed my then small hands to clean out the plaster out of the 32 foot Diaphones then tune them- it helped having a theatre organ at home to play on.

This man is pure genius. Please please please can we have some more of him on here - even tho he does get the tears rolling every time I listen!

Thanks for letting me know about the organ not being played on 12/15. I was disappointed to learn this, but we still went and we all enjoyed the theatre and the film a great deal. I'll be on the lookout for when the organ will be playing, and will take my friends again. They have GOT to hear this organ. Words cannot describe it. You have to be there -- in person.
