You have no idea how awesome you are for putting this up on youtube. Or maybe you do, based on the other comments. Either way, you have enriched the lives of us all!

"A million future-ass dollar"? <33

[pianoman930]

Coolest encore ever.

New Hampshire is my favourite state song. It's a great song on it's own merits, but the fact that he had written it all onto a carousel organ takes it to another level!

[klmnumbers]

I love when his vibrato kicks in right at the end of "leg".

[evelau]

The guy in the audience says "What states are those?"

[616Earth]

What does the audience member say about the shapes?(the one that Linnell agrees with)

[616Earth]

lol good call, I thought he said "A million future-ass Dollars!"

[AnaAerophina]

Right before Montana/right at the beginning he was smiling like he has this secret he's never gonna tell anyone. So cute. :3

[Deggey]

Oh, ya. I wish I could get my hands on it, even though I don't own a record player! xD

[AdiossMofo]

He was right about the value of that record

[evelau]

I think he said "futuresque"...? I'm not sure. Either way, funny. :)
