  • I would like to buy a digital like this, but i don't know where to get one, does anyone know where I can get such an instrument? (I'm in the uk)

  • Thanks Uncle Dave! Very nice indeed.

  • Tom was brilliant and so musical. His phrasing and registrations always captured the mood of the piece he was playing.

  • @bartonbuster --George admired Buddy Cole's musicianmanship, but thought "he played so many sad things all the time", Buddy P-O'ed George by once saying "George, why do you always play that corny s__t"? Both were hugely influential, but vastly different as to how they approached the instrument. Both were also successful studio musicians who happened to play the theatre organ.

  • A great old romantic song played so smoothly on the organ!

  • I think some of the comments are a little mis-informed, as Jesse crawford and George Wright were the best of friends and through the years , both men could not abide by "copy players".

    Their influence was very strong among all the TO artists, whether they admit to it or not, but Tom was an artist unto himself.  He played with some of the most ingenuous chord structure and phrasing that I've heard over the 40 plus years of my love affair with TO and the crop of artists.

  • Brought back memories - I had the pleasure of watching Tom play a number of times at Pizza & Pipes in Redwood City many years ago. I have recordings of both Tom and George Wright, and I can hear the similarity of their playing, but the one recording I have of Buddy Cole (with Monty Kelly (I think) Orchestra) sounds quite different to me.

  • I was also at the Grand Finale concert. It was brought to the Beatitudes Uni. in Phoenix Arizona. They are going to sell the Theater itsself pretty soon.

  • No kidden, I attended the organ's goodbye concert. Very interesting.

  • Nice job!
