  • Ralph Ringstad, in the best tradition of Jesse Crawford, was a true poet of the theatre organ. Will miss him a great deal. I listen to this clip at least once a week.

  • @LocomotiveBreath2882 He is the person who donated the organ to GSTOS for installation in the Loew's.

  • Quite a complex chord there. I know enough to say that; but I don't know what it is.

  • Wonderful to hear this music.. Awesome sound & playing is brilliant. ....brings back such beautiful memories of the past in Jersey City . Beautiful...keep playing Ralph...I'm an oldie gal from Lafayette!!!

  • Ralph is *outstanding.* He can coax that organ to do amazingly emotional things. His playing is sweet beyond words. This music *defines* the instrument called the theatre organ.

  • At exactly 7 minutes and 3 seconds Ralph hits a chord that just brings all my emotions to the surface. You gotta be good to do that and he is very good.

  • I`m here again! I find that I am so transported by Ralph`s playing that I don`t even notice our mystery "head", the poor chap only wanted to see Ralph`s fingerwork a bit better and who can blame him for that?

  • I love this song - - beautifully played here especially in the low register at times. I think the man who keeps popping up in the picture on left doesn't realize he's in the line of sight - - think he's trying to sneak a peek aroun the console to see more of the organist playing the keyboards and pedal. 'Course would have been nice if someone had just nicely tugged him back out of the way. Love this organ and the marvelous acoustics of the theater. Great!

  • I`m here on my daily pilgimage to Ralph at the Morton and he still keeps having just the same effect on me, I think I`m addicted! Hazel xx

  • I just can`t leave this one alone, it draws me like a magnet every time. Totally brilliant.
