Dick Reese Organs (B'ham, Ala.) - 1977

Vintage late '70s commercial for a piano and organ salon in Birmingham, Ala.

Reminds me of the "Tex & Edna Boil Organ Emporium" parody on SCTV.

"What's with the backup on the Greensprings Highway?"

"All those people, they're just slowing down to take a gander at Dick Reese's Organ!"

' for thith price'

[FecalMayhem]

This company also ran a promo in the early '80's where you could choose between a free shotgun or rifle with the purchase of a piano or organ. I SWEAR this is true.

That's hilarious! Tex and Edna's Barbeque and Curio Emporium. Who could forget that ?

He'd probably have a bigger fit if he'd seen what he looks like in the suit before shooting the commercial.

Right, Tex?

That's right, Edna!

Dick Grease? I saw that at Spencer's once.

Dick would have had a fit if he knew back then that in 25 years, people would be giving them away practically for free.
