  • ORANGE stop tabs!?! -- Who's dumb-ass idea was that?! -- YECH!!!

  • @samueladams7 What's dumb-ass, as you so colourfully put it, about that?

  • I notice that on one close up of the marimba,the piano can be seen at the side but no Richard Hills-has he moved away or is it some clever video editing?

  • @caspercat0: It was the spectre playing the piano at that point :)

  • WOW !!!! Another fun song !!! (what is the rotating motor thing near the end?)

  • @kiwiplant The rotating motor thing is one of the Melotone generator discs. It wobbles to provide the vibrato. Notice also a quick glimpse of the 1930s valve (tube) line-up in the Melotone amplifier at the end.

  • Great production! I saw Simon perform live in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA this afternoon. That was a real pleasure. Incidentally- I mentioned to Simon that the sound response on this post might have been cleaner, but in retrospect, the problem was on my end. The post here seems perfect.

  • Awesome.

  • This was so delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

  • This is absolutely masterly - anyone who says otherwise is talking rubbish, hah! Would have been nice if the piano had been a Bösendorfer grand or some such, but you can't have everything in life!

  • @samueladams7 errm, John Compton I believe, considering that most of the theatre organs he made, from around 1931 ish, had orange tabs!

  • @alijanlondon What about the poor folks who do all the work behind the scenes, without them, we would have no theatre organs, and no organists! What about the man with the camera, without him, we wouldnt have seen what we have!

  • Great sound! What is the square percussion that you use in the beginning?
