nice organ what type is it?

@thinggybob Thank you for watching. My keyboard is a Yamaha 7000. I have had it for more than 15 years. When I bought it, it cost £2000.00, It was the flagship keyboard at the time. I would be lucky to get a tenner for it now. Over the years I have fitted three internal full length rubber pads, the ones which detect how hard or soft the key is played. I think I wore some of them out playing vibrato.Your tyros has wonderful sounds you would expect 15 years after the7000.

Best Wishes

why was there a helicopter landing in the back garden at the beginning?

@john1801rambo Thanks for listening. I tried my best with the keyboard mixer and controls but I suppose I was hoping for too much. I had hoped that the uninitiated would think it was an Avro Lancaster Bomber from the 617 squadron flying over my garden. Wrong again !

Best Wishes

Thanks for the tip about the radio (ATOS). I get my fix of organ music with the Organist Entertains. I listen online every Wednesday, that day after the programme goes out live. I can now listen to the ATOS radio as well.

Hi David -- Thanks to You Tube I discovered the movie The Dambusters and also "Coming In On A Wing and A Prayer" .... so appreciated your playing these "oldies" from WWII era!

I've also learned about the Blackpool Wurlitizer and am a fan! Give a look and a listen to ATOS (American Theatre Organ Society. It offers their radio .... which plays 24/7.

Enjoy the tunes from the '30's and '40's .... don't hear them much these days but are so enjoyable! Thank you for your music.

@forwardtenth Hi you got a nice organ sound there just brought the dam busters music for a quid! so will give it a go Yes the tyros is good but broke just 12 months later had it repaired under guarantee but at nearly 3 grand you would expect better service, I own a couple of technics one keyboard and one full size organ as well, picking them up cheap when money permits keep up the great work!
