  • A one word description? Impossible to capture the essence of john’s playing in just one word!! But when I listen to his playing, there is something not just quite coming from the majestic Wurlitzer’s sound production, it’s not coming from the spirit of the composers either. I believe it is the spirit of both composer, organ maker rising through John.

  • @jthornejnr Have to agree with you -- Happy Christmas and New Year - rsb

  • What an absolute magical moment in time. That has surpassed anything I;ve ever seen or heard before. John is an absolute magician at the console. Well done you for capturing this on video. Used to listen to Reginald Dixon in the 50's as a young boy but never got to see him or the organ. This was such a joy to watch. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • @996franki1 Thanks Frank for your comments Reg Dixon is hard man to replace and still lives on in his music.

    Same for us in the 50's but JB has a way of his own to express his style. rsb

  • Sometimes when you play. the mood takes over. and the magic really comes out !

  • @simonsteam Not only the music comes out but the steam as well. thanks for commenting rsb.

  • @spunkbot Thanks for your comments Cheers rsb.

  • John knocks spots of many tower organists and is a true pro.

  • Surely you must agree! I can see and hear it being expressed through John’s playing and his energy rising up through his body and being expressed through his hands onto ivories and filling the air! – doesn’t matter what he is playing it is visually audible. Inspirational without it needing to be spiritual!! You have a blessed talent and the fact that you enjoy it makes the experience double the delight.
