Mom Plays "Wave"

Back by popular demand, Mom playing her Yamaha Electone! This time I got a better keyboard angle for all of you organ fanatics out there. :)

Mom is 84 and writes her own arrangements.

You play very well! Sadly the home organ in America is no longer popular as Lowrey organ is the last of many that went out of business. Yamaha no longer offers the Electone organs in the USA as there is no longer a market for such home organs any more. Roland Atelier is trying to compete, but can not compete against Lowrey organs. The home organ is a dying market in the USA.

@patsaxon Yeah, Mom sold and taught organs for many, many years. She sold many brands, but she loves that old Yamaha the most. I believe she bought it in the mid-80s, and that thing is still playing great! She also has a Roland, but she loves the sound system that is encased in the massive Yamaha body.

Well Done!

Wave is a remarkable piece of music.

This is the only rendition I've found of Wave on an organ on YouTube that does not use a mechanical rhythm box. As such, it's a much more authentic sound. Hat's off.

Mom,

I only took about 10 lessons when I was a sophmore in high-school. My teacher, Dixie, taught me this tune. It is one of the few I remember to this day.

Now, Mom. I love your playing. Please keep posting. You have so many fans. Can you play other Bossa Novas?

Tom
