Tower Ballroom Wurlitzer 3

My final collection of clips from my "organ experience" in August 08. I'm scraping the barrel a bit this time, but a few decent bits are still hanging around if you listen hard enough. There are a few mistakes (including a corker of a wrong chord in Baby Face), but I hope you enjoy this last selection of clips from my first time playing a Wurlitzer organ.

Get auditioning! You'd make a great addition to the Tower Team...

I am now also hugely proud to be able to say "I've played the Tower WurliTzer", and I can vouch for the fact it plays fantastically!

[spudweiser0]

yes- its got a very quick response which is handy when you're playing up=tempo. Any videos of your tower outing getting uploaded any time soon? would be great to see you in action on "the real thing" if you know what i mean.

You Are Great! You play so well. Maybe you do not give yourself enough credit. My dream has always been to create a smaller version here in the White Mnts of NH. I know it could "fly" I found a 2,640 hundred Sq ft church to be able to try. I am now retired." it's like to much to little,to late" Oh well...I just wish You could be the organist for my dream

I liked that it shows that any good tune can sound good in the blackpool style =]

@wurlitzerwanker I know I am, now stop posting drivel on here and get back to the dishes.

this is the sound I meant on the other video I watched, headphones on here , listening to this I am smack in front of the organ getting a full stereo sound, I am sitting on your lap here, it does not get any better than this sound all encompassing surround sound. mind blowing, gee I enjoyed your tower experience, is the organ still in the tower, I hope it stays there for eternity,its just the most wonderful sound of music hahahaha I love it.I am stunned and in awe. I understand why you like it

[MrFrancisH]

Lke it. Good for you 'young un'. (Said with a Lanky accent).

[wurlitzerwanker]

Fantastic!

[commodoregeorge]

Paul, what can I say other than glad I got to know you before you become really well known as an organist. By the way is that the organ in that Victorian Dance Hall in Blackpool ? Only kidding mate , if you could have put the thing in your pocket and taken it home you would have.

[clippedlad]

Well done! The registration is spot on giving a very well balanced sound. Keep up the good work.

[EddieE1977]

Unfortunately I didn't take any video of myself at the WurliTzer, I only had a 1 gig SD card which was full of photos! Shame really as I also got to meet "Queen of the Jungle" himself, Christopher Biggins, who was there filming the introduction for a DVD he was making. He was a good laugh and just as camp off-screen.

I have been tempted to make a new video at the Yammy, just no idea of what to post/play/etc... as per usual. Lol

Great playing and great selection of tunes, how many of the pistons do you use?

One year I want do the Tower Ballroom organ experience and might take out the recording bit was well.
