Organ Celebrities-HAROLD & CHARLES SMART. 11.mpg

Yet another instance where the record company got it wrong, either by choice of genuine error. Additionally, a rare 78rpm disc where Harold & Charles play a delightful theatre/electronic organ duet.

At 3:00 it shows the Thomas Trianon model. I've never seen a spinet Thomas Trianon. There were actually two production of the Trianan with the second clearly being a theater organ. This was produced in the mid 70's where as the first was produced in around 1970. What was that first Trianon about? I know it was a transistor divider organ. Was is offered in different cabinets. The one in this video looks more like a rocker tab spinet.

@paulj0557 Regret cannot comment on the tech specs of those models. I used the shots that were available on the recordings.

For the curious the first tune played (thru about 2:20) is "Butterflies in the Rain".

Remiss of me not to give the tune title, but yes, a delightful little novelty number written by Sherman Myers: a pen name for Composer Montegue Ewing.

Has anyone uploaded any of his Thomas records ( the three with the Victorian lady)? I've heard the other two.

I've uploaded Harry Wach and he is a mystery of all mysteries, but oh' my could he tare up a Thomas Californian 262. Plays all standards and pop tunes of the day. I uploaded the entire album in two parts, as well as a track going out to the people of Fairfield, Ct USA where he lived. I didn't post album cover & back ( camera problem recently), however I did copy all text & posted it.
