~BRAVO!! -Absolutely fabulous! There's nothing more stimulating to ones aural-senses than the 'Mighty-Wurlitzer Pipe-organ'; -my Grandfather had piano-store on Vermont-Ave. in LosAngeles during 1920's, tuned most of Pipe-organs in the city. Around circa-1980's in PacificBeach Calif, on Garnet-Ave. there was a fantastic huge Pizza/Beer-hall, had a Mighty-Wurlitzer much as one shown here, replete with bird-calls & light-up's in the rafters, astounding keyboardist; glorious time was had by all.!!!

Think I prefer this to the arrangment in (2), altho' slower tempo than usual. Both enjoyable. I can't understand people's prejudice against any good instrument, well-played; or how they can't appreciate the ingenuity and skill which when into creating something with such a broad musical range. Who is playing in this series of uploads, please?

Fabulous record. Truly Unit Orchestra. I listening that and many other records of theatre organs walking down the town. never ceases to amaze.
My Organ teacher hates the WurliTzer.....How can somebody be so closed minded, when faced with a recording like this?????

@bakelitetim Some people just don't like what they don't know very well. In all fairness, the theatre organ DID start out as a glorified sound effects machine, but to continue to treat it as such when it's really much more is a bit silly. Some people are just that way, unfortunately.
