   Quite a complex chord there. I know enough to say that; but I don’t know what it is.

   Ralph is * …
   Ralph is *outstanding.* He can coax that organ to do amazingly emotional things. His playing is sweet beyond words. This music *defines* the instrument called the theatre organ.

   At exactly 7 minutes and 3 seconds Ralph hits a chord that just brings all my emotions to the surface. You gotta be good to do that and he is very good.

   I`m here again! I find that I am so transported by Ralph`s playing that I don`t even notice our mystery “head”, the poor chap only wanted to see Ralph`s fingerwork a bit better and who can blame him for that?

   I love this song – …
   I love this song – - beautifully played here especially in the low register at times. I think the man who keeps popping up in the picture on left doesn’t realize he’s in the line of sight – - think he’s trying to sneak a peek aroun the console to see more of the organist playing the keyboards and pedal. ‘Course would have been nice if someone had just nicely tugged him back out of the way. Love this organ and the marvelous acoustics of the theater. Great!

    What a wonderful performance, I was moved to the very edge of tears by the beautiful way that this little medley was played and by the gorgeous sounds of this lovely organ. I`ll be back!

    The song is name “So in Love” by Cole Porter. I think it was in the musical “Kiss Me Kate”

    This is one cool …
    This is one cool looking and sounding multi-keyboard instrument. It looks like a wedding cake nightmare, something that Tim Burton would conceive of and put into one of his movies but does sound good even though I have no idea what the man is playing.

    Who’s that anoying guy on the left that keeps poking his head in front of the camera anyway? Why does he keep doing that?!
