[AsburyPark] Organ's Gig Finds It in Fine Voice
In a message dated 8/15/2008 , [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On Thursday evening, I was on a bike ride heading south, and I heard organ music in the distance coming from The Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove. It was one of a series of free concerts there, with a notable guest organist. Several hundred people were in attendence. Very cool. I sat there in awe of the sound and technique required to master such a daunting instrument. Pipe organs continue to have fans around the world, and many of them travel great distances to experience what I did, for free, 5 min away from where I live. What Jack heard:Excerpts from Organ's Centennial Gig Finds It in Fine Voice, 8/24/2008, http://tinyurl.com/5jcnb8 http://tinyurl.com/5jcnb8 : The Great Auditorium organ, among the largest in the world, is at once both massive and fragileIts sound is as distinctive a part of a New Jersey summer as the horn-driven rock 'n' roll that once flourished just across the Wesley Lake footbridge in Asbury Park, Ocean Grove's worldlier neighbor The doors had been slid open to let in the sea breeze, and the music rolled out into the twilight. The sun was setting behind the auditorium, a natural spotlight hitting the stage, focused not on any of the musicians, but instead on the tall golden pipes of the organ. The light climbed as the music ebbed and flowed, until it finally ascended out of sight, and the windows filled with darkness, and the organ played on. from Organ's Centennial Gig Finds It in Fine Voice - NYTimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/24/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/24colnj.htm\ l?adxnnl=1ref=nyregionspecial2adxnnlx=1219493870-zP8X0XaZYXW1gHXha2kg8\ A

A hotel/restaurant/museum on the Stone Pony block would be an absolute score... packed with tourists and music enthusiasts all year round. Yahoo!

Asbury Park's Cavern Club was the Student Prince. Maybe someone should open one that isn't the real Student Prince. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, lightgrw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Although they do go to Liverpool to visit the Cavern Club... which isn't the real Cavern Club. arcman210 wrote: --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com mailto:AsburyPark%40yahoogroups.com, dfsavgny dfsavgny@ wrote: Had lunch at Brickwall.

It was more then that. It was THE place to go when you looked old enough. It's historic as well for many reasons. Like Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Ocean Twp kids. 2 for 1 Rum and cokes, flaming shots...the bayonne girls... lots of good times..kamikzi by the pitchers.. Let's see if Tommy D can come up with the owner / b-tender name. Clover Club before the Saint. My Pontiac Catalina died out there. I tried to put the air filter cover back on at 2 am on the wing nut fell into the carb. I thought it would make it back home to wanamassa. The wing nut found its way down into the engine and seized it up There's another 100 Clover Club stories better Yahoo!

You DO realize that you are now officially known to this group as Wingnut? WN for short. This could have happened to me (and still could!)
