Sounds like Bob Milne has two brains, or perhaps he’s using left and right side for the same purpose. He’d certainly give so-called AI a run for its money. Remarkable. Well done with the harmonica and guitar. I’ve seen it done but not tried it myself, mainly because I’m abysmal with a guitar. 🤣

Actually with Theatre Pipe organs (as opposed to trackers) the key press to pipe speaking is almost instantaneous except with some bass pipes which are naturally a bit slow - it takes some time for sound to travel the length of a 16’ or (worse) 32’ pipe, or if a particular magnet is a bit reluct

Thanks for the kind words David. I too like Ragtime, especially Joplin. You have some great Theatre Organists in the USA. If you fancy a good concert sometime, keep an eye out for Dave Wickerham, Walt Strony and Clark Wilson. There are many more, but I’ve used enough bandwidth already. 🙂 C’mon

Yeah sight reading too, but it can be a pain. Unless the score is written for Theatre Organ i.e. with 3 staves - the bottom one being the bass line, with only 2 staves (such as a piano score) the pedal work does have to be improvised, whilst sight reading (usually) chords and melody. Sounds like

I don’t consider myself anywhere near up there with the best, but what you describe is not unusual amongst Theatre Pipe organists. I’m not sure if it’s something we’re born with or whether it’s learned, mainly by practice. The organist will often be playing 2 manuals (keyboards) at the same time

Great. Years ago I knew a keyboard player Skip Van Winkle. Saw him play many times with Dallas Hodge & some of the Tower of Power guys, plus a host of other incredible players. Besides being quite a character, he would play rhythm & lead parts on a B3 and kick great bass lines with both feet. An

I'm one of those people with music constantly playing in my head, and I do occasionally end up hearing either two pieces or two different parts of the same piece running concurrently. It's totally in the background -- the music just plays along pretty much no matter what I'm doing, like
