    By any standards this is a great performance and a great video but, am I correct in thinking that the Fox Wurlitzer is still playing on its original pneumatic relays and wiring? If that's so then I'm even more impressed.

    Boy, was some STELAR playing! Justin, you made that thing rock! I got to play the St. Louis Fox a few months ago. The Fox Special organs will do just about anything you ask them too. It's really something incredible, when you get to an instrument of that size, you don't play it, IT PLAYS YOU!! There's so much tonal variety and color there you almost don't know what to do with it all! Again, lovely playing!
