I'm a musician living in Los Angeles, and on this channel you get to hear a variety of musical styles. On the composing side, I've got original pieces here, as well as my take on existing music from other composers. As an instrumentalist, I specialize in the piano and pipe organ, but you'll quickly see there are others I play! Have a look around, and I hope you enjoy what you hear!
Sampling the Past and Looking to the Future
In this episode the three amigos discuss the exciting evolution of the organ and new directions including sampling, drum machines, and the modern alternative to the musical briefcase!

Taken from a humorous "Spontaneous Sunday" Livestream back in April 2024, this is my second (much lighter!) tribute for Richard Sherman (1928-2024) on the week of his death. He and his brother, Robert, were musical giants, and a musical inspiration to us all from our childhood onward, and I'm so grateful we have their wonderful music that lives on within us all. This is perhaps their most well-...
"Feed the Birds" (Mary Poppins) | Pipe Organ Cover

An improvised arrangement of the late Richard Sherman and his brother Robert's song, Feed the Birds, from the 1964 Disney classic, "Mary Poppins." This was recorded in January of 2024 in Galway Cathedral, Galway, Ireland, and serves as my tribute to Richard Sherman, one of the first musical legends I met after moving to Los Angeles in 2016. #disney #marypoppins #pipeorgan Subscribe to my channe...
FINALLY, a new chapter in virtual pipe organ demos.

If you are a Hauptwerk virtual pipe organ user, you know it's an expensive rabbit hole fueled by our desire to bring the pipe organ out of the church and concert hall, and access it from the comfort of your home (or really anywhere!). Before you buy an instrument, however, it's smart to do your research, so you watch a demo or a video review to know what you're investing in. And it's at this mo...

Thanks, Aaron for an amazing program, past, future and present! We are in the present because your music is such a gift 🎁😃
wonderful
Love this, Aaron! So heartfelt and moving - a fitting tribute to an awesome musician and songwriter!
Such an awesome stream! 😎😎😎😎😎 And now I know my first jazz chord too!!!
Tip-jar trip taken and time tip left 😁😁
I was not familiar with Time in a Bottle....now I am and wow, it was lovely. Thank you for adding it to my 'musical mental menagerie' 😁
It's probably my favorite Croce song. Glad to have introduced it to you!
@@aaronshows Thanks Aaron. I was totally blown away by If I Could Turn Back Time at the end. Magnificent!
What a timely stream - not a minute too late! Time flies when you're having fun, but your concert launched it into hyperspace!! 🚀
Nice on a Sunday
Come Lord Jesus,come
Herzliche glückwunsch zu diesem Spiel. Leider sind die Pedale recht laut da haben die anderen Kommentartoten recht. Wenn du weiter so gut spielst wirst du einmal eine ganz große kirchenmusikerin. Rasmus aus Schweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🎹🎹🎹🎹💓
Tip jar trip made😄. When is a door not a door - when it's a jar 4 Aaron !! 😂
Loved it
Thanks, Jez!!
Aha! A couple of Police sings were hidden inside Barry Manilow.
Ha ha ha - I’m one of those hiding away but listening with gusto!
I just hope that more young people will take up the organ to allow those churches with pipe organs to continue to be played. I grew up in a UCC church in downtown Indy. We had the same organist from my birth 1947 until after I entered the Air Force in 1966. In 1959 , myself and 27 other 12 yr Olds were confirmed at Easter. We had to pick a hymn. We picked "A mighty fortress is our god." The organ was large. When we got to the last verse, Mallory had the organ tall out. It was great
Love this channel - good to work to. Also, an interesting fact on the organ at Hereford - I visited the cathedral many years ago. The organ was restored in 1972 with funds from the local Bulmer company (makers of Woodpecker Cider) in whose honour a wooden woodpecker was sculpted on the side of the organ case.
This is a fantastic anecdote! I definitely enjoyed some Bulmer's cider when I was there
Very nice. Thanks for sharing, Aaron
The very last chord of this amazing stream sounded like Telegraph Road (Dire Straits) and I was like oooooh another one coming? But amazing work as always. Thank you so much <3
I actually don't know Telegraph Road, but I just went and checked it out, and wow! It's now on the list for the next time we visit the "Roads" theme. Thanks for introducing me to an unfamiliar song -- I love expanding my internal repertoire database!
@@aaronshows Yeah that's one of my favorites by Dire Straits - such a "deep" song with lots of feelings - thinking - a real storyline. Looking forward to this! I thinks it's also a "piano" candidate, but who knows - I also would have never imagined that Beach Boys on the organ would be an absolutely perfect fit!
I love praying the novena as I listen to this. I feel that it brings me closer to Jesus. I can't wait for him to answer my prayers. Stay in faith, my brothers & sisters in Christ.🙏🏼💒✝️
Wonderful concert Aaron! We are listening to a replay in the car as we head back towards WV and beyond.

I can’t believe that you guys didn’t even mention the extensive and significant contributions of the Allen Organ Company to digital music! Why do you think that their first instrument is in the Smithsonian Museum? Major oversight.
True! The podcast format is more of a conversation rather than a lecture, but I'm glad you know about the Allen contributions -- definitely a vital part of organ history!
Beautiful 🙏🏻
This comfortable and solemn music is a breath of fresh air in our life ofless than 100 years in this trasient world of so much hassle and annoyances
This Comfort and solemnity is immeasurable profound, and off the charts
Absolutely amazing work! Thank you so much - enjoyed it so, so much - made my day - too bad I couldn't make it to the live stream! The Beach Boys medley was awesome <3
Thank you!!!
I just discovered these videos - so perfect for my morning and evening devotions. Thank you for this blessing!
This is absolutely lovely!!!
Well that certainly did work! What a brilliant combination of Vivaldi/Summer and Gershwin/Summertime. Bravo. Enjoyed it tremendously 😍
Just Amazing!!!! Nothing beats a real organ! Enjoyed it for my commute to work!
A mélange of Vivaldi and Gershwin to start, how did you do that ? Summer and Summertime, a great treat. Now I have to listen to the rest.
Thanks for an absolutely fabulous program!!! So much sunshine here! The best part of the weekend!!!!
Thank you for sharing! Very nice!
Bellísimo!!! Sublime!!!
Healing frequencies.. fell into a deep sleep which was appreciated. Wonderful sounds.
I’m a little late to this concert …. Heavy LA traffic tonight…. Better late than never 😂. Enjoying every song so far 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing, fantastic piece. The composer ingeniously puts commonplace, trivial panels together and turns them into a great composition. This is what Boelmann failed to do in the last movement of the Gothic suite.

#HauptwerkDrumMachine - one of the many amazing first and hits in this lineup! Non stop amazing music!
We will actually get to see some spontaneous combustion?
I'm not sure. If I knew, and told you, then it wouldn't be truly spontaneous!
That was truly wonderful Aaron and a very fitting tribute to the occasion of the 80th Anniversary and Commemoration of the Normany Landings. Those Veterans are unlikely to see a similar event. I listened to it again this morning and perhaps, as suggested 😊, you should release it as a separate video and tribute. ATB ❤
Your music just keeps getting better and better!! 🔥✝🙏🏻Thanks so much Aaron!!
This is balm for the soul and will be returning for repeat dosings. It’s thrilling to remember these are your photos, and then your music, played on the set of air vibration recordings made in those hallowed spaces. Mind expanding in the best possible way.
What a truly fantastic concert. Thank you for your creativity, your music, your heart! This one was really special!!!!!

Thank you Aaron. I really enjoyed it. 🎹🎼
That was a refreshing time. And, you gave me an idea. Thanks, Aaron. - Russ Litchfield
Thanks, Russ! Hope you're doing well
I'd love to join you! I have references... ;-)
They don't make buildings like they did in the past anymore. Today everything needs to be bold, and brash, and unique on a macroliminal scale, and convention breaking and all those tiny gargoyles and ridges and small enterances and glorious opalizing stained glass windows are not there. We have dull stacks of geometric figures boring holes in the landscape with agressive and noisy colors and clashing figures and this heavy focus on embelishing individual parts of the buildings instead of the whole. I lived for quite some time in a small mediterranean town which hosted an array of old buildings, particularly from the 1800's and some old breweries from 1600's and even still, even mere 200 years ago, the architecture was way batter than that which we got after world wars when the Bauhaus was introduced, when the buildings became so twisted by the need to mash as much people in them in order to bloat the economy by incentivizing fake populus growth. I miss the old world so much you would not believe, dear reader.
Whatever you started playing at 16:00 was one of the best things I've ever heard come from an organ. Your review/history was hilarious too. Keep up the good work
Much appreciated! Yeah, pipe organs rarely get played this way... Haha!
