👍 👍! Theater organs have the whistles and bells a traditional pipe organ doesn’t, but both are incredible instruments to master and enjoy- such versatility.
FYI, the music was composed by the legendary Sherman Brothers (Robert and Richard), Richard died last week and Robert died a while ago. They also composed iconic Disney themes like Mary Poppins, Jungle Book, as well as "It's A Small World".
That the piano is _part of_ the organ (just like the other subinstruments are)! Yeah, it's highly fascinating, isn't it? I find especially fascinating when you can go into the back spaces of a theater with one of these and a piano (upright) is stuffed up there where you can't even see it! Like... Wow, how did they crane it into there with all the other stuff? Did it go in before the rest of the building was built, and would you have to disassemble it if it needed to be replaced?
@@Tadfafty: Oh, thanks for completing your thought and thus making sense now. You might like to edit what you just said to your main comment (and then of course I would delete my reply because it would become obsolete after that).
@@Tadfafty: I see that you've edited your OP of this thread like I suggested. That's nice! (Now that you've done the edit we should probably delete our old replies since they don't apply anymore, so as to avoid confusing future readers.) As for just giving yourself timestamps, I guess that's kind of an interesting idea too, because even though on a very popular video our comments will get buried pretty quickly by new ones when viewed in Newest First mode, they don't tend to be buried when viewed by our own account in Top Comments mode.

That's the first time I ever heard the "bird song" stop on an organ. But then, it's basically an enhanced Wurlitzer, which (even without enhancement) implies it could do damned near anything already.
My dad was a Pipe organ builder in NYC. I really miss him a lot. This brings back so many memories.
THRILLING! So lovely . …. … Thank you so so much!

Nice tour-de-force. Really shows off this instrument.
Amazing, what talent and hats off to all those who keep that Organ working behind the scenes.
I LOVE it when the organ plays the piano too - I don’t know why it fascinates me so much!

I love/hate that Dave can trill with his left thumb. (When I try that, I have the equivalent of a limp!!) Excellent job - to everyone involved here!
Wow! A little bit of everything.
Wonderful. Thanks again for the fabulous performance at my wife celebration of life at Blackwood Estate. Many will never forget, I'll remember You.
Fantastic!
Sweet!
Woww, that's AMAZING! Beautiful work!
Wonderful playing, beautiful organ! Thanks.
This is amazing! Well done! And. 7:28 for the butt shot. Lol
Amazingly imaginative -- registrations, counter melodies, pedal lines, all kinds of things!
I ❤ that schmaltzy tremulant.
Should call it "A Motoring Medley"
Loved it❤❤
reminds me of the Organ Grinder up in Portland back in the 80's and 90s
Delightful!
Awesome!
Marvelous thanks for showing you playing your just outstanding I'm lost for words ❤
Mostly “My Merry Oldsmobile” and “You’ve Got to Get Out and Get Under”.
"Bicycle Built for Two?"
Wow!
Dave wickerman je speelt grandioos mooi, de sterren van de hemel, schitterend zeg, beautyfull.

@@HelloKittyFanMan I don't see a sense in deleting.
Wow. The whole orchestra from one man.
Should be called the Automobile Medley come to think of it.
What's the name of the first song he played? I can't find it anywhere.
In My Merry Oldsmobile

Nothing like the sound of a Organ
Nice 7:28
I was impressed by the piano's stop: a real Steinway.
9-foot concert grand
