Wurlitzer Organ: Tremulant Vibrato Nanny Goat Sound Hated By Purist Farts [Doc Pt. 2]

Since I posted that last organ video, I received some requests to put up more of this program. The first part showcased the organists. This video continues with additional discussion devoted to the history and mechanics of the organ as well as a few tours of organs installed in homes. It would be interesting to know if these installations still exist.

Wurlitzer Organ: When You're Smiling [Doc Pt. 1]

I found this among my dusty collection of films and videos. It was recorded over 20 years ago so please excuse the quality. There are some nice performances on organs around England and many great scenes from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom featuring a few famous organists from the past. I also posted Part Two which continues the story:

Big Tiny Little: Maple Leaf Rag [Lawrence Welk]

This is a clip from my 16mm kinescope collection of Lawrence Welk films. Big Tiny Little performing Maple Leaf Rag. Tiny Little was the ragtime piano player on the Welk show from 1955-1959 before Jo Ann Castle made her debut in 1959. This program aired on October 17, 1957.

Ethel Smith: 'The Breeze and I'

This was on a 16mm film. The sound and picture were recorded separately since the projector was quite noisy. It was difficult to keep in sync plus the film had a bit of warpage so the sound is not that great either. It's part of a Castle Films short which starred Desi Arnaz who doesn't appear here, but that's another show. I just wanted to feature Ethel Smith since it's rare that you ever see one of the early great organists on film.

The Lawrence Welk Show: I Get A Kick Out Of You [Jerry Burke (1955)]

Most people watching the Welk show mainly associate his organist with Bob Ralston. Long before Bob joined the Welk show, Jerry Burke tickled the keys of a tone wheel Hammond. Jerry made several reunion appearances on the show during Ralston's tenure and passed away unexpectedly decades ago.
