Dare I say: "Not just another pretty face..." Mark is a true spokesperson (yes, including his professional console demeanor and communication with his audiences) for our art form. His vivid and fresh arrangements are never contrived and show a spirit of enthusiasm and respect for every composition he puts before us. Mark, I join thousands of other listeners in thanking you for enriching our ears and our hearts in 2020. Lay it on again in 2021; we are the folks "out there in the dark" whom you have so richly blessed.
VERY well spoken! I concur. I would LOVE to get my hands on that amazing musical giant!
Superb performance by the very talented Mark Herman
Playing some of the most loved music of our time 🤪
It is nice to see a young artist keeping the vintage music and instrument alive. Thank you.
Thank you!! And Happy New Year to whomever reading this!!
Wow!! What an absolutely gorgeous place!!! And thank God you played a Christmas song! Thank you!
So very glad I came across this. 😁👍🥳🎉
Another great show from Mark. You can always hear the true melody of these wonderful tunes. A true theatre organ ambassador.
This organ needs to be recorded on CD
Dear Mark you have made a world for us to delight in- so many thanks! Robin
Happy New Year for a great dreams at Old Town.
Nice!
Happy New Year!!!
tears of joy, respect & admiration.
Lovely as always. Old Town Music Hall is a gem and treasure. Thank you.
I wasn't familiar with this venue. Thanks! This would be a perfect venue for Simon Gledhill and Richard Hills and their wonderful piano/organ duets.
Thank you for a lovely performance and some great selections!
So lovely to be there in spirit. Thank you for another wonderful New Year' Eve at the Old Town Music Hall n
WOW! Go Mark!! Wonderful!
So nice and just what we needed this New Year's Eve. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful, the playing, the instrument, the place. What a gem!
Thank you for yet another fantastic performance! We love the OTMH!!!
Gonna drop a donation. Thanks for being different.
What a performance, many thanks, the arrangements are stunning.
Well done!
Lovely Wurlitzer immaculately played by Mark Herman
Super excellent with very good interesting video
Mark, both you and the OTMHW sound wonderful! Give my love to Bill F.
Mark, how wonderful to hear music of the 20's and 30's played with so much warmth and color. Our ears are constantly refreshed by your kaleidoscopic, imaginative registrations. You have a wonderful gift. If you haven't already, could you play "Let's Face the Music and Dance". It's in one of the most elegant scenes ever from a Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire movie. Many thanks.

Mark is a stellar musician. The music and its phrases come first. They are embellished by his orchestration. They don't suffer from pyrotechnical displays requiring chopped phrases and herniated rhythm. Perhaps a lot of this stems from him being a composer and orchestrator. Mark, thank you for sharing your talents with us. Happy New Year! May it be so much better than last year!
Thanks for uploading this video, it's a great showcase for the organ and venue. I live in Great Britain and have only visited El Segundo on business trips, so have never been able to visit the Old Town Music Hall in person. Mark really shows off the qualities of the Wurlitzer with his melodic playing and his counter-melodies put me in mind of the great George Wright. I especially enjoyed his rendition of Sleigh Ride with the Auto Horn horse imitation at the end. Thanks also for leaving the trumpet cipher in the recording, it certainly added to the concert feel of the video! This is a nice installation and I like the way the traps are on display. I believe this 4 manual Wurlitzer organ now has 26 ranks of pipes and is based on Opus 1002, a Style 235 (3/11) Wurlitzer originally installed in the Fox West Coast Theatre, Long Beach, CA in 1925.
Loved the performance and the cipher was dealt with so well 😁
Great performance Mark, you had me tapping my toes to Baby Face and rocking back and forth to It Had To Be You. Just love your way of playing and wishing you a wonderful 2021, Thanks so much and keep up the good talent!!
Fabulous job! Loved it!
A terrific organist and splendid instrument/venue. But then, with his abilities, Mark would sound great on a kazoo!!
As we bid adieu to 2020, let's forget or forgive any unwelcome changes of the past 365 days and expect only good in the new year.
A total delight from start to finish! The piano/organ duet on "Top Hat" especially delightful, the subtle manner the organ began to slip into the sound is great fun! Happy New Year! The organ is in superb shape, and Mr. Herman truly is its master!
I needed this
Mark, Truly Absolutely Brilliant very Best Wishes for 2021 Pete Stirzaker UK.
You are quickly becoming my fave theater organist!! This is just great!! I play sax in a jazz ensemble and love these jazz charts!!!!!
Marvellous :)
First found you just before Christmas and certainly glad I did. Splendid job on this presentation. I wish you a wonderful 2021. Be safe and stay well.
Parabéns! Você é fantástico!!!! Bravo!!!
Great job Mark!
Ah,Ive just looked in the Wurlitzer book and the West Coast Long Beach Wurlitzer Opus 1002 was a 3-11 from the 21st February 1925.So its been doubled in size.Not that it matters as it looks and sounds wonderful.
The 4 manual console came from the L.A. Paramount, formerly the Metropolitan Theatre. The only 4 manual WurliTzer in the L.A. area.
I'd like to borrow a quote left by "Nicholas" on an album from Takashi Kokubo posted online (also on UA-cam):
"I feel like this was created by a man who had no ego. Someone who genuinely wanted to serve others and bring them to a state of calmness through his art. Listening to this album felt like the artist made it specifically for me. He wasn't trying to impress with his technical skill (even though its obviously there) rather he used his ability to serve the purpose of making something extremely enjoyable to the listener. I aspire to create something like this one day."
Yes another fantastic offering from Mark.Who was the pianist on the Top Hat White Tie?The organ sounds wonderful and as it was new in 1925 for the Fox West Coast Theatre its earlyish Tibias are Georgeous!It appears the console is not original but from the Metropolitan/Paramount Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.So maybe the original organ was a smaller organ that was augmented?
Will we get to see movies soon....theaters are opening up
Where is this place? Absolute brilliant performance. Definately someone here who knows how to play this organ.
Didn't CBS do a story on this last week?
Old Town Music has been interviewed many times. especially with original owner Bill Fields. he passed may 2020
Fantastic! Deft handling of the pesky ciphers at around 20:20, too! Curious what player system is installed on the Bösendorfer - is it an SE?
Theater Closed Until Further Notice
