What a great performance. If you weren't smiling and happy after a ride on that train there's something wrong with you. Thanks as always for entertaining us and sharing your talent.
I remember in 1974, when i was 8, I had my latest Boots Audio Transistor radio and used to listen to theatre organ music every Sunday morning. Loved organs ever since !
Hah hah, love this!! You must have really had your mains turned up! I could see the camera jumping on a good portion of notes.🤣 That's the way to do it when you have the amp and the speakers that will handle it.. make the windows rattle, LOL!!😁🎵🎶🎵👍👍 P.S. Looking forward to the new software, and some rockin' B3 action! 🤘😎🤘
Thing is with those Boogie-Woogie mid sections: How do you progress the tune - could never end ... This was beyond enjoyable - loved the concluding gestures...
Former curator at the UK National Railway Museum and steam locomotive driver here. What an excellent representation. Maybe you hadn't realised that your introduction perfectly imitates a three-cylinder steam locomotive. Yes, different types of steam locomotive have their own time-signature pattern of chuffs. The very best (no offence) example of steam locomotive heroics is Mulet's "Tu es Petra." A distant steam locomotive tackles a steep gradient getting closer and closer until, at next to no speed, it triumphantly crests the summit right next to us. My imagination; nothing to do with Mulet.
Thanks for your fascinating comment! Who’d have thought I could get it right like that. Now I have something I can boast about - “bet you can’t imitate a three-cylinder…!” I shall save that one for a rainy day. As for the Mulet - that’s pure silent film music - damsel tied to the tracks stuff!
The end comment regarding "Tu es Petra" sounds like the plot to a very old children's book "The Little Engine That Could" climbing a steep grade: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ... ." Far out Fraser - that was a fun piece.
F A B U L O U S ! What a brilliant improvisation, Fraser! And September looks like it will be providing more than an 'Indian Summer' with all the sunshine you'll be spreading this month on your channel! Title? Tricky. I've seen some good suggestions already posted. Well, Glenn Miller gave us his wonderful "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and with this improvisation, you seem to have given us the "Frazzagrazzanooga Choo Choo"! That's the best I can come up with . . . sorry!
Great videos. I love the pipe organ. As a guitar player…..can’tplay the keyboard, I purchased Roland synth so I could get the organ sound….love it. My favorite piece is Schubert’s Ave Maria. Thank you . Les
Woooow, I look forward to the Hauptwerk Hammond organ. I do have two Hammonds (a modest P-100S from 1972 - which is basically a portable L-100 - with a modest Solton Leslie speaker, it sounds fine but it's not a roaring full size console model) and a custom XK-3 system inside a B-3 cabinet. I also played a lot through Hammond emulation software (B4, B4II, VB-3) and none of it satisfied me. There is a complexity to the real thing, the dynamic key and release click, that metallic shimmer and breathy tonewheel leakage, the tonewheel voice sharing, the random wobble of the tone wheels, the old preamp circuits.... and I didn't even talk about the Leslie speaker. The theatre organ sounds fantastic! I trust that Hauptwerk did extensive R&D, as they always do, before launching a Hammond simulation. Now you need waterfall keys to do all these smooth palm wipes and glissandos. :D
I only watch this channel and one other (Richard McVeighs) They are both very different, but both very imformative, especially to a "non organ player" like me
Nice one, Fraser. Looking forward to the Hammond video. I remember visiting a church in Edinburgh with you years ago that had a Hammond organ - for the life of me, I can't remember which church it was (was it at Holy Corner?) Maybe you could jog my memory.
That’s going back a bit - must have been 91 or thereabouts. It was my old parish - St Michael’s and All Saints. Wonderful, over-the-top Anglican bells and smells! The Hammond was sold and replaced with a rather nice pipe affair form Scarborough during my time there. Should have kept the Hammond myself - it was an RT-3 with twin speaker cabinets. Sadly no Leslies… still…
@@FraserGartshore I had to look that up, I haven't seen that musical film for about 40 years. It's quite reminiscent of the Farmer and the Cowhand should be Friends, from Oklahoma
Now I have to come with a name, as train fanatic... - thinks about these American people coming to Switzerland, boarding the (electric) train and telling their children "looooook, we're going on the choo choo! - uhm... not coming further then "The Fraser Express", need to ask my fellow organ playing train fanatic. And you're going to challenge my A-100? ;-)
Fun, fun, fun. Loving the Morton and a great improvisation to show it off. Schön! What is that blue and white car in the background at your neighbours? Looks like a Trabant or similar.
There is lots of music dedicated to the great age of steam such as The Coronation Scot (Paul Temple theme) for the London Midlands and Scottish so, how about supporting the opposition the LNER and call it The Silver Jubilee Boogie.

“The Gartshore Express” does it for me. Fantastic, loved every minute if it.
What a great performance. If you weren't smiling and happy after a ride on that train there's something wrong with you. Thanks as always for entertaining us and sharing your talent.
“Give Me that Old Choo Choo Train” by Gartshore
Absolutely fantastic!!!!
I could not keep my feet still during the entire piece! Thank you, sir, for another amazing video.
'Gartshore Green Express' - no pollution😅! Excellent👌🏻
Brilliant Fraser - I love the “Gartshore Express!”
I remember in 1974, when i was 8, I had my latest Boots Audio Transistor radio and used to listen to theatre organ music every Sunday morning. Loved organs ever since !
Hammond organ, looking forward to that one as a hammond owner… cheers!
What a treat!! Your enthusiasm here is infectious in all the best ways!!! I can’t wait to follow your shenanigans this month!! So much fun!!!!!!
Shenanigans - I like that - how about "Choo Choo Shenanigans" as a title?!
Hi Fraser, the organ sounds fantastic, love your videos. Thanks for sharing your talent and expertise.
How about "Really Chuffed". Thoroughy enjoyed it. Thank you.
I like that!
I love the cinema organ! The shaky camera is the cherry on top, it makes it feel like a old film!
do the steam engine sound then transition to "Chattanooga Choo Choo."" WOW!
Really loving the theatre organ. Looking forward to the Hammond and other new organs as well. Cheers.

Ooh the manual crossing
Loved it, reminded me of Richard Hills playing Tiger Rag, thanks, looking forward to the new content with interest.
Totally unrelated, but I wonder if you could ever record the Virgil Fox arrangement of Komm Süßer Tod sometime? I would love to hear it.
WONDERFUL !!

Westerwald Choo Choo?
Finally all 4 manuals in use :)
Wow we ,that's awesome 👌👏 !!
How about "There goes the Flying Scottsman," one of the most famous passenger trains from the 20's.
F A N T A S T I C
Time you were trying out a spot of Theater Organ music old chum!
@@FraserGartshore I’ll try my best.
How about a slow, dirgelike second movement called `Replacement Bus Service` ?
Hahaha!
Great videos. I love the pipe organ. As a guitar player…..can’tplay the keyboard, I purchased Roland synth so I could get the organ sound….love it. My favorite piece is Schubert’s Ave Maria. Thank you . Les
"look at me, I'm a train!"
A chooka-train?!
Choo choo blues!

Add sound effects of the train slowing into the station as the tune rolls to a close.
Love this peice, especially the glockenspiel sounds mixed in on the third tier (counting upwards)
what is that car outside your window? looks like mini or trabant
“All Aboard the Gartshore Steamer!”
Looking forward to more Fraser!
Love it
Bravo

@@FraserGartshore Near Tollcross? Now that I know Edinburgh like the back of my hand, it's odd that I can't remember places I visited there years ago.
The start made me wonder how Scott Joplin’s Great Crush Collision could transcribed.
The Station! the Train! And the track.
Choo Chooing Around
The farmers are out? That's inspiration to play a concert from Hammers and Rogerstein Oklahoma
Or maybe the Barn Dance from 7 Brides for 7 Brothers!
@@FraserGartshore I had to look that up, I haven't seen that musical film for about 40 years. It's quite reminiscent of the Farmer and the Cowhand should be Friends, from Oklahoma
How about my away day train
Thanks for all the time you put into our enjoyment. Without wishing to be too personal, does your dog need to go on longer walks?
😱
Add choo choo as required
I’m thinking about “Rolling Down The Pipe” (a twist of the phrase Rolling Down The Pike).
How about.... the Reed and Flue Choo Choo??
Now I have to come with a name, as train fanatic... - thinks about these American people coming to Switzerland, boarding the (electric) train and telling their children "looooook, we're going on the choo choo! - uhm... not coming further then "The Fraser Express", need to ask my fellow organ playing train fanatic.
And you're going to challenge my A-100? ;-)
if you ever decide to transcribe this piece, like you did with Prelude in D, a good name imo could be "Gart's Express"
Fun, fun, fun. Loving the Morton and a great improvisation to show it off. Schön!
What is that blue and white car in the background at your neighbours? Looks like a Trabant or similar.
Hi Simon - yep, it's an old Trabi currently being fully restored to its former, erm, glory...
@@FraserGartshore Like it. Interesting neighbours. Tractors and Trabants. Sounds like the name for a tune...
How about "All aboard".
How about... "The Reed and Flue Choo Choo"
Have you been inspired by the Big Boy tour?
J.A.Z.Z. Bach's "Weimar Jail-break Express"
THEATER, Mr Gartshore? More American Imperialism?
Well, it IS the Robert Morton Wonder Organ I’m playing!
@@FraserGartshore I had a feeling that's what was behind it :-) Perhaps a Crompton next time?
It's kind of a train wreck... A suggestion for a name for the piece that is, not a comment on your playing 😉😬

Mushroom hands according to stormy.
