My grandfather, was a silent movie 🎥 player at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles. He loved playing ragtime piano as well.
Absolutely.. keep playing the older songs.. they don't write them like that any more!! Great concert.
That house is a keyboardist's dream!
Thank you for sharing, wonderful to experience!
86 years young . The wife and I ioved to roller skate at the Hub in Chicago😂 while Leon Berry played the Pipe Organ.
Wonderful sounds, even the squeak of door!
I just absolutely love your videos. It is perfect your dressed up, that you show this beautiful home and that you are playing from this wonderful Organ When I was a child this is the music I would hear at the Oaks Park skating rink. It was wonderful. There was a restaurant that is no longer there called the Organ Grinder. This is the music that was played there as well. 50 years ago. Your music is wonderful, thanks for sharing this GREAT video
Wow
Mark, you are an awesome performer! I am just overwhelmed by your "almost reverent" treatment of the great songs of our grandparents and great-grandparents.
Don't ever change! It is theatre organists like yourself, Jelani Eddington and a few others, who not only preserve theatre pipe organs, but the music from the 1920s and 1930s for which this instrument was designed to reproduce. Your arrangements of music from the pens of such composers as Duke Ellington and Johnny Mercer serve to show how the theatre pipe organ can adapt itself to almost any genre.
Years ago (too many!), when I was a member of the ATOS chapter Pike's Peak Area Theatre Organ Society (PPATOS), I occasionally had the opportunity to play the chapter's two organs, a Wurlitzer Style 260 3/14 expanded to 20 ranks, and an original Wurlitzer Style E3M 3/8 with its original specification (and occasionally an Austin 4/60 in a local Lutheran church). I was never all that great (certainly not pro caliber, anyway!), but I did enjoy playing just the same. I don't know if PPATOS still exists. I live in Florida now, and there are NO theatre organ chapters anywhere near where I live. Bummer. 😕
Mark, please "keep on keeping on!" I love the old music and I love how you faithfully preserve and recreate it. I hope to continue hearing you "preen the pipes" and "tickle the tremolos" for many years to come! 😃👍
Oh my! That home is MAGNIFICENT! Absolutely amazing. I love it!
Great recording. Wonderful playing. Beautiful organ, house and so many grand pianos (jealous!). I loved the piano intro too.
Love your choice of music. Don’t change. I am always amazed at your sense of rhythm. You are supremely gifted - from one musician to another one!!
Hello Mark from Brisbane Australia, I’m a member of TOSA (Qld)- where you were once our special guest artist on our 1937 Christie!
I am enthralled every time I hear you play. The intricacies of your lush chordal harmonies, the detailed and gorgeous countermelodies (within countermelodies!) and your complete command of each and every keyboard, two with one hand at times; keeps me amazed and very interested in what you’ll come up with next.
Mark do you do any arranging for orchestras? If so it’d be very interesting how well your excellent musical mind would bring new styles and freshness in that genre.
Keep up the fantastic work Mark. Barry Moore
Thrilling and Thank you Dallas Texas
Great as always, Mark! You bring the Mighty Wurlitzer to spectacular life!!
Brilliant as ever... Good taste, nice sound, you made my day Mark ! That organ as such a nice variety of sounds, the chimes and the bells (likes crotale) are great. The vibes are.. woaw !Thank you so much for your kindless and generosity thru the music concert and you page. I'm a french professional musician, composer, teacher and conductor, I know the harmony and congrats the way you make your arrangements. Well done !
Wonderful as always Mark! Keep doing what you do! 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm trying to place the name of the first song at the start on piano... playing in restaurants back in 2004 to 2006- this style brings back many good memories....Most enjoyed this!
Is the song the Waltz or the intro to it? Don’t recognize the intro ,but the waltz is very familiar . I’m 85 yrs .old, and it will probably hit me in the middle of the night. L.o.l. My mom used to play it all the time. Chris. 🥰
Perfection
Sweeeeet playing Mark! You've got the passion. Excellent recording! Those pipes singing through room adds years to ones life. Just pure bliss. SAVE THE ORGANS 🙂 I find TPO music sounds best through Magnepan Magneplanar speakers. They are a large surface area and low pressure. It's as if it's coming through the shutters. And low pressure also means low ear fatigue, as well as the sound stays more confined to the room. If you go to another room you don't hear it as loud, if at all.
Oh wow I see that Magnepan is making a "Computer desk" size "Mini Maggie System".
Thanks, Mark! I'll never tire of your repertoire, musicianship, and good taste.
Great playing Mark on one of my favorite sounding Wurlitzers.
The music and the sound of these organs put me in such cheesy mood, I love it! Just keep on doing this!
Outstanding!
Absolutely wonderful performance and selections. Great recording sounds very rich and full using Bose headset.
Thank you for a wonderful concert.

Wow what a fabulous home and Wurlitzer. I just love listening to you play, creative and fun as always, oh and your links between arrangements were cool. Thanks Mark 😊
I liked your playing (again). The studio venue has a pleasing amount of presence, which I am sure helps you.
Very enjoyable concert mark. It must be fantastic to be in the same room as the wurlitzer. The power of the music coming from the pipes, large and smalll. They dont call it the mighty Wulitzer for nothing. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Lovely performance...Great Video...
Amazing job, Mark! Your talents are such a gift to hear.
Dude, it really does sound like an orchestra
Excellent playing, but I LOVED the Piano Introduction - what a beautiful sounding Piano - any info on it ? Take care 🙂
Long intro; actual performance of the Wurlitzer @ approx 4:35. The performance is well worth waiting for it.
Hallo Lieber Mark habe Dich jetzt nicht erkannt.Trägst jetzt Brille aber passt sehr gut zu Dir als Organist.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Ich dachte spielt nen anderer Organist.Warst wieder schön aktiv.Mache weiter so.Lg Monika aus Deutschland
Nice little house. Do you have enough pianos¿ The organ is beautiful.
This sounds like a Philly group.
enough money
Honest question: Do houses like that actually exist?
Yes they do. Not many, though, as mucho money is required to buy AND restore. Remodeling to period correct decor also takes a good deal of time even if you can find the craftspeople to do the work. I had the privilege to have known someone (since passed on) in this category. Had a special wing built onto his house to accommodate a smaller theater organ. It was an honor knowing him.
@@garywotherspoon5037 Very interesting. Just a cursory glance at the architecture really reinforces the notion that this interior requires very specialized tradespeople.
Surely, with the setup as it is, the organ has no working swell pedal for the volume.
The organ has several fully functioning expression pedals. What would lead you to believe there weren’t any?
Im pretty sure the rest of the organ is behind the wooden bars grate
It has only few exposed ranks
