Meet Legendary MSG Organist who has performed more than Billy Joel

"Who do you has played more sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden than any other person?
Most would guess Billy Joel, or perhaps Bruce Springsteen. Both good guesses, but both are wrong-and the true answer may surprise you.
Meet Ray Castoldi, Madison Square Garden’s official organist who has been playing sold-out shows and sporting events at NYC’s most legendary events venue since 1989. Known as the 'Phantom of the Garden’, he sits high above the crowd and behind the scenes, but he doesn’t mind.
To him, the energy of the crowd and the passion for what he does is all he needs. "

The 90s Knicks organ just hit different

This guy put out some classic house records in the early 90s.

Ray is clearly such a great guy and he even made the NHL's favorite song! pretty sure he sounds the goal horn as well

I freaking love the 1995-current Rangers Goal song he created, "Slapshot". Greetings from Southern NJ, watching y'all on WPVI 6ABC of Philadelphia! Best station in the nation.

That interviewer weird as hell

[@nxtchpforme9154]

He has a mask sitting in the rafters by himself. Money but no fame. Best gig...fame does not equal money.
