Fantastic organist, great music, wonderful organ in an ideal setting what more could anyone ask for. I play this with my vintage Hi-Fi, closed my eyes and it was just like being there.
Another great concert, Mark! Thank you so much! This was the organ that started my love for theatre organs. It was installed at the Pizza & Pipes in Seattle where my family would often go to enjoy the pizza and music
Anyone know what happened to the instrument that was built and installed at the organ grinder in Toronto? We went there when I was 8 or 9 and got hooked then. When we went back to Niagara Falls years later and we did a day trip to Toronto but it was already gone. Someone told me it was purchased and installed in private home.
FANTASTIC... as always Mark.
Mark's usual super talented excellence in performance and fantastic choice of songs! It's always so good to hear an organist who is clearly putting emphasis on the music rather than technique, even while being superior in the latter department.
Mark, it was a nice surprise to see and listen to your latest performance; Bravo 👏 It’s also great to see the mighty Wurlitzer theatre organs relocated to cool and unusual places!
Thanks!
Fabulous, Mark! What a fantastic treasure you are to me and all theatre organ lovers out there. This Wurlitzer is incredible too!
What a slushy sweetheart of an organ, and in a wonderful room. Thank you for an excellent performance 🙂
Terrific!
Funny coincidence... As I'm listening, I'm playing Scrabble on my phone, and just as you started the Cole Porter medley, the phone's AI played the word TIBIA.
Wonderful performance & wonderful instrument
Beautiful playing as always by Mark ,love the sound of this extremely Mighty Wurlitzer,great by both performers.
Jerry Gould and Greg Smith did a fantastic job rescuing the Greenwood Pizza & Pipes organ and reinstalling & expanding it in Jerry's barn. I never heard the 32' rank that was removed from the barn, but I understand that Mark Herman acquired that gem rank.
So beautiful is Marks 🎶! Don’t want to end
Super job and I ❤it so much thanks Mark.
Hello from North Texas 🙂 Great to hear your music again! I remember your first 'show' at the 2005 ATOS convention. As the saying goes, you've come a long way - and it's fantastic as ever! 🙂
Fred Hermes has one in Racine Wisconsin. He plays silent movies and plays the organ.
Bravo Mark, and I loved hearing "Calcutta" at the start of the video.
Wonderful concert Mark! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Great playing Mark and a great sounding instrument as well.
Encore!!!!!
The horses look at Mark and think.... Who is this city slicker! ;)
About 18 minutes in, I find myself tapping my foot..... Stop that right now! ;o)

I got the impression from part of your talk about the organ that this organ still operates on original relay equipment, correct? From the PSTOS entry about this installation I read: "There is nothing electronic about it, no solid-state, digitized anything. This is completely acoustic!" Is it indeed an original relay it utilizes? Excellent recording. Thank you for sharing it.
Great Program Mark. We just moved the consoles back to BCT so maybe we'll have a play able instrument shortly.
Put On A Happy Face
Another great concert Mark! Loved the Cole Porter segment. I am wondering if in the near future, you would mind playing “Our Love Affair” from the 1957 Academy Award nominated “An Affair To Remember”. It was played throughout the movie, usually using an organ as the primary instrument. I would love to hear you play it in one of these magnificent theatre organs.
Well done!

Is this instrument seriously on its original EP relays? If so, then that is awesome. Wish more Wurlitzers retained their original relays.
So do I. When the video first showed the console I saw the pistons and stop rail and was immediately hopeful it might be original or relatively original. A precious rarity these days.
At 11:40, Mark says this instrument is "lightning fast" with its original pneumatic relays.
Why would these be faster than modern solid-state-relays?
I’m pretty sure the point is that the original EP relays, when properly adjusted, can be fast enough to not be any kind of problem for playability. The better solid-state relays are still faster than EP, but not by enough to really matter. There are also some worse solid-state relays that can be slower than EP in certain situations.
Thank you so much Mark (from France, brittany). How can you block this high E b at 5:16 a while you're playing something else with your two hands?
There’s a sostenuto switch on the swell shoe that sustains the Great manual while activated.…A nice trick found on many theatre organs!
Is This Organ The Salem ma Paramount Organ? a Balaban And Katz 3 17 Ranks😊
Ain’t no Senate Theater, but nice.
"Lover Come Back To Me" was especially FANTASTIC!!! I love Simon's arrangement, but you may have topped it, Mark! Fabulous!!! This piece is a sentimental torch song for many of us, and you tugged at all of the heartstrings with that arrangement.
