Remarkable.
Well done with the harmonica and guitar. I’ve seen it done but not tried it
myself, mainly because I’m abysmal with a guitar.
Actually with Theatre Pipe organs (as opposed to trackers) the key press to
pipe speaking is almost instantaneous except with some bass pipes which are
naturally a bit slow - it takes some time for sound to travel the length of a
16’ or (worse) 32’ pipe, or if a particular magnet is a bit

First, I think Bob Milne (subject of the podcast) is in a class by himself.
He's able to virtually play back the audio of up to 4 symphonies with different
keys and tempos in his head,
Thanks for the kind words David. I too like Ragtime, especially Joplin.
You have some great Theatre Organists in the USA. If you fancy a good concert
sometime, keep an eye out for Dave Wickerham, Walt Strony and Clark Wilson.
There are many more, but I’ve used enough bandwidth already.
C’mon
Yeah sight reading too, but it can be a pain. Unless the score is written for
Theatre Organ i.e. with 3 staves - the bottom one being the bass line, with
only 2 staves (such as a piano score) the pedal work does have to be
improvised, whilst sight reading (usually) chords and melody. Sounds
Here’s a link to the example mentioned in my previous reply. For some reason

I don’t consider myself anywhere near up there with the best, but what you
describe is not unusual amongst Theatre Pipe organists. I’m not sure if it’s
something we’re born with or whether it’s learned, mainly by practice.
The organist will often be playing 2 manuals (keyboards) at the same

Great. Years ago I knew a keyboard player Skip Van Winkle. Saw him play many
times with Dallas Hodge & some of the Tower of Power guys, plus a host of other
incredible players. Besides being quite a character, he would play rhythm &
lead parts on a B3 and kick great bass lines with both feet.
I'm one of those people with music constantly playing in my head, and
I do occasionally end up hearing either two pieces or two different parts
of the same piece running concurrently. It's totally in the background --
the music just plays along pretty much no matter what I'm doing,
