Cozy Cole had the Best Version Although Cozy was on Drums , another Band Member was on Organ. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great video. Extremely helpful. Like you, I noticed my oiling wick was missing and I am about to find and install a replacement. However, I'm a bit unclear about tying the wick to the brass bearing on the motor shaft below.. Does the brass bearing turn, and won't it wrap up the thread? please advise. Many thanks again....PC

I was a regular skater at The Hub during the last years of its existence, when it was then known as The Axle, in the 70s to its closing in the mid-80s. This was its era of skating to disco and Top 40 music. I was born a bit too late to have been able to skate to organ music performed by some of the organists I hear mentioned in videos highlighting their talents at various rinks throughout the Chicago area, such Leon Berry, Freddie Arnish, and Tony Tahlman. At least regularly. By the time I was skating, most organ skate sessions were relegated to an infrequent schedule, such as only on Sunday evenings, if not completely eliminated from a given rink's program. During my teen years, I never once considered going to an organ skate session, despite my mother recommending that I at least give it a try sometime. She and my father met roller skating to organ music in their youth and I guess I owe my being here to it. But I never did, and I have to say I regret not having skated to the sounds of these behemoth pipe organs. The music these organs produced, in conjunction with the creativity and skill of their players, amazes me. I know that there are a few rinks around the USA that still have organ sessions, but I'm not sure if they can compare to the sessions that one would have enjoyed with The Hub's massive pipe organ. That organ was still up in the rafters when I was skating at The Axle (nee Hub), complete with all its bells and whistles. I'd love to go back in time and experience what skating was like at The Hub with Mr. Berry at the keyboard. Of note: I remember that around 1982 that there was some disassembly of the organ in which several parts of it (mainly cuboid pipes) were stacked in the far non-skating area of the far west end of The Axle. The DJs on duty warned skaters to stay out of that area of the rink.

RIP Tony, Frank, Ken, and everyone who has passed away on the show.

The Stars and Stripes John Phillip Sousa Where did you go? What happened

Wonderful arrangement. Could you pnease release a tutorial? Just a quick digital one, you know, with the notes touching down on the piano.

Lovely performance of the Mancini classic.

Best version

Tell me again what Laurens Hammond didn't like about a Leslie tone cabinet. Great use of the pair....

Perfect!!!

A nice tune that works well in jazz. I play it often. Nicely done.

Beautiful! Another organ standard!

In 1975 my favorite cousin was killed in a head on accident with a drunk driver. My cousin was also an organ player. This was one of the hymns played at her funeral. I still miss her very much.

That’s a beautiful rendition

I absolutely love your playing. It would be cool if you did a hockey organ medley that would be so awesome.

Were you ever an organist in a roller skating rink? If not, you should have been. And that’s a compliment! Also, do you ever play through a Leslie? Thanks! I so enjoy your style.

My favourite Hammond style. That reverb makes the organ sound like it is played in a stadium. I wish I could make my 1957 B3 sound that good!

Please don't shut this channel down, it is the only where I can here your style of playing. Still, if you ever stop playing, I'd love to buy your Hammond.

I love the older style you do. It sounds great.

Always a delight to hear your renditions, Steve. Your playing is clean and precise. You stick to the melody which is how I play, the old fashioned Hammond Supper Club style.

Pure magic! Loved the RD ride at the end! Thanks!

LEON was the best. Used to go skating at the hub back in the 60's

Love it! Delightful and pleasant for a late Friday afternoon! 👍👍

Superb covers! 👏👏👏👏

So wonderful! My late father loved the sound of the Hammond organ. I wish he was around to hear your excellent playing! Thanks for posting these!

Well done. Nice to hear someone that plays like I was taught back in the 50's. I still have the B3 my parents bought me.

As always, you always come through with that golden Hammond sound! I literally came into this world with the strains of the Hammond organ. My mother was in labor at a local hospital and my dad and several family members were all sitting in a little road house nearby awaiting the news of my birth (Pocono Mountain area). An organist on a Hammond entertained until the wee hours. That was in 1951 and my dad, gone now, always told that story with a certain glow.

Always the real hammondsound like the playing of Paul Rutger the Belgian. You know him?

Keep up that old Hammond style of the 50's and 60's. While the audience might be shrinking due to attrition, those dinosaurs remaining love every rendition.

Wat kan u mooi orgel spelen!😅

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

WoW just fantastic !!

i took your advise, replaced the oil wick and repaired the percussion at the same time. thanks

Hammond gold! Thanks for sharing this wonderful music!

Lost my 87yo organ teacher Bill Mitchell Monday, April 8th 2024, just as the eclipse was starting. This was his favorite song. He favorited the Hammond organ, and sold them out of his home in Worcester for over 50 years. Thank you.

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

Awesome! I'm speechless at the engineering involved! Brilliant stuff!

Just stumbled onto this! Fantastic! Times of innocence past! Great music!

The Thanksgiving Day the parade ended without this song, I actually sent Macy's customer service a message asking why it wasn't played, the representative wasn't able to find out why, although they did also say they were disappointed at it being replaced. This was the perfect way to end the parade every year!

I love the hammond played this classic way, Could listen for many hours!

Anyone notice at around 3.20 there are no stairs in front of the stage like there is today

Surprised no one else joined in to compliment your rendition. Us old Hammond dinosaurs need to stick together and continue to encourage the publishing of these tunes on the one and only Hammond Organs.

Wow. I remember skating at the Hub.

My dad took me there when I was young in the 1960s I thought it was a magical sound and still love it

Thanks for this 🙏🏾💯

Beautiful! Brilliant arrangement and production!.

Beautiful music and interpretation!!! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful interpretation!!!👏👏👏👏👏

Nigel plays OLD PIANNA RAG - as good as Phil here.
