Atlantic City, New Jersey Pipe Organ WOW!!!!!

[@ershutterbug979]

This is wonderful Scott! Thanks for taking us along! The sound is absolutely amazing!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Glad you enjoyed it! Can you believe that only 60 percent of the organ is playable at this time! It was damaged in the 1944 storm and only in the last few years has the restoration taken place. They still need quite a bit of cash and several more years but it will someday be fully restored. Thank you for watching.

Just when I was panicking about the world today this popped up. Thank you so very much for the level of calm this brought me. I’m forever grateful for the serenity you bring.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

You are so welcome! Always nice to see you Poodle!

And hilarity

[@elderlypoodle9181]

@@helenbailey8419 Yes!! 😁👍❤️

[@georgemurphy2579]

Not only is the organ team doing a spectacular job with the restoration project, but the building has been beautifully reconditioned as well. Imagine, the two largest instruments are not in religious buildings, but they're a distance of only forty miles from each other. Both venues worth the visit.

[@helenbailey8419]

I love the flame like lights over the console.

I’ve got chills!!!!

Me too!

Thanks Scott

I loved Mr Peanut! There was a Mr Peanut store along Rt 1 in Peabody Massachusetts. We always stopped in on our way to Denmark Maine. Great memories!

Interesting chords there at the end. Scott. Loved the looks on your face! Lol....thanks for sharing.

What a thrill! What a treat for Dylan David Shaw to be able to play such an amazing organ! It was delightful to hear and imagine that it is free every Wednesday! Thank you so much for another fun video! Happy Flag Day everyone!

Well that was fun! Thanks for sharing, Scott!

[@karenwilliams8465]

I remember showing my grandson a video you shared about this pipe organ. We watched about 10 more videos about pipe organs. I am always amazed by the size of this organ and the craft to make it. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@bevsprague1731]

Scott such a nice afternoon. Beautiful music in a beautiful building with a good friend 😊

[@jodidavis6595]

What a great video to post on flag day. Thank you. We all needed this. God save our country.

Very cool, Scott! Thanks for the video. 😀

[@joyceenlow8389]

What a great tour. Thanks for taking us along.

[@doyeworrell1680]

Awesome 👏 Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m so happy they are restoring the organ and the history of the building is so cool. I love 💗 anything related to history, it’s important to remember the past. Thx again.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@brstoffel]

Oh my. What an amazing video, Scott. I can’t thank you enough for taking us on your trip. If I ever could visit Atlantic City, this would have been my can’t miss stop. The production quality of the video is top notch, with the fade outs and insertion of photos. I’m sure this took a long time for you to produce … I thank you many times over. I never knew the hall has been so beautifully restored. It’s a national treasure.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Thank you so much for the kind comments. That organ is a national treasure and if you could only hear it in person. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Adam-do8eh]

Thanks Scott! As Bette Davis said in Now Voyager..." I suspect you're a treasure!"

[@froggy9851]

TYSM for taking us along... it gave me goosebumps!! Enjoyed it so much!!

[@margaretflack2091]

What a wonderful sound, wonderful organist!!

[@brandonboccardo5438]

The organist is Dylan Davis Shaw. He also plays the Wanamaker in Philadelphia. He a very talented individual and super friendly.

[@jackhamm1745]

Love the Triumphal Hymn from Aida at the end! Bravo!

[@georgannenelson105]

That was fun Scott. I was in Atlantic city once just at some casinos with my ex MIL. It was chilly and rainy so couldn't enjoy the beach.😊

[@sgjr03]

Thank you for sharing this musical experience with us! It's very much appreciated!

[@gailsprangers9388]

The swelling of emotions during the phantom of the opera! I can only imagine how it must have felt being immersed in it! Thank you so much for sharing this. Someday, God willing, I will get to experience it first hand❤

[@alanatolstad4824]

WOW, is right! Imagine having the skill to be granted organist of that instrument. Humbling (unless they have a great ego!)---The old photos also added another dimension to that experience. I'll bet Jonathan Scott over in Britain would love to play on the organ. He has played on many exalted ones across the British Isles & Europe. HIs brother Tom is also very talented, and includes filming of their various venues.---(I have a hard time with artists who take liberties with the anthem. I want straight and true.)---Thank-you for this new trip to that amazing location.

[@aliciapilotta5913]

How beautiful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us Scott!!! ❤

[@JennyMack]

My sister went to a good old-time pipe organ concert in the twin cities this past winter. My dad has a full old pipe organ in his home. He went to the Chicago conservatory of music. He collected antiques all his life.

[@alexanderleach3365]

That is wonderful experience! Makes me want to plan a visit and see the organ itself.

[@ColettaDesign]

Many thanks. Hope your day was great!

I wish you could hear in in person.

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

What a grand and beautiful musical instrument. Last summer I saw, heard and learned about the pipe organ at Longwood Gardens. Not as large as this one but it was in a beautiful setting. Thanks for sharing this treat.

[@luvnalaska44]

I have always loved Mr Peanut and have a few vintage items. So fun. What an interesting place. I wasn’t expecting all of the great exhibits. So happy you brought us all along. Really fantastic!

[@Texasoma]

Thank you Scott.. this was really nice..would of loved being there…

[@tracy9397]

Love this Scott. Thank you for sharing!

[@rickeydonald4756]

I bet that pipe organ, while being played, registers something on the seismic instruments in New Jersey. I think I felt a slight tremor way down here in Kentucky. LOL. Thanks for sharing Jersey history. My many trips to the home office in West Orange were enlightening to say the least. My morning rides into Newark for my anesthesia preceptorship were more eye opening than a double espresso. I have fond memories of the Garden State.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh the old Oranges of NJ.....not what they once were in days long ago. My grandfather was born in East Orange, NJ to German immigrant parents. If you ever find yourself in Jersey again, please please stop in old Atlantic City and hear this grand old girl in person!!!!!!!!!!!

[@biancagoodnight1750]

Thanks for the cool tour 😎

[@george.carrasco]

Great video Scotty! Thanks for sharing!

[@carolm3468]

Wow! That was impressive! Now I've seen Wanamaker's and now this one. Thank you!

[@IamSnowbird]

I grew up going to Atlantic City and I was scared to death of Mr. Peanut. I ate at Capt. Stern's many times. As a parent I took my kids to OCNJ. It was much more family friendly than AC after the casinos opened.

[@catherinebyrne8628]

Thanks Scott! That was stellar!💕 ...I have so many memories of AC...saw the Everly Brothers in the '60s, on Steel Pier...etc ..😀💕

[@juancarloscuevasbecerril5540]

Awesome sound , thanks for sharing 👏

[@GlennRyman]

A great video of a great organ! For those still wondering about that organ console in the lobby that Scott showed before the concert, I have the full "Bible" of the AC organ, and that was the 5-manual console which was designed to play the same pipes as the one to the right of the stage (the 7-manual). Both were supposed to be able to play together, but for some reason the relays between the two consoles never materialized. Having been to the Wanamaker in Philadelphia, my intents are to of course not only see but to possibly play this behemoth. 7 Manuals, 449 ranks or sets of pipes and 33,112 pipes in total!

[@helenbailey8419]

I like the shoes in the cabinet with the square toes.Much more natural for a foot.The others are instruments of torture.

Thank you for showing us so much at a lot of different places. How is the weather over there? Here is so hot!! Phu! No Polarbear here! Lol!😀

[@shannon_w.]

I grew up in Ocean City a half of a block from the boardwalk on a street called Plymouth Place. It was the absolute BEST place to grow up! Also, as I had shared with you about a week or so ago I was lucky enough to hear the organ played at the old convention hall in A.C. last month (because my son graduated from Stockton and the ceremony was there) and I was sitting right directly next to it so I got to watch him play the organ as we waited for the ceremony to start. It was incredible!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Oh how fantastic! Congratulations to your son and your family.

[@Kathy22211]

It doesn’t matter if it ever gets fully restored. I think it’s fine the way it is.

[@markchawner1586]

Scott .... Mr. Peanut anything to do with the Planters brand ??? Happy Days ❤️ Always remember the free Nuts you could help yourself to when shopping at that fabulous place called Stew Leonards in Connecticut when i was in the States .... A fantastic store, Wow, what a place !!!! You don't get anything like that in the UK, tell you 😎😉👍👏

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Mark I'm so happy to share this musical treasure all all around the world. You have so may wonderful theater organs in the UK!

[@markchawner1586]

@@oldcuriosityshop265 Yes, Scott .... You're right ! Thank you. My late Uncle used to play a Mighty Wurlitzer at local Bingo Halls, Cinemas and small Concert Venues in the UK .... And, in the Summer mostly at Seaside resorts .... He made a really good living out of it 👍

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

Speaking of Stew Leonard, I always stop when driving through Connecticut. My favorite grocery store, but I don’t remember seeing free peanuts. We have a hamburger chain called Five Guys where you can help yourself to free roasted peanuts in the shell, but you have to eat them outside the restaurant due to peanut allergies.

[@bunniefuller7847]

You need a big screen to show the organist downstairs at the same time!

I'll stop with the blah blah blah😂😂😂so unexpected in the intro

As with a number of trumpet tunes attributed to Purcell, they were really 'borrowed' from Jeremiah Clark!
