Hammond Organ played by 86 year old master

[@shawnmcculley2995]

Hardly nothing beats the sound of an old fashioned Hammond organ. I could listen to this lady all day long.

[@isopath1]

Nothing comes close to a Hammond worh drawbar.

[@edwinschwartz2472]

That beautiful vibrato sound only from a Hammond organ!

[@andreasjkampe-buecher]

She looks like an embodiment of senior sports, with fitness machines, dumbbells and all that goodness. As a result, she lives a much healthier life.

[@racheljones5614]

When I'm 86, I am going to be doing the same thing! Priceless!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@thopmsonsmith3256]

Hello Rachel That would be fun to watch How are you doing today?

[@mimicotom]

I play piano, but could never play the organ. Two keyboards, foot pedals, knobs and switches. This lady has my respect.

[@WillBravoNotEvil]

You might surprise yourself! Plus, the newer keyboards have tons of "help" to get you going.

[@holliehoover6223]

Me, too. And looking at her decorations and white hair makes me think of my dear mom.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

It is good to see this lady at the bench.... may She be blessed by our Heavenly Father above to play for years to come.....

[@edonmusic8209]

You got it still, I know cause I'm still playing theatre organ at 87. You can't beat this hobby to save your soul and keep you young. I'd love to play duets with you sweety.

[@joy2440]

My Dad is 92 - still plays by ear for Church-organ or piano- it’s a blessing this Lady can play - read notes 🎶 ( which is not easy) to coordinate the organ music & pedals Praise Him!!

[@adrianmlridgewayarcmlramll1965]

Absolutely lovely, well done darling! Love you! 💕💕🌺🌺🌺

No one can explain a musician's feeling, but everyone can feel it!..lovely lady!

I have goosebumps listening to this lady play bless her!😉

Hello Sharon How are you doing today?

[@mj6962]

That adorable way she looks up and smiles with a little chuckle reminds me of my grandma. Looked just like that and wound so that same thing exactly when she noticed you.

[@joszandstra2044]

It must be wonderful when you can still enjoy making beautiful music at the age of 86. Really lovely to watch and listen ...

[@kegginstructure]

A Hammond and a Leslie cabinet. Can't beat that combo. I played a B3 (not a C3) with a Leslie in the late 1960s and early 1970s on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We didn't have strippers - but we DID have "go-go" dancers. (I'm 75 now.)

[@scrunchymacscruff1244]

They're pretty nice to lug around.

[@MidwestMike100]

I also noticed the Leslie behind her, and was hoping she would kick it in a time or two. But still, as always, a Hammond can stand on its own.

[@sashineb.2114]

Aww, how lovely. I can see how much satisfaction and peace this lady gets from this, and also how anybody who hears her playing will feel the same. Thank you for posting this.

[@Bob-nu3xe]

brings back so many memories the great C3, bless Laurieanne x

[@RoelTyros]

Beautifull played and very nice warm Hammond sound, great !

[@aaronrashad2363]

She really blessed my soul…❤

[@boilinabag]

its the music flowing from her that is the life force she is still using. love the leslie lifted, so the bass is moving her bones.

[@sondrasmith2691]

Sounding sooo good, Laurieanne!! Thank you so much for sharing your love of music and talent with us.

The best thing I have watched today. Keep it up Ma'am 👏

Great job! I hope I will still play that well when I am 86!

My pastor would play this back in the early eighties in our church beginnings. Now she sings with the praise team. She’s 76 now

[@UnequallyYolkedCouple]

She looks good for 86, awesome job!

[@jdawz2816]

Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Edwin572]

It’s great hearing this woman playing this beautiful organ. I want to follow her on the bench and play it too.

[@BelleNell]

Reminds me of my late sister who played a Hammond. She had the Leslie on the floor not elevated.

The Hammond organ is an electric organ invented by Laurens Hammond and John M. Hanert and first manufactured in 1935.

[@dfirth224]

Hammond organs were used a lot in the 1930s and 40s accompanying the old time radio programs.

[@timothysobina6777]

I am very happy to see and hear older, talented organists still performing! Very nice playing and keep on entertaining!! Blessings to you for sharing your gift!

[@stevesutherland8247]

What an amazing lady. Fantastic to listen to, and that laugh when she realised you were filming her just made my Saturday. Thank you for sharing

[@lucaslatino796]

Amazing performance. Kudos to you dear @ Karen Scot💯💯💯❤👏👏👏

[@klauskruger6187]

She plays everything without sheet music. Just by memory and hearing. These are the real musicians.

[@BodybuilderKingViky]

So, according to you those who write on paper or read from a book are not really educated but those who can keep talking are educated! 😂 Music is also a language and just like any other languages, you can read it from sheet or write it on paper and by play by memory or pitch.

[@klauskruger6187]

@@BodybuilderKingViky A pianist playing from sheet music will never achieve the expression of a pianist who knows the piece by heart. It's just like in the theatre. Or have you ever seen an actor with a piece of paper in his hand?

[@BodybuilderKingViky]

@@klauskruger6187 Mugging a music piece after playing it for 100 times and then performing it makes someone better? Really? The real talent and musicianship lies in performing a music piece by instant sight reading, extempore improvisation and by pitch realisation. I am a pianist and organist who does all this and my expression never lacks by playing from a sheet. All the great musicians from Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Müller, Brahms, Ravel, Debussy, Elgar and hundreds more did the same thing. An actor is incapable of remembering his monologues and dialogues apart from the ones he mugs up for a shoot and it takes hundreds of takes to do it in movies and TV while one might remember a role for the theatre the same goes for your brilliant musicians who can't read music. They keep learning pieces all their lives and then forgetting them and waste their time in perfecting them. What is better, a man capable of performing numerous compositions of any style, instantly one after the other or a man who learns 2 music pieces in a year and then forgets them after 2 years?

[@klauskruger6187]

@@BodybuilderKingViky Have you ever picked up a guitar and composed a song and sung along? And let's say it was a big hit and you have played your song hundreds of times. Would you have always had a music stand in front of you? Or would you have known the song by heart at some point and played it without sheet music? Which version would the audience have liked better? The Beatles were the greatest composers of modern times. Do you think any of them could read music? But you are a classical pianist. So what do you do when a gust of wind comes and blows your sheet music away? Or how would it sound if a conductor said to his orchestra: "By now everyone should know what to play, so let's try it without sheet music!" After sufficient practice you would have a result that you could never have achieved with sheet music. If you're a professional, and there are really very complicated pieces, then I can understand it. But when children in a music school are taught that music can only be made with sheet music instead of just having them play or compose by ear, it makes me sick. I am a German. I recently saw a choir singing the German national anthem at a ceremony on TV. I'm sure every singer knew the melody, yet everyone looked at their sheet music. How can something like that happen?

[@BodybuilderKingViky]

@@klauskruger6187 Hummm. I don't know why but I think you're not getting my point. I never said that music should only be played by sight reading. That makes you equal to a typist. I have previously also mentioned in my replies that a musician is someone who can sight read, improvise (just perform by thinking) and play by pitch realisation (play by ear). I think you need to re-read my replies. Sight-reading performs an integral part of music learning, how else would have the great composers saved their beautiful creation for the generations to come and play? How are you going to save your compostion or discover someone else's, though we have a lot of recording technology for the same, now. As far as wind blowing my sheet is concerned. I play indoors mostly so no gust of wind comes there and if it does, I have clips and usually I play from heavy books that won't fly away. If in exceptional cases, that happens then I shall chase the wind and gather my sheets. 😂😂 Anyone who claims to compose music and say that they don't know the basics of music theory are either thieves who have stolen other's works or are liars. As far as teaching children to read music is concerned, it's the best thing to do. Do you want people only to talk and be illiterate, where they can't read or write? Aren't we all taught, English or German alphabets and grammar from childhood to learn that language and not make mistakes? I also wrote in my first reply that music is a language, and just like any other language, it has a script (notation) and theory and if you want to become a good overall musician, you should be able to read and write music too. There's no harm in it. It is not something additional that we will add to music and will spoil your talent of being a composer. I am not just a classical musician, I play all types of music from jazz to pop and classical and anything that someone might request or I feel like playing. I don't make distinction between music because all music is just formed of the 7 macro notes, it just depends how you create with it and what pleases your soul. As far as complex and lengthy music works are concerned, no one can play them just by ear. You need to learn from notation to be able to play it mugged or sight read. Good that you're German, I am not. I am an Indian. 👍
