Wonderful performance,Gert and Marjoline kept busy changing registrations, Superb. performance Fraser!❤❤❤

[@HondaGoldwingGL1800]

I am now 77 years old and I grew up with this kind of music and I love it. I still have many of my parents record albums that are the old thick 78 rpm records that are music like this. Thank you for the wonderful memories I have as a young kid and double thank you for playing music like this. It is so enjoyable to listen to and watch you play.

[@SebCHdF]

Gert, la joie que vous avez à jouer est communicative! Ce concert était formidable. D'autant plus que vous avez découvert cet orgue 6 heures avant le début du concert! Quel magnifique travail. Organiste dans cette église, je découvre sans cesse les possibilités de cet orgue. Vous vous êtes fait plaisir (cela se voit) et nous aussi. Toutes mes félicitations encore à tous les deux!

[@karenjacobs7445]

One of my favorite songs to roller skate to at the local roller skating rink in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, when I was a kid. Thanks for the happy memories and the beautiful music.

[@sallywebb9270]

Thank you for this Thursday treat. It's so precious to see you two together, to see your smile as you enjoy the beautiful sounds and to listen to your interpretation and registration. Wonderful, lively, cheeky ..... you got my feet tapping and put a smile on my face. God bless you all

Music that brings pictures to the ears, and smiles that light up your life!

You must realise the joy and incredible pleasure you lovely people bring to your viewers and listeners, when your talents bring this great music into our everyday lives. Today had been a bit dreary and exhausting around me, but your music and enthusiasm has changed all that. I am re-invigorated for the whole weekend..! Congrats, Gert, Marjo, and your team for this gem. I will play your version often. Will donate soon. 🎩chapeau, tout le monde! xx

Another fantastic piece of joy and enchantment from Gert and Marjolein !! I remember the melody of this being played on the BBC radio in my youth, but never knew what it was .... until now. Wonderful !!

You obviously enjoyed your concert in France, Marjolein and Gert. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is always a special pleasure.

[@88-fingers79]

Absolutely Wonderful! The joy and joie de vivre in this piece was incredible.

[@jna9888]

Took me back 70 years to the skating rink... "All skate, all skate". Brought a tear of joy!

[@robertleifeld225]

I also spent many youthful weekends at the roller skating rink where I practiced skating just so I could ask the girls too skate/dance. 70 years ago is about right as I graduated high school in late 1950s. Fun memories, thank you

[@rypkepaulusma]

How wonderful to see you together again, as a team. As always great music from great people. Thank you!

[@jonathanumstead4608]

What a beautiful piece for my wife and I to enjoy as celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary last week, and although the waltz over the years wasn't always so smooth, a beautiful piece like this brings back many loving memories. Thanks again, Gert and Marjolein, for blessing us with another great work on GertsDay!! 🙏✝️🛐🎹🎶

Seems like a perfect piece for this organ and sanctuary, not to mention the organist and his able assistant.

Really wonderful Gert!😁👏👏👏👏

[@joszandstra2044]

So I already heard this melody quite a few times, but never heard it the way you played it and on an organ like this. Real teamwork and it is lovely to see you two togeter bringing us beautiful music and showing that you really love what you are doing

Geweldig Gert !! Wat knap gespeeld !!! Zet dit ajb op een cd uit Bovenkerk kampen !!!

[@PeterMackett]

Nice to hear the classical organ playing a waltz instead of the usual sacred and choral music, it shows off the instrument really well.

[@emmanuel6407]

perfect!

[@alessandrohepp5845]

bravo

[@jackelineweststrate8971]

Prachtig en vrolijk orgelstuk Gert. De muziek doet me denken aan Andre Rieu👌 Mooi orgel en akoestiek in de kerk. Je hebt een goeie aan je vrouw Marjolein met registreren, ze moet gewoon rennen om het aan weerszijde te kunnen doen👍

[@jeanlucloppin1869]

Et en plus j'étais la ce soir ce jour vendredi 12

[@carmenrupprecht4163]

Breath-taking in many ways, including Marjolein at 7:26! Bravo!

[@rypkepaulusma]

Ah, you noticed it too 🙂It's an accomplishment indeed.

[@DaveTaylor-om6ok]

@@rypkepaulusma and Carmen, you both noticed minute 7:26, huh? Marjolein has the cutest facial expressions. World class talent, beautiful music and a lovely girl in the passenger seat. This all makes for a great show.

[@corvanp.8942]

Arme Marjolein, het leven van een registrante gaat niet altijd over rozen maar gelukkig hadden jullie er allebei lol in😉

[@picardiebelleregion9508]

Très belle interprétation, mes compliments. Une petite réflexion surtout adressée au clergé : une église n'est pas un music-hall !

[@Richard.Holmquist]

Ah, but yes it is: a skate rink where angels play. This particular organ has perfect sounding for this joyous song. Gert and Marjolein, it has been 78 years since I’ve heard this played, and the joy you felt while playing it was as mine those years long passed.

[@kokkieamiga]

Does this mean, people should never organize organ concerts in their churches, and Gert should only play organ concerts in music halls instead? I think it's pretty boring, because in music halls, Gert for example can't play hymns and psalms as it doesn't fit the type of audience which usually comes to such places. And also, then not so many people will be able to come, due the longer distance they need to travel, than to their local church. I understand why you say it. It sounds like a disrespect towards God. But it's a difference in opinion between people about this. Maybe you could see it this way, that God has invented the music, to let people communicate that way to eachother and sometimes directly to God Himself as well, and when you think, that God is inside his people, that's always a communication to Him as well too. so I don't think it should be forbidden to held concerts in churches. Btw, I was present at that concert in France too, and it was awesome and not to be missed. Saint Vaast, see you next time? 😉

[@picardiebelleregion9508]

@@kokkieamiga Il y a deux choses qu'on ne fait pas dans les églises, du moins dans la mesure où nous sommes encore conscients du caractère sacré du lieu (?) : 1/ La musique profane. 2/ les applaudissements. Pour le reste, je n'ai rien contre les musiques sacrées et religieuses dans les églises, Dieu sait si elles sont belles ! J'ai souvenir de l'époque où des concerts spirituels se faisaient dans la paroisse, on commençait par prier et à la fin, on se réunissait dans la salle paroissiale pour féliciter les musiciens et les applaudir, par respect pour l'Hôte Sacré du lieu. Il est vrai qu'aujourd'hui, on ne croit plus à rien ...

[@rypkepaulusma]

@@picardiebelleregion9508 Je comprends ce que tu veux dire. Mais Gert joue de cet orgue avec la permission de l'autorité établie dans cette église. Donc je peux aussi supposer qu'il n'y a rien de mal avec cette musique dans cette église. Profitez et appréciez s'il vous plaît.

[@picardiebelleregion9508]

@@rypkepaulusma C'est justement bien là où est tout le problème : il y a la permission du clergé ! Et parallèlement, si on veut y faire célébrer une messe en latin, c'est "la croix et la bannière" (c'est le cas de le dire) avec refus catégorique + église fermée !

[@kencammenga4442]

Need your Dutch help. My mom and dad spoke Dutch and Frisian. They used a word that I remember. My mother would say "he was 'slup' from laughing' Meaning, he was laughing so hard he could hardly stand up. Do you know the word? Is it Dutch or Frisian?

[@ullinator1388]

Hm - schwierig zu verstehendes Stück, gestrickt mit den einfachen Komponenten der mitteleuropäischen Leichtigkeit des 18. Jahrhunderts. Muss man schon mögen, um es gut zu finden ... na ja, Gert und Marjolein finden es offenbar relativ gut ... Insgesamt betrachtet und dass muss man bei so einer Schießbudenkomposition anerkennenderweise feststellen, wird es aber virtuos vorgetragen.

[@nicolaswiernsperger6242]

pathetic ! What the meaning of playing this on an organ ?? Just non-sense, more so if one remembers that thousands of organ music is neve played !!

[@sallywebb9270]

Sorry you didn't enjoy this - but it's always been true that you can't please all the people all the time. I hope you enjoy some of the other 'proper' organ music Gert posts.... I confess I enjoyed it so much I went back for seconds!!!

[@TerryP1922]

You are entitled to your opinion, but pathetic is not a way to describe Gert's music. Sensational, artistic, creative and a great organist come to mind. Your comment is very uncharitable. Thousands of subscribers obviously disagree with you.

[@TerryP1922]

Sally, I went back for thirds!!!🤗
