Hello @briangreen6927 Thank you for a lovely comment. You are are just a couple of months older that me and we obviously both have the same taste in music. Michael Parkinson

I use to play the Hammond Organ yesteryears ago and enjoyed it very much. I still like the Hammond sound but that I am into the Wersi Organ with Florian Hutter at the relm. You play wonderfully my friend, thanks very much.

BRAVO!

[@DavidArdittiComposer]

The piece is actually called the ‘Old Pi-Anna Rag’

[@michaelparkinsonnotsir]

Hello @DavidArdittiComposer thank you for comment. I will change it. Michael Parkinson

[@donnablankenhorn5905]

What brand of organ? Organ playing at its best!

[@michaelparkinsonnotsir]

Thank you Donna Blankenkenhorn5905 for your nice comment.Nicholas is playing his Technics GA3 Organ. I think he has added some sounds into it though. Michael Parkinson

[@benedictdsilva3954]

What organ is this? good playing ...pedals too ..

[@michaelparkinsonnotsir]

Hello @benedictdsilva3954. Nicholas Martin plays his Technics GA3 organ to which he has added some sounds over the years. Michael Parkinson

[@pbird9516]

could I correct you please. This is the technics GA3. Nicholas sometimes adds Reg Rawlings “Theatre Organ in a box” through midi, but this does not appear to be the case on this occasion.

[@michaelparkinsonnotsir]

@@pbird9516Thank you @pbird9516 I probably mistyped it and so GA3 it is. Thank you for telling me. Michael Parkinson

[@AnyoneForToast]

Well, I've been down a rabbit hole, but I think I have found what music actually is...

[@davef.2329]

You must be related to my late dad!

[@michaelparkinsonnotsir]

Hello Davef. Is that me or Nicholas Martin? Michael Parkinson

[@davef.2329]

@@michaelparkinsonnotsir Not by name, lol. Your organ work and style. That was his daily hobby. He had a Conn 652 when I was a kid, then traded it for a big Lowry of some kind, and eventually a Wurlitzer that looked like it came from an old theatre. Much to his dismay, I never had the talent for playing. Thanks.
