Another fine example of Blackpool style. Bravo!

Would like to see some of the American TPO organists include a little of this style instead of playing for the select few.

stephen magee 2 months ago I love Blackpool and especially I love the tower ballroom because the sounds of the Wurlitzer organ with all its different sound and styles just captures my heart every time I hear it...

Carl Wickstrom 4 months ago A young friend is going off to Yale to study bioengineering, and organ on the side. She plays in perfect strict tempo, but doesn't know what it is. This video will show her.
