Blackpool Tower Wurlitzer (Part 1)

Organist Nigel Ogden gives us a walking tour of the historic Wurlitzer Theatre Organ at the Tower Ballroom, Blackpool, England. He shows us the process of starting up the organ and navigating through a maze of doorways to get to the console underneath the stage and raising it up to stage level, just as it has been done for decades. Also included, a tribute and some rare archive film footage of organist Reginald Dixon. The segments I've selected from this video were used by permission of Valentine Music Ltd. www.valentinemusic.co.uk The complete DVD titled 'The Organist Entertains' can be purchased from any of these suppliers: www.soundandpicture.co.uk www.nostalgiadirect.com www.organ.co.uk. Part Two which includes a tour of the organ and several more tunes performed by Nigel is also available on my channel. NOTE: NOVEMBER 26, 2011 Folks, I've been notified of audio sync issues with the Black Tower videos. This has just occurred in the last few days. Apparently, YouTube has made some encoding upgrades that has affected these older videos. I am hoping they find a fix soon. My apologies.
