It was an off night (tues or wednesday), and the older guy playing the organ wasn't the hot shot dude that played on Fri and Sat nights (and did all the stuff from Phantom of the Opera, and that sort of thing). Well I requested Quiet Village, and the organist had to think long and hard to remember it. He fiddled around, and then a light went off, and he started off with those low bass notes, and then he went to town -- using every crazy instrument that was hooked up to the pipe organ (that they hung on the walls behind him). Just amazing! On LP, I like Baxter. For something odd, listen to Lalo Schifrin's version off of Black Widow. [ Edited by: I, Zombie on 2005-06-09 19:35 ]
