Just browsing around on my days off and found a couple of interesting videos on YouTube.

This is a duet video of Ted cranking his Raffin 20/40 organ, and Jonathan cranking a Raffin 20/78 owned by Dave Mahr. This was taken at the COAA organ rally held in Rossville, Georgia at Lake Winnepesaukah in May of 2010. (Lake Winnie)
Playing a fast tune like this and keeping together is quite difficult.
I think they made a good job of it.
And this next one is for Jan in California, who tells me, she is always willing to have a hug.

Oh thats a great video Uncle B. and what a great sound...love it...and i would be up for a free hug anytime!! Its kind of sad that people have to ask for it...some don`t know what to do with friendly people anymore seems like they always think something bad is going to happen when you smile at them...funny world...
greetings Francien.
Hi Francien,
Sorry I didn't spot your comment here from Saturday. I was out Sunday playing my friends organ at a rally.
I have been trying myself to take videos of my friends playing their organs but am not having much success. :(
It was Jan in California who said that she never says "No" to a big hug, so I thought she may like this.
((((Hugs))) Unc. Bernard
Count me in for a hug at any time, any place! So glad I was directed to this post; love the music and the video.
Anyone talking the language of fourths,fifths, major and minor, deserves a hug, for those are my favourite kind of sounds... I sang barbershop for years!
Yes, Francien, you're so right. I used to tell our overseas students to be careful not to smile at UK citizens whom they haven't been introduced to. They could end up on a charge for some kind of harassment!
Great clip, Uncle B. Thanks.
Good Heavens! Two more lovely comments - and a special welcome to Jinksy. (I've already welcomed my old friend the Doc.) :)
I also talk in thirds and octaves, Jinksy, but try to avoid consecutive
fifths and octaves when arranging!
I have never heard of lady Barber Shop singing before - but I'm all for it. Sounds fun. :)
Hi Doc,
I too thought it was fun. I wonder if Jan has noticed it?
I have never minded giving/having a hug.....what I'm not over-keen on is all this 'cheek kissing'.
If your going to kiss someone you might as well as do it properly! ;)
(of the opposite sex in my case)
