My life in small clips. Thanks for joining me.
An average Saturday in June. From Trenton to Brooklyn 
Please enjoy an average Saturday in June. I take you from a gig at the Catholic Cathedral in Trenton, to the Trenton Battle Monument, across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, all the way to Brooklyn’s Soldiers and Sailors Monument at the Grand Army of the Republic Plaza in Prospect Park.
Here is my attempt to provide some historical perspective and highlight the dovetails between the artisans who created the Trenton Battle Monument and the Soldiers and Sailors Grand Arch.

Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall Organ Crawl 1996-ish
Просмотров 241Месяц назад
Dennis McGurk (d. 2018) the former Atlantic City Organ Curator leads us on a tour of the largest pipe organ in the world. At this time (1996 or so) the organ was in a tremendous state of disrepair. An interesting look at history. In addition to Dennis, the late Steven Gosewisch's (d. 2006) voice can be heard early on. Also on this crawl were my HS music teacher, Michael Heap, and my best HS fri...

My first attempt at multi track video. I set the resolutions low to keep the file small. Overall, a bit primitive. But not bad. I made this several years ago as the pandemic was forcing all of us to rethink how we make music. I published it in 2024 because I forgot that I hadn't.

I appreciate your intelligent commentary delivered with a smoothly pleasant voice. Somebody else wrote that you are good at this. I agree.
We miss that view Big Guy....
Tell me 🤔
The music is a hint.
Check out “ The Pethricks “ , they live in France but found out several pipe organs were being away from churches in England. Since they bought an older convent building they decided to get one and took a team of family and friends to dismantle the organ and then mostly two inexperienced men reassembled the whole thing in the convent . The church has been deconsecrated but they wanted to save the organ. There are videos through the dissemble and them figuring out how to put it back together. One of them can play an organ a little. Thought you might be interested.🙋🏼♀️
I just discovered Anna this month and I'm crushed that I missed this. I wish I could have known about this concert, I definitely would have gone. Hopefully next year.
It's "losh" like "gosh"!
Thanks for this superb video, I was sorry I couldn't make it. Hopefully she's going to come back next year.
I hope so too! They really did it up well
You're good at this. We love your love of the stuff.
I had the pleasure of attending Anna's debut at the WDCH, she was an amazing performer live, and remained supercharged in the after show meeting the audience. She changed the program after discovering the capabilities of the venue's organ, it was a real treat.
The Beatles performed at what was then known as Convention Hall in August 1964 to a packed crowd.
Thank you for sharing. I got to see her in a packed cathedral in Pittsburgh which affected the acoustics so she didn't play one of the scheduled pieces. I saw pictures of the AC hall and was hoping to hear more.
I was trying to be respectful of the fact that they asked for no recordings. That’s why I didn’t include more
I was there and it was an absolutely amazing concert. Anna is incredibly talented. Great program, yes, I agree that a Bach piece would have been a welcome addition, but the performance and music were stunning and very moving. The sound was incredible. Not only the full organ (yes, we heard the 64-foot diaphone and the ophicleide) but also the softer and gentler sounds, a single flute on Glass's Mad Rush. I had my picture taken with Anna at the reception. She is very gracious and upbeat. A truly memorable evening.
Neat context! Wish there had been at least some music. Is there a video of that somewhere?
Not sure. Out of respect for the “no recording” printed in the program, I didn’t record anything but small excerpts. But I saw microphones there and Michael barone from pipe dreams. So I’m confident that will be a thing in the future. You should contact the boardwalk organ people and ask. Scott Banks is the guy. He’s a good guy.
So cool! Anna Lapwood is so talented.
wow hardly any waves
It was a magical evening. Ms Lapwood had a marvelous program and the expression on her face, caught between the many console cameras, revealed the revelry in her performance. Followed her on to Princeton.
Thanks for sharing! It was an amazing concert!
This is a wonderful, informative video. Thank you for it!
Thank you for a wonderful video! We are so glad you came and enjoyed the event. This is by far the largest event we have done as an organization and we learned a great deal from it. We look forward to many more in the future!
Glad you enjoyed it! You folks did a fine job with cocktail hour, recital, and after party. I always enjoy a visit to boardwalk hall esp when the organs are involved. I go back to the McGirk (sp.) days of the 1990s. I’ve played the organ before the renovation. I hope to visit this summer and maybe have a chance to play again. I also hope you folks have more events like this. 👍
It was my first time there. I loved it. Anna was great. I was sad I couldn’t understand her speaking.
The voice amplification was indeed awful.
omg I wish someone asked you what seat this was. I’m so afraid to fly there and have balcony seats too far back.
To my memory, this was front, center, mezzanine. They were pretty good seats. But I think the site lines in this room are exceptional no matter where you’re seated. So I think you’re good to go.

The wind noise can be greatly reduced (whilst recording!) by using a condom on the microphone! Seriously! A fluffy windshield will help, too.
Your video represents the hopes of all organist❤ Excellent work dude! Please make many more videos. Your contribution is big time! By doing your thing, you will only have respect and admiration👍❤️
Thx so much. It means a lot.

Is that the organ which caused this weather? I KNEW IT!
I watched your video for 9 minutes and I couldn't keep going due to a couple of critiques I have for how you might improve the quality of your videos. First, the double narration is incredibly distracting! It's like having two people talking to you at once. Please consider muting the video audio when you do a voice over so we don't have to hear two of you speaking at once and figure out which words go to which narrative. Second there was a LOT of wind in the microphone while you were outside and not only did it make it difficult to decipher your narration the constant noise was a bit frustrating to try and listen through. Otherwise I enjoyed this video very much and keep up the good work!
I appreciate your thoughts. I am still very amateur at this filmmaking stuff. I’m sorry you didn’t get to enjoy it due to my amateurish skills. How many videos have you made? Judging by the 13,000+ views this video has received it seems like a topic people are interested in and will tolerate a little bit of wind noise. Thank you again for the constructive criticism I will keep it under advisement
no volume!!!
It’s there. It’s just super soft. I recorded this before I had a digital interface.
I'm a veteran of the AC/DC War. I got wounded during the Battle of Voltage in Menlo Park, NJ. I sat out the rest of the war in a DC transformer room in NYC. Dr. Thomas Edison tended to my wounds.
Point of information - there is a 64 foot stop on the organ of the Royal Albert Hall in London. It is an open wood and its name is "Acoustic Bass".
Yeah I think you will find that any stop of that name is a “resultant”. Meaning that when the player selects that stop and plays a note on the pedal, the P5 above pitch is added, thus creating a resultant 64’. So it is not a true 64’. Many smaller instruments do this with a soft 16’ stop to imitate a 32’ Check it out terhardt.userweb.mwn.de/ter/top/acbass.html
That's true in the same sense that it's true that Boardwalk Hall has a 128 foot stop. They are both resultants, which you get by playing a note and the note a fifth above. But an actual, full-length 64 foot stop is something that can only be found in two organs in the world, Boardwalk Hall and Sydney Town Hall.
12:20. You broke it, you bought it.
You think they’d let me take it home? I did incidentally, remove the foot rest from under my bench and replaced it with a black pipe one like this. My design is a little different. But it turned out pretty well. I’ll have to make an update video on that
When I was little my dad used to park in the basement of the AC hall parking garage. Costs 3.25 a day.
The person making this video needs to shut up when someone else is speaking. Stop talking over the docent.
It's not technically all working, the organ in Macy's in Philadelphia is the largest working pipe organ in the world .
Couldn't fathom playing something that large!!!
Nice video and tour! I would recommend you mute your camera audio when you record voiceover, it is a very hard listening experience for the viewer to hear yourself speaking twice.
Thanks for the tip. I’m still pretty new at making videos for RUclips. I will keep trying to improve.
Additionally, try to keep the movement of the camera/phone whatever you're using to a minimum. Too many fast, jerky panning movements.
It has two consoles？One 5 manuals and one 7？
Yes. The portable five manual I’ve heard was used for boxing matches. I don’t think it functions.
@@EdGattsek I did the tour of the organ in 2018. The 'portable' console was completely disconnected from anything and there was a bundle of control cables as thick as your leg coming out the back that looked like it had been cut through with a hacksaw. Having worked inside telephone exchanges it looked just like the cable wiring of some of those big old exchanges that used relay logic to switch and route telephone calls. Apparently the colour coding of the wires is the same as that used in exchanges. Old telephone technicians would be right at home. There was a plan to get the portable console up and running again. But it would be a big task. The whole project to renovate that organ and bring it back to full working order is a massive task. I liked the enthusiasm displayed by the largely volunteer cry who were restoring, repairing and in some cases recreating all the elements that comprise that massive device.
Those keyboards are massive. Great tour. Beautiful building.
Correct me if I am wrong...This building hosted 2 WWE Wrestlemanias did it not?
Thank you for sharing your clear explanations and passion. So many of us have been in that hall, and had no idea what we were standing next to
The angel of Keepy-uppy departs... Until next time
The audio sucks,
If you don’t have something nice to say…
The front of that building is an art Deco jewel. The bas reliefs Are beautifully detailed and have with stood the test of time! Thank you for panning the front as few people really stop to appreciaperiod
We are of like mind. This building is a great monument. A true NJ gem. Ty for your kind words
This organ is going to be magnificent when it's fully restored. Until then the world's largest full functional organ is the Wanamaker Organ at Macy's in Philadelphia with 28,750 pipes in 464 ranks.
I read where the organ in the chapel at West Point is larger.
@@marcellocolona4980 23,511 pipes 231 ranks
@@johnmanire3380 Yes, the cadet chapel is the largest church organ.
@@marcellocolona4980 yes, but the largest full working pipe organ regardless of what facility it’s located in is the Wanamaker organ
@@johnmanire3380 Did you ever see the Christmas illumination at Macy’s? Wonderful with the organ. An uncle lived at Rittenhouse Square and when we visited for the holidays we always went to hear the organ at Wanamaker’s. Great memories.
One of my favorite pieces by Bach BWV582. I have to find the specs on this organ. Mark
Nice Mark
The sonic legacy continues.
BTW, the lines on the north side of the building are what's left of Trump Plaza that was demolished. Trump Plaza was built right up against the north wall.
Very cool. I should have realized after making the video about the plaza destruction, of course it abutted right to the Convention Hall. I think another commenter may have indicated this as well. Thank you for watching my video. I plan to make another one this summer when I have an opportunity to spend a bit more time and have the opportunity to play it!
Back to the organ. I know nothing about organs per se'. But I can recognize game. And this is world-class game. Having heard this organ only a few blocks away from my house is kind of like growing up with Steven Hawking as your next door neighbor. Most everybody will have no idea how amazing that actually is until they dig into it. This (all caps) MARVEL of musical engineering is a superlative of a superlative. Nobody, nowhere, no how, can top this, ever. Nobody will ever build anything that can compare to this again. I learned recently that only 40% of the 33,400 pipes have been restored so far. This is truly mind boggling. Funded mainly by donations, restoration work has been progressing at an amazing rate. But when working with an instrument that is actually part of an entire building, it is hard to find words to adequately describe just how huge this instrument is. A an example: If one pipe were repaired/restored/cleaned/or tuned each day, it would take 91 years to complete the job. The dedicated team of restorationists and fans of this magnificent machine are to be commended. Truth be told...In a city that cannot figure out how to pave the main street that every visitor to the city arrives on, it is great testimony that Boardwalk Hall and the organ within is in as good of shape as it is. Overall Boardwalk Hall has a long way to go until it is restored to its original splendor. Especially the West Hall and the parking areas, but OMG both the Midmer-Losch and the Kimball organs shine like a brilliant sun over this dilapidated and neglected city.
After the demolition of Trump Plaza, the remaining hotel tower was at one time, a Holiday Inn. A Rainforest Cafe still occupies the North East corner of the structure. Boardwalk Hall is one of the most beautiful, well maintained, modern, and welcoming structures on the East Coast and resides right on the Atlantic City boardwalk. This building is magnificent in not only its architectural beauty, but also with its perfect blending of theatrical technology both old and new. The gigantic traditional fly house is a monument to traditional theatrical technology of the 1930's. And the state-of-the-art overhead truss system which was installed after a tragic accident on the Justin Timberlake/Christina Aguilera tour is a commitment to keeping up with the latest innovations in theatrical rigging. This modern overhead truss system uses hundreds of dynamic weight sensors to accurately display the weight of everything hanging from it in real time. Boardwalk Hall uses cutting edge technology to stay relevant, economical, and safe for all touring shows.
Ty for all of this info. Of course I recognize the renovation in that I see the changes in the building since my first visits in the mid1990s when the building and esp the organ was in such disrepair. I did it know all of the details and histories of the rigging.
