Summer 2024 – Oregon coast
Check out my first visit to the Pacific Northwest.
1:41 I met Jo Ann in Eugene, Oregon, as she performed with the Oregon Bach Festival. From there we go to Cannon Beach and ultimately to Portland.
11:12 One of the many highlights is visiting the filming locations for the 1980s film "Goonies" and it was a real blast!
5:36 We also followed a bit of the trail used by Lewis and Clark. Yup, those guys.
20:35 & 25:25 We also encounter some really cool cats that belonged to our hosts.

Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall Organ Crawl 1996-ish
Просмотров 3134 месяца 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...

    Coverage of Atlantic City The convention was intended to boost Atlantic City's image as a premier travel destination in the United States. Instead the DNC exposed the decline of the city.[7] Atlantic City faced criticism for poor quality hotels and the streets and buildings were dirty.[7] The decrepitude of Atlantic City was particularly present in comparison to San Francisco, California, an emerging city, that was the host city of the earlier-held 1964 Republican National Convention that members of the media had also attended.[7][8] Chuck Darrow of the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2014 wrote an article where he credited the convention with causing harm to Atlantic City's reputation. He recounted that, with the city's hotel facilities aging and tourism on the decline in the city, the accommodations and hospitality that delegates and the media experienced with left a less than stellar impression. With no contested ballot to preoccupy their coverage, Darrow recounts that the media spent time publicly expressing grievances about what they considered to be poor hospitality in Atlantic City.[8] This perceived decline in Atlantic City led to the city becoming a hub for casinos and gambling.

    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 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.

      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.

    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!

    • @EdGattsek
      @EdGattsek Год назад

Thank you again for the constructive criticism I will keep it under advisement

    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".

    • @EdGattsek
      @EdGattsek Год назад

      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

    • @KingdaToro
      @KingdaToro Год назад

      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.

      @@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.
