You got it still, I know cause I'm still playing theatre organ at 87. You can't beat this hobby to save your soul and keep you young. I'd love to play duets with you sweety.
My Dad is 92 - still plays by ear for Church-organ or piano- it’s a blessing this Lady can play - read notes 🎶 ( which is not easy) to coordinate the organ music & pedals Praise Him!!
Aww, how lovely. I can see how much satisfaction and peace this lady gets from this, and also how anybody who hears her playing will feel the same. Thank you for posting this.
That adorable way she looks up and smiles with a little chuckle reminds me of my grandma. Looked just like that and wound so that same thing exactly when she noticed you.
A Hammond and a Leslie cabinet. Can't beat that combo. I played a B3 (not a C3) with a Leslie in the late 1960s and early 1970s on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We didn't have strippers - but we DID have "go-go" dancers. (I'm 75 now.)
Somebody please service her keybeds with new upstop felts! She plays with such dynamics the click becomes obvious. She also plays with enthusiasm and skill. Was fun to watch!
I am very happy to see and hear older, talented organists still performing! Very nice playing and keep on entertaining!! Blessings to you for sharing your gift!
Sounds really nice.❤ For the youngin’s wondering what songs that she played, here you go: 1. Home on the Range 2. When I Fall In Love 3. Frankie & Johnnie
So, according to you those who write on paper or read from a book are not really educated but those who can keep talking are educated! 😂 Music is also a language and just like any other languages, you can read it from sheet or write it on paper and by play by memory or pitch.
@@BodybuilderKingViky A pianist playing from sheet music will never achieve the expression of a pianist who knows the piece by heart. It's just like in the theatre. Or have you ever seen an actor with a piece of paper in his hand?
@@klauskruger6187 Mugging a music piece after playing it for 100 times and then performing it makes someone better? Really? The real talent and musicianship lies in performing a music piece by instant sight reading, extempore improvisation and by pitch realisation. I am a pianist and organist who does all this and my expression never lacks by playing from a sheet. All the great musicians from Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Müller, Brahms, Ravel, Debussy, Elgar and hundreds more did the same thing. An actor is incapable of remembering his monologues and dialogues apart from the ones he mugs up for a shoot and it takes hundreds of takes to do it in movies and TV while one might remember a role for the theatre the same goes for your brilliant musicians who can't read music. They keep learning pieces all their lives and then forgetting them and waste their time in perfecting them. What is better, a man capable of performing numerous compositions of any style, instantly one after the other or a man who learns 2 music pieces in a year and then forgets them after 2 years?
@@BodybuilderKingViky Have you ever picked up a guitar and composed a song and sung along? And let's say it was a big hit and you have played your song hundreds of times. Would you have always had a music stand in front of you? Or would you have known the song by heart at some point and played it without sheet music? Which version would the audience have liked better? The Beatles were the greatest composers of modern times. Do you think any of them could read music? But you are a classical pianist. So what do you do when a gust of wind comes and blows your sheet music away? Or how would it sound if a conductor said to his orchestra: "By now everyone should know what to play, so let's try it without sheet music!" After sufficient practice you would have a result that you could never have achieved with sheet music. If you're a professional, and there are really very complicated pieces, then I can understand it. But when children in a music school are taught that music can only be made with sheet music instead of just having them play or compose by ear, it makes me sick. I am a German. I recently saw a choir singing the German national anthem at a ceremony on TV. I'm sure every singer knew the melody, yet everyone looked at their sheet music. How can something like that happen?
@@klauskruger6187 Hummm. I don't know why but I think you're not getting my point. I never said that music should only be played by sight reading. That makes you equal to a typist. I have previously also mentioned in my replies that a musician is someone who can sight read, improvise (just perform by thinking) and play by pitch realisation (play by ear). I think you need to re-read my replies. Sight-reading performs an integral part of music learning, how else would have the great composers saved their beautiful creation for the generations to come and play? How are you going to save your compostion or discover someone else's, though we have a lot of recording technology for the same, now. As far as wind blowing my sheet is concerned. I play indoors mostly so no gust of wind comes there and if it does, I have clips and usually I play from heavy books that won't fly away. If in exceptional cases, that happens then I shall chase the wind and gather my sheets. 😂😂 Anyone who claims to compose music and say that they don't know the basics of music theory are either thieves who have stolen other's works or are liars. As far as teaching children to read music is concerned, it's the best thing to do. Do you want people only to talk and be illiterate, where they can't read or write? Aren't we all taught, English or German alphabets and grammar from childhood to learn that language and not make mistakes? I also wrote in my first reply that music is a language, and just like any other language, it has a script (notation) and theory and if you want to become a good overall musician, you should be able to read and write music too. There's no harm in it. It is not something additional that we will add to music and will spoil your talent of being a composer. I am not just a classical musician, I play all types of music from jazz to pop and classical and anything that someone might request or I feel like playing. I don't make distinction between music because all music is just formed of the 7 macro notes, it just depends how you create with it and what pleases your soul. As far as complex and lengthy music works are concerned, no one can play them just by ear. You need to learn from notation to be able to play it mugged or sight read. Good that you're German, I am not. I am an Indian. 👍
Que som lindo meu Deus, não canso de ouvir essa senhora toca muito bem não conheço esse órgão ainda estou encantada...sou organista, seria um sonho tocar em órgão desse😊 Deus abençoe grandemente
So wonderful to see and hear. I am 83 and still play. I had a similar Hammond organ . The sound is unmatched by anything else . I wish I had never changed mine for a modern instrument . It lacks the soul of the Hammond . Enjoy your music and that lovely instrument .
@@isaacburdiss Good luck in your search . They are wonderful. Nothing comes close . They do turn up on eBay but do make sure it's in good order . Not always easy to get them fixed these days . Enjoy your music .
beautifull indeed, i love the sound of the hammond organ. i was tryint to figure out if it's a C3 or an RT3 but i couldn't tell since i didn't see the carving on the side panelss and is not an RT3 because i did not see a 32 bass pedals ither. thanks for sharing such of beautifull playing
I like the C3 hammond, Cor Steyn from Holland (1965) played also the C3 hé was a realy master and there are also many youtube video's from Cor Steyn hé had his own style like playing...
What a beautiful sounding C3! She runs it with two Leslies it looks like. Most likely a 122 or 147 and a 415! I owned a 415 at one point, a great sounding cabinet.
When I'm 86, I am going to be doing the same thing! Priceless!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Hello Rachel
That would be fun to watch
How are you doing today?
It is good to see this lady at the bench.... may She be blessed by our Heavenly Father above to play for years to come.....
You got it still, I know cause I'm still playing theatre organ at 87. You can't beat this hobby to save your soul and keep you young. I'd love to play duets with you sweety.
No one can explain a musician's feeling, but everyone can feel it!..lovely lady!
She looks like an embodiment of senior sports, with fitness machines, dumbbells and all that goodness. As a result, she lives a much healthier life.
I play piano, but could never play the organ. Two keyboards, foot pedals, knobs and switches. This lady has my respect.
You might surprise yourself! Plus, the newer keyboards have tons of "help" to get you going.
Me, too. And looking at her decorations and white hair makes me think of my dear mom.
My Dad is 92 - still plays by ear for Church-organ or piano- it’s a blessing this Lady can play - read notes 🎶 ( which is not easy) to coordinate the organ music & pedals Praise Him!!
Hardly nothing beats the sound of an old fashioned Hammond organ. I could listen to this lady all day long.
Nothing comes close to a Hammond worh drawbar.
That beautiful vibrato sound only from a Hammond organ!
Absolutely lovely, well done darling! Love you! 💕💕🌺🌺🌺
It must be wonderful when you can still enjoy making beautiful music at the age of 86. Really lovely to watch and listen ...
Oh my gosh she’s ADORABLE and plays so beautufully😍
Aww, how lovely. I can see how much satisfaction and peace this lady gets from this, and also how anybody who hears her playing will feel the same. Thank you for posting this.
Sounding sooo good, Laurieanne!! Thank you so much for sharing your love of music and talent with us.
brings back so many memories the great C3, bless Laurieanne x
Beautifull played and very nice warm Hammond sound, great !
Tears, love from The Netherlands
She really blessed my soul…❤
I have goosebumps listening to this lady play bless her!😉
Hello Sharon
How are you doing today?
That adorable way she looks up and smiles with a little chuckle reminds me of my grandma. Looked just like that and wound so that same thing exactly when she noticed you.
Brings back memories. I used to play a Hammond!
Hello Donna
How are you doing today?
She really sounds great. !!! 🤗🤗🤗
Superb, this is where it's at! 🙏🙏🙏
The best thing I have watched today. Keep it up Ma'am 👏
its the music flowing from her that is the life force she is still using. love the leslie lifted, so the bass is moving her bones.
Two Leslie speakers! My goodness, what an instrument. Very well done, I enjoyed that a lot, thanks for posting.
A Hammond and a Leslie cabinet. Can't beat that combo. I played a B3 (not a C3) with a Leslie in the late 1960s and early 1970s on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We didn't have strippers - but we DID have "go-go" dancers. (I'm 75 now.)
They're pretty nice to lug around.
I also noticed the Leslie behind her, and was hoping she would kick it in a time or two. But still, as always, a Hammond can stand on its own.
A unique sound played masterfully.
Great job! I hope I will still play that well when I am 86!
Magnifique organiste et avec un sourire radieux ! A son âge c'est merveilleux de la voir jouer ainsi ! Merci madame pour votre prestation.
very listenable music , she really enjoys playing!
Hammond Organ will be always beautiful to hear and you are a Truly Virtuoso !!
Reminds me of my late sister who played a Hammond. She had the Leslie on the floor not elevated.
Thanks for sharing! Hope to hear more!
more videos of this lady please.. 🥰
Love the Hammond sound, thank you
Everything in this video it is just beautiful!
she's still got it!
It’s great hearing this woman playing this beautiful organ. I want to follow her on the bench and play it too.
I love it, to she she's still at it has made my day.... Thank you for sharing, I have really enjoyed!
I have always loved beautiful organ music.
I love the sound of a Hammond been listening since I was a teenager
So beautiful, thank you ❤🐱
Nicely done 👍
She looks good for 86, awesome job!
Sure is a nice mellow sound. Thanks for sharing with my support for more.
So wonderful!! ❤️👏🏼
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
you're AMAZING Laurieanne! You're my new favorite Organist. Keep on playing!!
Hört sich klasse an sie spielen sehr gut.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺👍👍💒⛪💒⛪💒⛪💒🍁💒
It's such a beautiful performance🌹🌹🌹
This is awesome
Bravo 😍👏👏👏
Hello Ruth
How are you doing today?
Go girl!
Lovely played and so full of expression. Nothing sounds like a real leslie. Better only is TWO of them standing behind you!😳😳😳🇩🇪🤝
Somebody please service her keybeds with new upstop felts! She plays with such dynamics the click becomes obvious.
She also plays with enthusiasm and skill. Was fun to watch!
Fantástico de como apesar da idade ela explora perfeitamente os controles do órgão Hammond permitindo uma performance maravilhosa na interpretação.
Wow! I love this so much. She plays so lovely.
Musik hält Jung. Danke.!!!
Amazing. Well done lady!
I feel my soul vibrating.....❤
I am very happy to see and hear older, talented organists still performing! Very nice playing and keep on entertaining!! Blessings to you for sharing your gift!
Amazing!!!
That was great! I'd love to hear her play a wind blown theater organ.
The Hammond organ is an electric organ invented by Laurens Hammond and John M. Hanert and first manufactured in 1935.
Hammond organs were used a lot in the 1930s and 40s accompanying the old time radio programs.
Sounds really nice.❤ For the youngin’s wondering what songs that she played, here you go:
1. Home on the Range
2. When I Fall In Love
3. Frankie & Johnnie
Great playing! So smooth.
Gotta love those Leslie speakers!!!
She plays everything without sheet music. Just by memory and hearing. These are the real musicians.

Go grandma! You put a real cheerful smile on my face!😇
Great Playing
My pastor would play this back in the early eighties in our church beginnings. Now she sings with the praise team. She’s 76 now
Oh wow.
She's brilliant and that organ sound oh wow.
Amazing performance. Kudos to you dear @ Karen Scot💯💯💯❤👏👏👏
Good! Keep playing and keep young!

In the beginning of this video, it sounded like one of the old hymns at my church that I haven't heard in a very long time.
That first piece was 'Home on the Range'
She plays absolutely wonderful. 🎼

Bravo madame merci, j'adore cette sonorité, j'aurai tellement voulu être musicien, il est tard maintenant avec mes 64 ans je me permais un bisous
Rocking it!!! Scary... I think I know every song she is performing so beautifully. Well done.
REQUEST: Can we do this weekly? I'm serious!! 😊🎹👍
Would you mind listing the song names? I recognize some of them from my childhood but I can’t remember the names!
@@henningsonandreas first one is "Home On the Range"... I'm trying to remember that name of the others.
#3 is Frankie and Johnny
Playing an instrument keeps you young and your mind alive and involved. I don't envy her technician though when the Leslie(s) need servicing. :o)
What is this woman's channel. Magnificent!
