    You know they're good when they're not reading sheet music.

    As ALWAYS, stunning! Perhaps one of the most unappreciated stellar organists today due to lack of proper exposure. Patrick, I'm friends with many of the organ world stars on facebook and I ALWAYS share your videos. We've got to get you out there among those stars as you're one of them for sure! How I wish that I could play like you brother....

      I could not agree more. Probably one of the best service organists in the USA!

    I really wish there was a transcription of this (and most of everything else Dr. Alston does). My spirit is touched mightily hearing him play and it would be fun to do some personal playing on my pipe organ with this style. Thank you for sharing this.

    The link between console and pipe organ ( control stops, manuals and pedals ) use binary units( 0 and 1 ), and the console have probably MIDI interface. Piano Sound and B3 Tone Wheel organ, are sampled on a MIDI expander trigged by console

    Holy Moses! As
    soon as I saw this dude I knew what I was in store for,
    a great "black soul," stirring performance. But this exceeded all expectations.
    A truly immortal
    performance!
    I realize this is an improvisation,
    but I'm sure you
    are aware you
    have come up
    with an arrangement
    " for the ages,"
    and have written down
    note-for-note,
    what came to
    your inspired mind and soul
    as you played,
    so lesser mortals can play this master
    full version from sheet music, copyrighted by
    you, although I
    feel God holds the copyrights, in essence; the
    work is just that
    glorious! As someone once
    declared: "God reserved the greatest tunes for Himself!"
    This video is a sui generis example of the
    above quote.
    Brother, if we could earn our
    way to Heaven,
    what you accomplished
    with this riveting and chilling performance
    would get you
    a free first-class class ticket for entrance inside
    those " pearly
    gates!" I know it
    does not work
    that way, but just saying. I hope the Divine
    Creator of All
    Things grants you those extra years to
    continue your
    illustrious work.
    Augustus Montague Top-
    lady who wrote
    the lyrics for
    ROCK OF AGES
    only lived to the
    age of 38, so who knows what the future
    holds. We only
    know who holds the future.

      Jennifer Quinones99 It’s a church organ, but Rodgers and also Allen have different voicing options, and theater organ is one of them. I don’t know but maybe that Rodgers has something built in to be able to make it sound like a Hammond. With an Allen, you can maybe have at least 4 or 5 different organ stop options, based on a theater organ, an English Cathedral organ, etc., with their own separate stop lists, so you have an instrument that is at least 3 or 4 organs in one (which come with it, and other ones that are optional.)
