      @@haywardh8 Haha I'm a fan of the Cribs series and I have to agree that this episode takes the cake. 47 minutes never passed so fast. I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into restoring the Wurly organ and giving it a new home. To think that this beautiful instrument was gathering dust in some warehouse in Reno and now it's being used on major scores again is truly inspiring. Respect!

    Yes true, the studio and instruments are cool. But I have to say that Nathan Barr is way out there brilliant. To conceive this, then have the commitment to build it, and to be the patriarch of it all - this guy has some serious talent and is worth every cent they are paying him. Congrats, Nathan. The studio is a masterpiece, but so are you, man. Thanks for this Cribs. I learn so much from these pros!

I was led here from being so impressed by the wonderful music in "The Americans" and trying to find out more about the incredible talent of Nathan Barr since I didn't know him as a composer. I think a large part of the success of "The Americans" is due to the perfect musical score and selections that complement the action so perfectly. Thank you Nathan Barr!!!
