"Dancing in the Dark" we should hear more often! Lovely!
Theres something magical about a wonderful theatre organ and a great player like mark. Thanks😊slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
It is absolutely stunning, what these organ guys can play. All by heart, no playback, no MIDI, and with a collection of switches more than a jet plane.
Most impressive to me is Mark's ability to coax a convincing string sound from an organ. Bravo.
The Boy Next Door is just so nice to hear, one of the best show tunes ever.
Herman Barkwood
Only in my dreams could my playing sound anywhere near like Mr. Herman's wonderful performance. Thank you Mark.
The perfect combination of room acoustic, instrument and artist! Over this past year, I’ve really become a devotee of Mark Herman’s artistry and arrangements style. To quote a line from “Auntie Mame” he’s “Top Drawer”! 😄 As an avid consumer of TO recordings I definitely hear stylistic influences in his playing from the likes of Johnny Seng, Simon Gledhill, George Wright, Billy Nalle, Jim Riggs and maybe some Buddy Cole and yes even Jesse Crawford too thrown in for good measure. Even though he’s got these wonderful influences to draw from, he never outright copies any of them. He’s got his very own singular style which is a defining feature of a modern console artist. Bravo Mark! Kudos also to Dickinson Theatre Organ Society for stepping up their production game with advanced video and sound making these virtual concerts more accessible to the internet world! And of course, there aren’t enough superlatives to describe the fabulous 3/66 Dickinson Kimball. So I won’t. Suffice it to say, this instrument is in my top five pipe organs that I really wish sometime soon to sing with in performance. 😉😉
While enjoying Mark's always superb playing, I'm pleasantly surprised to see your mention of Billy Nalle. I knew him well during his years in Wichita KS. Immensely enjoyed his unique style and personality. From his years in NYC, Billy knew the Paramount organ in Wichita maybe better than anyone and coaxed the most remarkable sounds from it.
Mr. Herman is a spectacular organist and pianist.
Fantastic performance on a wonderful instrument.
Fabulous Performance From Mark, The Organ Sounding As Good As Ever and First Class Presentation.
Wow, what a brilliant performance from Mark. All credit to the folk who keep this fantastic instrument in such tip-top condition. Thanks to DTOS and all involved in putting this together, the sound and video was tremendous. Well worth staying up for (UK).
So, nearly 10 months on and I keep coming back to this awesome recording.
My only wish is that perhaps in the future it might be possible for the registrations to be on, perhaps, a 'closed caption' track or something, though I realise it's a tall order. it's just that Mark's registrations are so fantastically colourful - perhaps it's just me! Thanks all the same for several months (to date) of wonderful listening.
Oh, and thank you for your wonder tribute to HRH The Prince Philip, Duke (born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, later Philip Mountbatten) & Vera Lynn - as a brit I find it still touching, even now.
EDIT: 'Memories of you' he has that tpt lead line lip trill off to a tee (speaking as a tpt player - brilliant)
Mark just performed on our Spreckels Outdoor pipe organ in San Diego, CA, for Silent Movie night and the next day for our regular Sunday afternoon recital.
He is truly amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed his playing. Thank you Mark.

Simply gorgeous loving it from Melbourne Australia 👍🙏
Today is Walt Disney night; so I thank Mark Herman for adding Disney tunes to this video
Wonderful playing. I was distressed by the picture showing all the empty seats. I am glad that does not stop people like Mark from the organ. Thank you to all organists for entertaining us.
66 Ranks WOW, that would make this one of the largest theater organs anywhere! LOVE IT!!! SO ELEGANT SOUNDING (The room is also great).
Mark is indeed a treasure!
Helluva show!!
My gracious, what a fantastic performance, full of rhythmic vitality and sensitive musicality, just marvelous and at a level quite beyond the normal. Mark, I just love your work and so enjoy listening to all your concerts, also your delightful evenings from your home at your piano, another example of your gifted musicianship. There are many who would gain much by studying your command of the organ, always displaying an extraordinary level of care, thought and accuracy, especially your rhythmic control and attention to phrasing details. Thank you so much for all that you do for the instrument we all love so much, speaking off which, the Dickinson instrument is now one of my favorite, what a gorgeous beast, she just sings her heart out with you at the console, truly an instrument of unique musical beauty, no doubt about that. Again, all my thanks Mark for a spellbinding evening of musical delight. I will be making a contribution to DTOS in due course, this with my deepest appreciation...take care. Adrian in Bermuda.
Thanks also for the Dame Vera Lynn/British tribute!
enjoying tremendously, thanks to Mark for his music (choices and performance) and all involved in this wonderful presentation (Sunday morning concert, listening in Tiel, the Netherlands 🇳🇱) 👏👏👏
I had the privilege of seeing Mark play and meeting him at a concert in Wichita a couple of years ago! An absolutely fantastic organist and humble man!
Loved it What more can I say except More please.
Wonderful
Where in heck have they found room for 66 ranks behind those tiny tone holes?!?!
It was a great instrument at 28 ranks.
America!
Two melodies from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs & one is also available on the Suite Sounds Historique 3 CD.
The video was also uploaded the same day I got the Baby Dolittle Neighborhood Animals 2002 VHS with Bonus Soundtrack CD.
How many times can you get goosebumps?? MANY! Thank you!
As a fairly new devotee of Mark Herman in both organ and piano mode it is a delight to listen to this. Whilst we have some fabulous players here in England Mark’s wonderful style is so refreshing. All things being well we hope to see him when he comes over here next year. Thanks for the music Mark. Regards, Tony Oliver
Sounding great as always... Both Mark and the Kimball!
Mark I have just one word ... AWESOME!
Wonderful again Mark. Hope to see you there when we can all get out from under all of these restrictions.
1500 songs committed to memory! Probably including the lyrics, judging by how much he matches phrasing to the words. It's hard to grasp all that's going on in that brain of his as he brings so much skill and beauty to each and every performance. Thank you Mark.
Incredible job Mark!
These keep on getting better and better. Amazing venue and artist. He’s personable, knowledgeable, humorous, gifted, but seemingly down to earth and able to convey information for us amazingly well. You know hold the prize for one of my most favorite of all theatre organ arrangements of any song, “Dancing In The Dark” Just enough chord modulations to keep it interesting without making it bizarre. Ive said a few times, if there’s any silver lining to covid, we get to hear all these wonderful installation as we would in a concert environment, from all over over world. Stunning. Thank you Mark.
Memories of You was Benny Goodman's theme song if I remember right.
Thank you, thank you! Loved every minute of it!
shared in FB with a big smile 😊 (a note about the song @ 16 minutes was included!) 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful concert. Thank you.
BRAVO!!!
With all those tunes in his head, how does Mark sleep?
Super excellent with very good interesting video
That was AWSOME!
Seems to me I'm hearing a cross between Jesse Crawford and George Wright (who I had the great pleasure of meeting many years ago.) Outstanding performance on a phenomally good instrument that sounds to be perfectly maintained.
Great concert! Sounds as if that Kimball has been Wurlitzerized some since I last heard it in person back in 1980.
Apart from Mark's brilliant playing (as usual) I must comment on the camera installation that allows such thorough coverage of the performance.
Dealt adds so much to the show !
