      Hi, My name is Kevin, I play organ and am still taking lessons, I live about 2 miles from a Movie theater in Col. Heights Mn. This family owned Movie house has an organ that does just that, and yes it is still operable They bring it out every weekend and let any competent organist to play, I do not know all the specifics about this organ, but I am going to try to find out as much as I can and maybe even play it. God Bless. Kevin

    These wonderfully appealing songs, reflect happiness in their appeal to us years after their original popularity. Heard on this fine Wurlitzer, in Robert's arrangements, and by his skills of registration and sympathetic performance, we are rich for their hearing. It is a delight to have this video for ongoing uplifting, as these songs had effect in their earlier unhappy days. Robert, thank you for your contribution to the enjoyment you bring to others. Bless you and those you love.

      Robert has been playing this particular instrument for decades. He knows the instrument inside and out. As you say, one is an extension of the other. He's the sound of that instrument now, others have played it, recorded it and coaxed very different sounds from it to superb effect, but Roberts style of playing and registration has become part of it.
