Using YouTube

When I have been struggling with the arrangement of a tune to make it sound right on the organ, sometimes, I go to YouTube to see what other people have done with it. Since the theatre organ is a "Unit Orchestra", it is good to hear various arrangements of the same tune played by different type of musicians on various instruments or by various groups. If one wants to listen to different arrangements, it is easy to get well over 15 different on YouTube... especially if you are searching for a classic. Recently I have researched "Harlem Nocturne" and "Willow Weep for Me" and have found many very different arrangements of the same tune. Try it out.
