My organ/piano teacher (John Baratta) has decided that I am finally ready to read a full theatre organ arrangement. I have made large strides on reading three lines of music so I now can attempt a good arrangement. We decided on "I saw the Harbor Lights" arranged by Ashley Miller. There is such wonderful harmonies in the arrangement. He did so much with so few notes. I wish I had gotten to know him better before he passed away.
Speaking of Ashley Miller, I ran into Jerry Mendelson at a GSTOS picnic recently. He was a student of Ray Bohr and played at Radio City Music Hall with Dick Liebert and Ashley Miller. A talkative guy with so many great stories to tell.
