I have been struggling with playing by ear for yearscwith very little luck. A number of years ago I worked out "Happy Birthday" because so many people have asked me to play it. This morning while eating breakfast at the diner, I figured out "Let's all go to the lobby." sitting at the counter with no keyboard. I couldn't wait to get home and play it. I only had one phrase partially wrong. Wow.. i am very proud of myself. It is strange that I always work them out inthe key of F. I will have to work out my repertoire of two ear songs in other keys. Off we go...
I have been very interested in theatre organs and their music since the 1970s. I recently purchased new Allen 3-manual theatre organ (Q-311 sp.) I also play an Allen LL324 which is at Bristol Glen (a local retirement village.) It was purchased in memory of my mom. This blog is a diary of my theatre organ adventures.
