Grandpa Spells
I am now able to "Grandpa Spells" by Jelly Roll Morton on the organ. I always used to struggle with it so much. I guess the technique things in my lessons are paying off. I was given my first piece of this music by Bill Gage when I was on on the organ crew and he played at the old Stanley Theatre in Newark, NJ. Which had become The Center For Italian Culture. It was a nice 3/12 (I think) Wurlitzer. At the time we had removed the organ from the Fabian Theatre in Paterson and were building chambers in Newark for it. I am not sure what happened but I have heard that the Fabian organ is now in storage in England somewhere. It was a beautiful at least 4 manual organ with a floating string division.
