My Melancholy Baby

R.I.P. Bo Hansson

Bo Hansson, the Swedish organist and composer has died.

He was probably most well known for his 'Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings' and for being one part of the duo Hansson & Karlsson (their rare flexi Ep's is a part of one of PCL's compilations here - you can also see some groovy clips with the band here in this swedish tv special).
His music and his vision definitively deserves to be more recognized.
R.I.P.


'Leaving Shire' (Sagan Om Ringen (Lord Of The Rings))


'At the House of Elrond & The Ring Goes South' (Sagan Om Ringen (Lord Of The Rings))


'Waiting ...' (Mellanväsen (Attic Thoughts))

Snappy tunes for organ ensemble from Marty Gold of the Three Suns--and that album cover is pretty snappy, too.

The Hartz Mountain Master Radio Canary Choir

You haven't heard Strauss and Dvorak (or the Mexican Hat Dance) until you have heard it scored for organ, marimba and canary choir. Even if you have no canaries who need voice training, you may want to download this one just to drive your cat nuts.

UPDATE 2/14/10: I just found out the organist on this album is Dick Hyman. He talks about playing on this album here.

Sequence Time

Thank you Slothy for this very excellent album of danceable tunes by Dennis Hayward. At first glance I thought there was a bunch of "snow" on Dennis' keyboard as was the case for many keyboards in the seventies. Then I saw it was just an abraded record cover, surely from Slothy clutching it lovingly to his bosom.

Cherry Wainer - 'The Happy Organ'

Love the poodle! Be sure to check out Cherry and Don Storer's other videos, including Green Onions and Night Train.

Go Away Little Girl, I'm Playing My SynthaSwinger 1700

Perhaps at this very moment you are contemplating purchase of the new-for-1974 SynthaSwinger 1700 organ from Kimball. Then you will surely be interested in the Kimball organ demo record designed to convince you that the built in rhythm machine and dramatic effects will provide you with many hours of entertainment, not to mention instant popularity.

Korla Pandit

I've been in a Korla Pandit mood lately. He hypnotizes me! I'm not lucky enough to have seen him, but a bunch of my friends have, because he lived to a ripe old age (Tim Burton put him in 'Ed Wood' playing himself.) Pandit had a daily show in Los Angeles in the 1950s where he batted his eyelashes at housewives and became a minor sensation. I can see why. But I think I love him even more because he was a big phony - he was born John Roland Redd in Missouri. He tried the name "Juan Rolando" before settling on the turban, a faux exotic background, and the name he'd stick with for the rest of his life. Check out his website for all kinds of info and goodies.
