Hi Everyone: I have enjoyed the memories etc. that have appeared on my screen and also enjoyed many of the comics etc. in my far-distant youth. But Muriel's letter about organs has driven me to reply. I too enjoy organ music mainly because of my organ playing husband but do remember the rising and falling organ in the Regal in Uxbridge. We did spend time in Blackpool a few years ago on one of our trips, to see the Illuminations and visit the Tower Ballroom which has a rising and falling Wurlitzer (at least it did when we were there, they have a different one now) and several excellent organists our favourite being Phil Kelsall. Here in Canada we have an excellent Kimball pipe organ in a church in Kingston, Ont. and we belong to the Kingston Theatre Organ Club and have enjoyed many of their concerts with organists from the U.S., the U.K. and Canada. My husband was also very much involved with the rebuilding of another pipe organ in an historic cinema in Renfrew, Ont. This, we believe, is the only cinema organ actually in a cinema in Canada. The Ottawa Valley Theatre Organ Society have the ambition to open up the original organ pit so that it too can go up and down and thrill the kids! I agree that pipe organs in churches and cathedrals have a very special sound that is unreproduceable by anything else and is a very uplifting experience even if one is not very knowledgeable about classical music. More power to your memories Muriel they are a very good trigger for the rest of us. Barbara Adair. P.S. I will be in New Zealand in February 2005 and would like a phone number to be able to contact you and take you out to lunch, how about it?
