A close family friend still to this day (I believe) plays the Phantom of the Opera silent film in his basement theater, while he plays the organ in a pit below the projection screen. Haven't lived up there for years, but I still miss that. Fred has a 5-rank Wurlitzer pipe organ with its multiple rooms full of pipes and equipment in his basement. It's truly a sight to see. He does other films too, here's a little example:As to what I will do today......I listened to the Bach pipe organ piece that I know as the theme from "Phantom of the Opera." WOW! What a way to start the day!
Here's a taste of the Bach piece. It is a rendition which omits the massive low note at the beginning of the piece. That sucker opens up the HUGE low note of a pipe organ and wiil rattle the windows!
