What a fantastic theatre organ Dorothy got set up on the registration of this big old Thomas organ at a retirement residence we performed at in November 2018! She's in her prime for 83 too doing shout outs and using me to lead her sing alongs since at the point she was losing her wind power to carry all vocals. Three months after this show, I was actually afraid to take her out on tour anymore due to her increasing inability to walk and breathe. Looking back now, however, I think it's pretty incredible that I got her 'out there' at this point doing what she did at this show and that she pulled herself together enough to do this. Her organ-keyboard maneuvres were great and the audience love it. Her organ-concert hero was Ethel Smith, big time pop organist in the mid 20th century. This is a small sample of the several hundred times we went out to play in front of retirement crowds either for Fletcher Music Center, Schroeders Organ & Piano or on our own.
