2305.0. "Hockey" by MILKWY::JANZEN (Tom 2285421 FXO/28 Franklin MA) Mon Apr 02 1990 09:49

The old organist for the Whalers in Edmonton (a hockey team) have reduced
the old organist's time to 30% and brought in a 26-year-old music teaching
DX7 player who uses the patches in a more modern way.

This was on morning edition on wbur this morning.

2305.1Was that a DX7?PAULJ::HARRIMANbzzzzzzzTHWACK!hmmmmmmmMon Apr 02 1990 11:026

	He had a lousy drumbox. I would have thought it was one of those
	Yamma-Organ things.

2305.2and I'm a pedant,...DOOLIN::HNELSONTue Apr 03 1990 15:103
    I think "on morning edition ... this morning" is redundant.

2305.3IAMOK::CROWLEYSome call me.....TimTue Apr 03 1990 17:039
    REAL slight nit...?
    ????
    Whalers in Edmonton?  You mean the Whalers in Hartford, or the
    Oilers in Edmonton?  ;^) Or is this a junior team? :^)

    not that it matters! ;^)
    
2305.4War March of the GoaliesQUIVER::PICKETTDavid - Beware of the dogmaWed Apr 04 1990 10:2511
    Hmmm closest minor league team to Hartford that I know of is the New
    Haven Nighthawks (actually, I'm a Springfield Indians fan from a while
    back)
    
    ...but seriously
    
    Tom's note made me cringe. While theatre organ is an art form that the
    majority of the population won't miss when (not if) it dies, it is
    still a shame to see it so unceremoniously replaced.

2305.5Is This COMMUSIC or The Norts Spews?DRUMS::FEHSKENSWed Apr 04 1990 12:468
    It lives on, but in a different form - I have a D-50/550 RAM card full
    of theatre organ patches.
    
    I suppose it's not real though if it doesn't start as vibrating air
    rather than vibrating electrons.

2305.6theatre organ digressionFGVAXR::LAINGSoft-Core Cuddler*Jim Laing*282-1476Tue Apr 10 1990 00:075
    Yes, an "art form" that is not doing too well ... I belong to a
    group attempting to keep it alive, the ATOS (Americal Theatre
    Organ Society).  A real (i.e. pipe) theatre organ creates a sound I
    still wouldn't mind having on my electronic gear, along with all
    the other sounds I already use ... 
2305.7Take Me Out To The Ball GameAQUA::ROSTBass is the placeTue Apr 10 1990 09:2416
    
    According to the latest issue of the Roland User's Guide (V7-4), the
    official organist for the Philadelphia Phillies now is jamming with a
    Roland E-20, you know, the one with the "intelligent arranger".
    
    This guy is happening:
    
    "The first one (style card), with the stuff like Elvis did, is one of
    my favorites.  The second in the set has the Mexican rock, that gets
    used a lot."
    
    "We all get tired of the same old thing, so every year I like to go
    back in with a new trick,a new angle or musical delight to stiumulate
    the crowds."

    Gawd, what I wouldnt give for a good Fender Rhodes 
    patch.......

    about the same era. (no, not earned run average...)

2305.9JUNDA::SchuchardLove them death beep'sMon Apr 23 1990 17:509
        A real tragedy will occur when Chicago Stadium closes down in a couple
        of years where perhaps the grandest, most certainly loudest pipe
        organ in perhaps the world lives. A true wonder from the 20's that
        is built right into the stadium. No electronic amplification required
        ever... Very successful at hockey games!

2305.10what? no amplifiers??? that's some set o'pipes!NRPUR::MCCONNELLI will not *should* on myself...Tue Apr 24 1990 13:3614
    Bob,
    
    Is that the MONOLITH looking organ...seems to be gold leafed, about
    4 keyboards?
    
    I forget the game I was watching when they flashed to the organist.
    It was like something out of Mr. Phibes (or whatever that was called).

    BTW - is it just me, or does everyone realize that the Bruins are
    going to win the Stanley Cup?  ;-)
    
    Sorry...back to music..... ;-)
