Miditzer Music-Best of the month

[Dan Rowland]

     I know that I have proven many times what a hell of a mess I can make with a tune on my clunker miditzer with little or no response from anyone  which is probaby better not said.  The same holds true for the only other 2 or 3 contributors who in my opinion do much better than I.  My point in contributing has more to do with registrations than artistry for sure, to demonstrate some of the infinite registration possibilities.
     I would assume that out of the thousands of miditzers that have been built that there are many excellent organists who own them.  Even if you aren't excellent organists (me included) myself and all the rest of us would like to hear your miditzers play and if you are that good all the better.  It gives the rest of us confidence that we have invested wisely in a hobby that is more than worth the money spent.
    Should we initiate a "Best Of The month Club" effort to give us a sample of what can be done on miditzer?  I would hope that everyone would step forward to play a tune, not to be judged but to know who is out there and what friends can do.  I love TO music and apparently so do the rest of us or we wouldn't have gotten into this hobby.  Lets hear it.  Let the fat lady sing or skinny ones too.  I'm not shy and I'm going bald.

Dan,

I think it's great that you have been posting some tunes.  Not everyone is a George Wright, so don't feel embarrassed at all about your playing.  Over the last few years, a number of us have shared our efforts.  Alan Baker has compiled a huge library of VTPO recordings which you can explore here:

You could say GW wasn't like me.  Sounds better.  I had forgotten about Alan Baker's website and he does have some excellent VTPO music there.

  My point was to get more folks involved.  I must be only one of many who are amazed at what miditzer has become and want everyone to hear what it can do.  Posting on Nabble would give us quick insight into the many talents we have.  Those files could then be transferred to Alan's website  if he chooses to do so to add to the great collection he already has.

  I may be barking up a dead tree but I for one would like to hear what others are doing so I can fiddle with my own to make mine sound like that.  I already have so many self revised GSP files because it always seems like a little fiddling will make it better. 

  I forgot to check yesterday's calender and missed a convention event last night.  Durn.  I am held in such high esteem in the theater organ world that I was asked to be an usher at the Akron Civic Theater.  What a disappointment.  Sorry Simon and Walt.

To extend my listening "area" of Theatre Organ music I have downloaded archive shows from: Hot Pipes! Show Archives . BTW, this show which originates from Valle Radio - Spain, hosted by Steve Ashley, is excellent. These archives are MP3 files, each current show being 1 hour in length.

 

I then loaded them unto an SD 4 GB card via an Amazon.com: 10-in-1 USB 2.0 High Speed Black Memory Card Reader Writer for SD . This writer/player device plugs into a USB 2.0 port and presently sells for $ .01 (no kidding) plus a reasonable shipping cost. A simple task to drag the MP3 files from the computer to an SD card.

 

I then plug this SD card into MP3 Player With FM Transmitter with Remote which plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car. It "broadcasts" stereo to the car's FM radio (many channels available - just pick an unused channel) with very good stereo quality. This above MP2 player also accepts a USB device, has a headset connector and comes with a remote control. So for under $30 USD, I can take my TO music with me and play it in any car. Especially nice with rental cars when I travel. I should mention the SD card does not come with the player. I happened to have a 4 GB SDHC which I have only partially filled with slightly more than 60 hours of TO recordings.

Something about "great minds? I almost broke my arm trying to pat myself on the back.

 

I have several SD cards available depending on which type of music I want to listen to. Problem is keeping track of those little "guys".BTW, I found quite reasonably priced 4 GB SDHC cards here:

Amazon.com: Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No
