Good stuff! Always enjoy hearing you play.

the first 10 seconds take me back, you really capture it. Like I'm 10 years old in the living room at midnight, I can almost feel the snow coming down!

Few things are as enjoyable to me as a well-functioning, well-tuned band organ. Wonderful!

Yay! It's Ben. I go back and listen to your SNL theme video often.

Nice, Ben! John Kiley would be proud! You should become resident organist for the Bruins,etc. More band organ and solo videos would be nice!

Tunes 3,4 roll 6827

One of Mr. Stinson's very best friends, Jerry Betts (my one-time next door neighbor) would have LOVED this video!! Thanks for posting this gem!

I'm still coming back for listens.

Hey do you think you could do the USA and Canada anthems in that style? :)

I like your B.A.B music better.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like George Harrison? I think so.

😊

4:36 Poor cherub looks catatonic! But seriously, this is an amazing band organ. I really like its voicing!

Love this organ!

Amazingly the artwork hasn’t been painted over! There was a beautiful Illions carousel in Seaside Heights that got the amateur repaint on the rounding board. The thing was dismantled and auctioned off in pieces in the late 80s. It had a beautiful B.A.B. Organ on it which mysteriously disappeared at some point. I have the last playable roll in my possession. Style 66, Roll #044. Arranged by J. Lawrence Cook of QRS fame.

Great video really gives you the flavor of the experience! Is there still a carousel out in Newton?

Pretty remarkable how big that carousel is! The walk around the perimeter gives an idea. So hard to find these carousels and working organ in the modern era! Thanks for posting!

This feels like the end credits when you beat Mario Kart

I went today it sounds so bad most of the notes don’t want to play right

Does anybody know how many rolls cp has total

Any more videos from that day?

It’s sounding pretty good! Hope you get more of those great B.A.B. arrangements recorded. Thanks!

more to come

yes fingers crossed as well. right

Are you joking? This sounds like someone playing the accordion. Horrible.

Ben Opening day is tomorrow for crescent park

copyright problems if I use this online?

Hey Ben, do you have a version of this without the sax solo in it?

You’re so close dude- keep the tempo the same it is a the minute twenty second mark. Great work

it is 2023 and it is still a great rendition.

awesome!

Hi this is Evan I just you have 165 rolls number say 6512. And I want to do the video all of the 6512 rolls song

Hello everyone I should want to get that stinson organ because it is my favorite style it will be ok you can sell it

Hello anyone who may be reading this. This organ was made by my great grandfather, Donald Stinson back in.. I am not even sure, he just use to always tell me about his organs when I was growing up, I remember we went to this organ one time back in 2013 or so. I am just glad seeing how much everyone still enjoys his organs all these years later (:

Still one of the finest and fastest merry-go-rounds in the world. How do we know? If you watch any horse and rider on this carousel reappear after one revolution, it takes 12 seconds. Divide that into 60 seconds or one minute and that yields a phenomenal speed of 6 RPM. Also a fully functioning ring machine with brass rings for free rides. May Sandy Libman's memory live on, orchestrion music roll connoisseur.

Was this Ruth 38 damaged? I usually recognize a Ruth organ by it's high pitched and elegant pipes!

Have you heard from the Griffith park merry go round yet

Watched SNL on 1-7-23 & decided how to get around the playing of the sign off song for “10 seconds” by listening to a whole version on my computer! (& yes I watched Megan thee stallion for her thighs and butt; not the BS rap she was spewing!)

Ben, can you tell us which season this is from? I've been looking for the theme with the amen break.

Nice band organ but the tempo should be slowed. Good job hunting down these still functioning carousels and band organs. An endangered species!

The main organ figure's arm doesn't move anymore :( and I think the system that connects the 2 sides to the organ is loose on the bass drum/cymbal side.

Also can't hear any clanking sounds from the motor, I think when they have it fast, you can't hear the "clank clank clank" between songs. I do know the organ wasn't operating for 4 years until it got "repaired" but it can't always play. That's probably the reason for the speed.

wonderfully done, and thank you for this! 🐻

Band organ sounds like it needs some antibiotics.

I’m old enough to remember when a moment of silence lasted 60 seconds too!😅😅😅

This Ruth must be built back to the 38 Ruth scale. Only than you can listen to a majestueus organ.

You are epic and awesome! So cool!
