My concert was a rousing success

[TrogL]

I played a concert last night with a local amateur group (sorry, can't get more detailed).

First half of the concert, one of the pieces was a salute to Broadway shows including The Phantom of the Opera. I played the theme on a huge pipe organ. It shook the building.

Later I played a variety of synthensizers in a combo (me, piano, drums and bass) accompanying a choir performing excerpts from Les Misérables. I was doing the orchestral parts and some synthesizer effects. For the finale, I switched back to pipe organ.

It was the hit of the evening and got a good three minutes' applause with whistling and shouting.

I'll post some pics later.

1. cool

did you dress up like the phantom? those pipe organs are way cool. in fact there was/is a manufacture and restorer of pipe organs where i live,the place burnt to the ground several years ago and i`m not sure they ever opened up again. ever heard of a Powell pipe organ..he built alot of pipes around the midwest back in the day...

2. Never heard of them by I can ask around

I had thought about a cape, but it was an otherwise serious concert and I didn't want to get a laugh.

The audience was scared enough as it is - they know what happens when I get on that thing.

3. Strange thing at the end

I was in the back hallway and one of the stagehand's radios went off and I swore it said "there's a naked man at the back door - please deal with it".

I really wonder about my fans some days.

5. In my next life

I will play a pipe organ and it will set off the seismographs.

In the meantime - glad you could do it and the audience loved it!
