"CABARET" Played On The 1929 Wurlitzer @ the Orpheum Theater - Phoenix, AZ
This is a highly edited video of Cabaret played on the 1929 Wurlitzer. I was dead tired from doing photographic work for the Valley of the Sun (VTOS) Chapter of the American Theater Organ Society (ATOS) and definitely not overly pleased with my performance.
This is my first time to sit at this Might Wurlitzer Theater Organ - hopefully, not my last - and it was a blast. This is one very sweet instrument. If I only had the $$ to own one myself!!

Riding Usery Pass Rd & Bush Highway (Southern Arizona)
It's typically a 55 minute ride from Apache Junction, AZ to the junction of Bush Highway & AZ-87; however with judicious editing and slight increase in playback speed, the scenic ride over Usery Pass and then onto Bush Highway is only 18+ minutes.
Enjoy the ride...
