Ok, I've been indulging in web sites which document the weirder recorded efforts of the American scene, and I've found references to at least two records which are by restaurant organ players.Do any of our American number recall restaurants with organ players in residence? Was this a wide-spread phenomenon, or perhaps localised in the Midwest?
Truly cheezy renditions of dad's favourites usually played on three-keyboard electric organs with more switches than a 1970's Pioneer receiver.
Any memories?
