Organ Master

We love a man with a large organ. Find us one who, with only a few fast flicks of his magical fingers, is internationally known for sensational, thundering sounds that can send pulsating waves throughout our bodies, and we will be entertained for hours. Oh, yes, we’re talking about Don...

We love a man with a large organ. Find us one who, with only a few fast flicks of his magical fingers, is internationally known for sensational, thundering sounds that can send pulsating waves throughout our bodies, and we will be entertained for hours. Oh, yes, we’re talking about Don Thompson, the world-traveling organist who has played in more than twenty countries, and he will be rocking the Olympia Theater’s Mighty Wurlitzer at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts tonight at 7:30. Accompanying Thompson’s performance will be the 1913 silent film Barney Oldfield’s Race for a Life and a rousing sing-along.
