Don Baker & New York Paramount Organ
By George Bogatko

I know this isn't exactly MMD material, but I found a 78-rpm record of
Don Baker playing on the New York Paramount Organ, when it was still in
the New York Paramount.  The example is "Tea For Two", and shows just
how very good he was.

His rhythm is excellent, and that's astounding given the difficulty of
playing a large organ in a large hall and still keep good time.  Follow
the "new" link on the WWW page, or go directly to:

Cheers,

George Bogatko
