Pop Choice

April brought our attention back to an old mountain cabin sampling session of a $36 Lowrey Carnival organ that our dear old departed friend Dennis helped cart back in his truck from the valley Salvation Army a few years back.

We've mentioned this one before, but it's really done now, so here 'tis:

This one goes out to you, Dennis, though I think a guitar-based tune a la Johnny Cash would have floated your boat more.

This song is one of several coming over the next few months based around this organ, which has super cool beats and great little lead sounds. Not bad at all for a behemoth marketed to the masses of middle aged and middle class folks back in the day.

The bass, rhythm, and lead lines here all come from the Carnival, with the exception of some additional rhythmic bits. For good measure, there's a healthy does of Mellotron at the end, and bits of Wurlitzer Electronic Piano sprinkled throughout.

Holy cow. It's May already and a few new ones are on the stove-top. The Sirens will direct us on our journey here over the next weeks.
