It's Led Zeppelin, and it's Procol Harum, and it's amazing the old music that's playing.
Chris PlanteGUEST
And And if when we were kids, we were playing six-year-old music, would it be like Alexander's Ragtime Band? Al Jolson.

Once you achieve that, you have to maintain that.

Irving Berlin used to say, "The trouble with success is you gotta keep on being a success." And if anybody knew about success, it was the composer of more than fifteen hundred songs, including "God Bless America," "White Christmas," and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," and fourteen hundred and ninety-seven more.
Eli AmdurHOST
Interesting aside, that "God Bless America" was written by an immigrant, a Jewish immigrant, no less, who also wrote "White Christmas." He had written those songs before he ever stepped foot in the United States.
Eli AmdurHOST
Kinda cool, huh? But in order to move ahead and be successful, we have to continue to step into the unknown.

Alexander's Ragtime Band, and it was played on the 97-key Oktoberfest Voigt organ from the Scarborough Fair Collection in Yorkshire, which incidentally is still open Wednesdays to Saturdays, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and it'll be open right up until the 30th of October.
Paul KirageHOST
A great place to visit.
Paul KirageHOST
You'll see that organ and quite a few others as well, and lots of other interesting vintage exhibits.
