Pipe Organ – Toccata in D Minor

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:16:11 +0000

Johann Sebastian Bach’s famous “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” performed on the pipe organ by me.
(However, I can only play the Toccata. The Fugue is mind-boggling :S)

I’m pretty sure that in some countries it’s considered a felony to be able to play a pipe organ and not perform this song at least once. I mean, it’s like the pipe organ’s trademark song!

Also, be reasonable in judging this. I haven’t had one day of organ lessons in my life, and this is probably only my fifth time playing the Toccata on an actual organ (played it on the piano all the other times), so it’s not the best performance you’re ever going to see.
If I get any better at it later, I may reupload it.

…hmmmm?! In 10 months time I’ve only uploaded 3 accordion videos?!
THAT HAS TO CHANGE, AND OH BY GEE BY GOSH BY GUM BY JOVE IT WILL!

“Remember the ’90s?” – Accordion Medley

I’ll be honest:
I LOVED the television shows from the 1990s.
Whether it meant waking up at O-dark-30 in the morning or racing my bahookie home from elementary school, I was always sure that I didn’t miss my favorite cartoons of the time.
So here’s my way of paying tribute to that golden era of cartoons, movies, and television shows.
