Walking To Missouri.
- 16 years ago
This is a popular song written by Bob Merrill (1921 - 1998) an American songwriter, theatrical composer, lyricist and screenwriter in 1952. The best known versions of the song were recorded by Guy Mitchell and Sammy Kaye.
He is probably best remembered for his songs "Mambo Italiano" and "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window", as well as many others.
I am indebted to Monte Chaney for finally providing me with the elusive title of this piece.
Monte, a theatre organ fan - coincidentally from Springfield Missouri - sent me a most interesting e-mail recently, telling me about his Wurlitzer Style "E" Opus 778 in the Delmar Garden Theater! Thanks again Monte.
This video was made on a D-type Wurlitzer, believed to be the first one to be imported into the UK in 1925. After being used in the "Picture House" Walsall for several years, it was then installed in the Congregational Church at Beer, a delightful little fishing village situated in South Devon UK, where it still remains. http://www.beer-congregational-church.org.uk
