Amazing Jones Beach Concert!
Scott Russ & Felix Cavaliere |
Felix Cavaliere's Rascals, the Beach Boys and Lovin' Spoonful performed. Felix borrowed one of our Hammond SK2 Organs for the show.
We were backstage to help set up the organ and to see the show. Plus we met all the bands! John Stamos filled in as drummer for part of the Beach Boys' set. What a great night! Shown here are some photos from the night.

Musical Fun Fact- Organs
Did you know that the organ has been around for centuries? The Greek engineer Ctesibius is credited with inventing a pipe organ in Alexandria in the 3rd century BC. It was known as a hydraulis and used pressurized wind created by water pressure. It was an ingenious system which was not really improved upon much for centuries. Not much is known of the actual music that was played on the original hydraulis, though. It might have been used more as a noisemaker. For a large selection of organs visit Scott Russ Music in Merrick, NY or www.ScottRussMusic.com.
