Wow! Who knew that I would find another Organ Grinder Pizza album? I'm assuming this one is the first volume, and it only features two different organists: Jonas Nordwall and Patti Simon. It's another great combination of old songs and (at the time) new songs like Billy Joel's "My Life", all played on a ginormous pipe organ. Enjoy!
Here's the track list:
- My Life - Jonas Nordwall
- I Don't Know Why - Jonas Nordwall
- Birth of the Blues - Jonas Nordwall
- Maleguena - Jonas Nordwall
- Medley from "Saturday Night Fever" - Patti Simon
- Tiger Rag - Jonas Nordwall
- Annie's Song - Jonas Nordwall
- Meditation from "Thais" - Jonas Nordwall
- Over the Rainbow - Patti Simon
- Hopelessly Devoted to You - Patti Simon
- Character Medley - Patti Simon

Thank you for posting this! It was great to hear this record again after SO many years!
This was not actually volume 1. This was specifically recorded on the Denver, CO organ as opposed to the Portland, OR organ. There were several albums recorded in Portland, but this is the only one I know of from Denver. Now.... if only I can get MP3's of Volume 1 and an album called 'Space Organ' (I think) my collection would be restored!!
Again... Thank you!
I have most of the Organ Grinder recordings. There are many, I still wish there were more. Such an amazing instrument that I compare all theatre organs to. Does anyone have Bits, Bytes, and Pipes V 1 or 2? I can't find these anywhere! Please email at danno4521@yahoo.com Thanks!
I have access to both, Space Organ and Bits, Bytes and Pipes. Interested??
please comment if you are interested
Yes please!

I am truly interested in the Portland Organ Grinder recordings. Where do I start?
During my first visit to Portland 20 years ago, I had the honor of listening to that wonderful instrument.
Thank you for the opportunity to heard the music again.
