George is Wright Again!.......2005-04-20

Although this CD will stand well by itself, it really is a continuation of "George Wright At The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ" (Legacy #407). We are again presented with more of George's talent and repertoire on this second outing.

The first CD presented music that flaunted more pomp and clash. This time around, however, you'll hear a somewhat softer side of the organ after a slightly festive start, as many traditional hymns are found here, such as "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Abide With Me."

The theatre organ is capable of reproducing many different sides of music, and this CD clearly demonstrates its softer and more reflective side (after a little Mardi Gras, of course!).

Album Description

Second in this popular series, and another hour of great band organ music, Volume II of Carousel Breezes continues the excellent selection (by Merrick Price, of Seabreeze Park) and quality of Carousel Breezes. Twenty four of the most requested songs at the carousel are found on this recording, and they begin with the ringing of the bell that starts each carousel ride. Fox-trots, one-steps, and two-steps, each melody captures the spirit of days gone by.
