Me at the Burton-on-Trent Wurlitzer theatre organ playing "The first time I saw you" which makes use of the Glockenspiel and Xylophone used together.
The organ was originally installed at the Forum Cinema in Wythenshaw - a suburb of South Manchester - not far from the airport. There are 8 ranks of pipes and as standard on British theatre organ layouts, these are divided into 2 enclosed chambers as follows:
CHAMBER 1: Open Diapason, Flute, Violin, Violin Celeste
CHAMBER 2: Tibia, Tuba, Trumpet, Vox Humana.
And of course there are the usual percussions and novelty sound effects such as Fire Bell, Bird Whistle etc. This instrument does not feature a piano.

Their trials show that cows are particularly partial to Beethoven and REM. Now the Dortmund Concert Hall is helping 180 cows in the town of Burscheid to enjoy particularly exquisite music. The dairy cattle on the farm Thomashof are being treated to the highlights of the 2010/2011 season. Concert audiences can even taste the result in the form of �Dortmund 2010/2011 Season Concert Milk�.

Recently, aspiring country music artists, Richard and Robert Fay, also known as R&R Double Take, came to New York to record Paul Val's latest hit, The Silent Majority Is Silent No More. This song celebrates the fact that average Americans, who are usually silent, are finally exercising their First Amendment rights to voice their concerns about Government and are getting involved in the electoral process in a big way.

Camping has always been quite adventurous: In nature, on the highway or wherever. This seems to no longer suffice, the vehicles also are expected to be adventurous - yes they also have to be practical and functional - but now almost every camper, each tent and every caravan has to have that small, individual extra. At the CARAVAN SALON in Duesseldorf you will find a variety of adventurous vehicles to chose from.
