There's something about early spring that takes me out to the ballgame. I haven't been to a ballpark in years, but when I recall going to games at Yankee Stadium when I was a kid, I recall the overwhelming fragrance of hot dogs, the sticky taste of Cracker Jack and the sound of the organ playing something swift and skippy.

The problem at the time of my post is that the personnel on the session was never captured, so there was no way of knowing who the flutes were. Soon after my post, Los Angeles composer and arranger Roy Phillippe wrote and offered to track down at least the four flutists. Here's Roy's note: “I recently ...

With Major League Baseball's opening day coming up on April 6, I figured a little history on the baseball stadium organ would be in order. The organ made its leap from silent-movie theaters to sporting arenas in 1929, during a Chicago Blackhawks hockey game.

Not to ...
