WWW. TEX.ASTALKIES.COM--------....-~ ........ The Red, White and Blue Ragtime Revue is a collaboration of two incredible musicians. It all started during an informal jam session in Wichita, KS. Organist Dave Wickerham was the featured artist at the concert. Ragtime pianist, Dick Kroeckel was in the audience. By pure coincidence, Dick was seated at the grand piano and Dave sat down at the Little River Studio Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ. Within a very few moments they had melded their talents. This resulted in the booking of the concert in McKinney, Texas. Inside the DVD case, you'll find a booklet with biographies on the pair, information about the MPAC Mighty Wurlitzer as well as other trivia about the performance.

  • The Waterloo Organ Company
    The Waterloo Organ Company The manufacture of Waterloo Cabinet Organs began in 1861, with a very small plant that developed into one of the largest and best equipped organ factories in the United States. It is still very easy to purchase a Waterloo Pump Organ on eBay or Craigslist. A disastrous fire on May 27, 1881, destroyed the manufacturing plant on the east side of Virginia Street.1 Then Alexander C. Reed and Malcolm Love, his nephew, purchased the Waterloo Organ Manufacturing Company and renamed it as Malcolm Love and Co. In 1888, the company was incorporated as the Waterloo Organ Company, with Alexander C. Reed serving as president.2 The Waterloo Organ Company decided in 1889 to manufacture pianos as well as organs. They engaged a skilled piano builder by the name of Seebald Mennig, who drew up the scale (the interior plan of the piano, including the length of the strings, the method of putting in the sounding board, etc.) for the Malcolm Love Piano. Benjamin B. Knight had purchased the first piano that was manufactured. Knight’s son William D. Knight later donated this piano to the Waterloo Library and Historical Society where it is still on display in its Terwilliger Museum.3 At the World’s Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893, the Waterloo Organ Company had a booth where it displayed its Malcolm Love Piano. This piano received an award for its fine quality of tone and good workmanship, equal to the award of any piano exhibited. An official ribbon was given, a copy of which was attached to the back of each Malcolm Love Piano as long as they were thereafter manufactured in Waterloo.
