Hello, Folks.

The theatre organ world is less one more great enthusiast, the
Founding Father of Walnut Hill, Fred Willis. Fred passed away in a
hospital in Bakersfield on September 25th, 2008 after attempts to
stop a massive kidney failure and internal hemorraging failed.

He will be missed by all of us at Walnut Hill Productions. Survivers
include his sister, Louise and his brother, Paul. Services are
planned at Ridgecrest Medical Center where he was staying during the
end of his life here on Earth.

Fred was a war hero serving the United States Navy as an Engineer
aboard a submarine and also serving in Viet Nam with the Korean
Special Forces.

Always one with great enthusiasm for the King of Instruments, Fred
had built a massive installation of the Mighty MidiTzer Style 260
Special VTPO running on three computers, which Walnut Hill now owns.
The main machine will carry the installation, now dubbed the Fred
Willis Memorial Mighty MidiTzer.

It was Fred's final wishes that he be cremated and his ashes buried
in Washington, his home state. More news on the memorial service to
follow as we learn the details of the event. An obituary will run
shortly in the Walnut Hill Gazette.

God Speed Fred, you now get to play the Mighty TPO in the sky. May
the Heavens ring out with that wonderful sound. Amen.

"It's all about the King of Instruments!"

Forward from Ed Kelsey---------------

Please see the attached article from a recent South Pasadena city
newsletter.  My impression from this is that the city is well aware of
the theater and continues to make it a priority, but is reluctant to
start eminent domain proceedings.

The Rialto Building

Revitalization of commercial districts must capitalize on the assets
that make them unique, such as distinctive buildings and human scale
that give people a sense of belonging. These local assetsmust serve

as the foundation for all aspects of the revitalization program. In
South Pasadena, our most recognizable asset is the RialtoTheatre.

At the outset of the CRC's work, we included the Rialto in the area of
the project, in the hope that the theatre could be redeveloped along
with all the other properties in the southern two blocks of

the project area. However, owners of the Rialto, along with a few
other property owners, have declined to sell their property to the
CRA, or to otherwise participate in the project. Both the City

and the developer have negotiated with the owner and the operator of
the Rialto, but none of the offers have yet to be accepted. Without
resorting to eminent domain, there is no means available to

obtain control of the theatre. As a result, the Rialto is not included
in this project at present. That does not preclude the Rialto from
becoming the next project of the CRA, using tax increment funds from this

project as the funding base.
Edward Kelsey
General Manager

Los Angeles, CA 90014

If you want to help get the Rialto back into the redevelopment plan I
think the greatest contribution would be a letter to the South
Pasadena City Clerk, Ms. Sally Kilby, setting forth REASONS why it
would benefit South Pasadena to include the Rialto Theatre in their
plans for redevelopment of their downtown area. Her email address is
skilby (at) ci.south-pasadena.ca.us

My thoughts run to character and identity that a restored historic
theatre brings to this type of project. I know there are numerous
examples of communities that have gone to considerable expense to
restore a theatre to serve as a magnet attraction for redevelopment
projects. If you know of such projects, especially those that are now
enjoying success, relating the details of how including a theatre
contributed to a successful redevelopment project could change some minds.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a great new DVD
available featuring the Mighty Wurlitzer found at Organ Stop Pizza in
Mesa, AZ. Their web site states:
Featuring Charlie Balogh, Lew Williams, and a wide variety of
behind-the-scenes video, this first-of-its-kind Organ Stop Pizza
documentary DVD will be a must-have for any fan of theatre organs in
general, or Organ Stop in particular!

Informative and entertaining at the same time, this documentary will
take you to place few have seen - behind the scenes and deep into the
Organ Stop Wurlitzer.

With the 54-minute Feature portion having sections on general organ
history, Organ Stop Pizza history, commentary, music by both Charlie
and Lew, commentary by co-owner Jack Barz, and an extensive behind-the
scenes section, you'll see and hear Organ Stop Pizza like never
before! Add in another 81 minutes of Extras and the total DVD is 2
hours and 15 minutes!


The DVD is $26 and can be found on their web site
(http://www.organstoppizza.com/welcome.htm). The DVD is very good. The
only downside? They can only ship to US addresses. But if you're in
Mesa, you can pick up a copy directly from them.

Greetings, Folks.

Playing the Mighty MidiTzer just keeps getting more fun!

I recently posted 38 songs to the Walnut Hill Productions website.
This new material was recorded live on Dan Rowland's 3/19 Mighty
MidiTzer Style 260 Special Virtual Theatre Pipe Organ during the Ohio
Organ Crawl. To listen to this new stuff, click on the URL below:

http://www.theatreorgans.com/walnuthill/rowland_miditzer_09.htm

The organ had the new Universal SoundFont from Kent Allman loaded.
The sound was superb. We used the Creative Recorder in the MidiTzer
computer to get the music on the hard drive. It was then transferred
to our trusty laptop computer for mastering.

SoundForge6 and the Waves Platinum Bundle were used to whip the music
into shMy pages at Walnut Hill are getting the version 5 facelift. Dan
Rowland has ten pages in my section about the wonderful instrument he
and his son have built and the house it lives in. Poke around and
enjoy!

"Rialto's last picture show
The last picture show at South Pasadena's Rialto Theater
By Francisco Vara-Orta
August 20, 2007


Tina Tsoutsas blew a kiss as she said goodbye to the Rialto
theater, a longtime South Pasadena fixture that has
showcased cinema from silent movies to this summer's hit,
"The Simpsons Movie."

The beloved jazz-age institution, one of Southern California's
remaining single-screen theaters, closed Sunday evening after
81 years.

"Ask anybody who knows South Pasadena and they'll know
about the Rialto," said Tsoutsas, 46.

The Arcadia native first came to the Rialto as a teenager in the
1980s to see a movie marathon on the Beatles. She liked the
theater so much that she asked for a job there, working from
1984 to 1996 in various roles, including manning the ticket
booth, doling out snacks at concession stands and ushering
patrons to their seats.

One of her fondest memories, she said, was working the
weekly midnight showing of the cult classic "Rocky Horror
Picture Show," which had a three-decade run at the theater.

"It really is beautiful and historic," Tsoutsas said in the lobby
after a final tour of the theater with her boyfriend, Gary. "It's
just always been here."

The Rialto opened its doors to the public Oct. 17, 1925, with
organist Ray Metcalfe at the Wurlitzer and the Rialto orchestra
accompanying the world premiere of Universal Pictures'
"What Happened to Jones?" Trapeze artists performed on
a bill shared with vaudeville acts. Admission was 30 cents
and searchlights sent from Hollywood shone outside, alerting
people to the opening.

With 10 dressing rooms, a loft, a green room, an orchestra
pit and a deep stage, the Rialto's Spanish Baroque architecture
and Egyptian-accented interior design bestowed a regal
atmosphere that went beyond just catching a flick for those
perched in its 1,200 seats.

But on Sunday, about 30 people showed up for the first
showing at 12:30 p.m. of "The Simpsons Movie," with the
discounted matinee price of $6 for adults. About 200
people attended the last show. Among them: a group of
15 who graduated from South Pasadena High school in
1960. For them, the theater had been a hangout during
their teen years. They had returned to it every few years
for periodic reunions and had made a point of being
there for the last screening.

"No one is here to see the Simpsons, they're here to see
the Rialto Theater," said Andrew Noice, a manager. The
Rialto's operator, Landmark Theatres, shifted in recent
years from showing more independent art-house films to
mainstream movies to boost ticket sales, he said.

Noice reminisced throughout the day with nostalgic Rialto
customers. "Business has been up since people found
out it was shutting down," he said.

The low-key closing seemed appropriately somber for the
aging beauty's last day. The seats were squeaky, carpets
worn. The balcony was closed for repairs, the theater
warmer than the covered lobby outside. It took the camera
flashes of patrons -- allowed after the movie on Sunday
only -- to brighten up the dimly lit theater, as many fixtures
were broken and had not been replaced in years.

"What I really loved about the Rialto is how it's all original
and has the feeling like you've just walked into a place
frozen in time," said Maryam Hosseinzadeh, 29, a South
Pasadena native and graduate student studying historical
preservation at USC's School of Architecture. "But it's a
Catch-22 because it's dilapidated, and I can see where
there's water damage, paint chipping away and how it's
become a faded glory."

The theater has survived through the death of vaudeville,
two fires and threats of being converted into a parking
lot or five-screen multiplex, finally succumbing to
consistently low ticket sales that Landmark officials
said couldn't sustain its operation.

"I remember my mom bringing me here to see "Romeo
and Juliet" in the 1970s," said David Wolf, 42, a South
Pasadena resident. "South Pasadena is starting to look
too generic, and this theater is part of the cultural
landscape that I worry is dying here. The Rialto was
never mainstream and that's probably why it's fading
out."

The theater on Fair Oaks Avenue at Oxley Street may
come back to life as part of a proposed development
project, but that plan, which would take three years,
has not been approved. "It was worth the trip to see it,"
said Ralph Ramirez, 56, who traveled from Torrance
with his wife, Deborah, to visit and photograph the
structure. "This was my first time, and I'm sad that it'll
be the last."

Landmark controls the theater under a long-term lease,
but has said it couldn't commit the $1 million needed
for restoration and ticket sales aren't enough to keep it
open. Landmark has declined to release the Rialto's ticket
sales figures, but Noice said that in the seven years he's
worked there, there have been days with not one person
showing up to watch a film.

"It's a heartbreaking ending for the theater," Noice said.
"I'm more sad that it's closing down than losing my job.
I can find another, but there's only one Rialto." "

Well we can still hope for the Redevelopment Project
to be approved/funded before the Rialto is torn down!!

Jim

I recognize that sound, it's the organ I fell in love with in 1989!
Gaylord may be gone, but Bob's pretty darn close.  I don't care how
others may deride the 216, Berdoo's California is still my favorite!

Wow,  wish my Miditzer 216 had that "sound",
but after all it is real pipes and in a real

person since that wonderful Summer of 2005,
oh well.

Welcome to the group Dave, the Rialto is a bit quiet at the moment
because we are waiting for the them to restore the theatre. I need to
update it though from other sites.

I am so glad to find this site, I'm a Berdoo Native and it was on this

Hi, Folks.

We have, after a lengthly delay, some long awaited new songs from Tom
Hoehn at the console of the Mighty 2/5 Wicks Theatre Pipe Organ
installed at Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Ponchatoula, Loisiana.

On the afternoon of April 30, 2006, and in front of an audience of
over 200 attendees, Father Justin Kauchak introduced nationally
acclaimed Tampa, Florida organist Tom Hoehn who played the final
recital on the former Ideal Theatre organ before it was relocated to
the new church building. Click here to see the updated feature page
and listen to Tom playing this wonderful little Theatre Pipe Organ.

To hear the new material and see the updates to the page where the
new material is, go to the site and once inside, click the Feature
button at the top of the page. Next, click the May 2006 Feature. Once
that page loads, scroll down to find the new music.

Enjoy!

God bless and happy playing.

"It's all about the King of Instruments!"

Greetings, Folks.

Walnut Hill has had 26,008 visitors since the hit counter was reset
on January 1st of 2005.

We reset the hit counter at the beginning of 2005 to reflect the fact
that the first nine months of operation from April to December of
2004 were merely a trial run. In that nine months, we had 9,850
visitors. Add that to the current hit counter reading and we now
total 35,858 happy campers in the Land of the King!

The future is bright for the King of Instruments, with many TPO
websites being born and other sites already in place experiencing
upward trends in visitation. The Mighty MidiTzer continues to grow in
popularity. Instruments are being restored worldwide and there is a
new trend developing where the young people are getting excited about
the Theatre Pipe Organ.

I want to thank each and every one who visits us. You have made
Walnut Hill what it is today, one of the fast growing and largest TPO
websites on the internet. We could not have done this without you!

God Bless and Happy Playing

Last Saturday, July 8th, the Rialto console went home to the
Southland, and took up temporary residence in the Meridian Ironworks
Building, 913 Meridian Avenue, South Pasadena.  While not ideal, at
least the console will be visible for anyone to see, and will
hopefully help drum up interest in restoring both the theatre and the organ.

Thank you Jim. That was one special concert for lots of reasons and
thanks to
Miditzer I was a part of it. I shall certainly be getting the CD, and a

tablet with tears in my eyes.

Hi, Folks.

Eugene Hayek has been hard at work recording new material on his
massive five computer MidiTzer installation.

This evening, we added six new songs to his Featured Artist page at
Walnut Hill. To hear the new songs, go to the site and once inside,
click on the Artist button at the top of the page, and then click on
Eugene Hayek when the Featured Artist page loads. Once on his page,
scroll down until you find the MidiTzer Music section. Look for the
April 10th entry where he tells us how he did this. Below his short
tutorial are the six new numbers.

Enjoy!

God bless and happy MidiTzering.

Russ,

You make a valid point.  But the Miditzer Forum is 6 times the size of
this groups, allows pictures and files to be included in a post, and
is a site I monitor regularly.  For my sanity, I would like the
discussion of the California Style 216 to be in the Miditzer Forum.

Thanks,
Jim Henry

As a suggestion, rather that mix this subject up with other general and
Miditzer related discussion in the Forum Green Room that are not related
to real a 216 why not do it here. This group was set up to discuss the
restoration of what I thought at the time was the only 216 still in
existance. A lot was discussed here which might be useful with the
California 216 and ideas and experience learned related to the
California 216 will probably be useful with the Rialto 216.
