Ten year old MAtfTIN FLEMING, of Northridge.

California, started out playing the Chord Organ.
But he really began lo develop as an organist
abouf the time a Self •Contained (A-lOO) model
was purchased for him. The new organ became

THE HAMMOND GOES TO A GOVERNORS' CONFERENCE

Statesmen enjoy hearing and playing the Hammond
Organ too.

This was the feeling of Kenneth Kellogg of the
Sherman Music Company of Helena, Montana. It was
also the reason why he decided ro insrall a Ham-
mond Console model ( A-lOO ) organ and three
PR-40 tone cabinets in the Many Glacier Hotels
Glacier National Park. The occasion: the 52nd Annual
Governors' Conference.

The Hammond played a big part in the conference,
for it was in constant use. The governors who owned
Hammonds back home — and a number did — played
the instrument. Many of the others (governors, theii
families, their staff) enjoyed beautiful music on
niuiierous formal and informal occasions. Tlie Ham-
mond Console model under the able playing of Mrs.
Alex Stephenson, official conference organist, did its
part at the Annual Stare Dinner. One of the features

of the evening was the rendition of all the state
songs. Later the instrument was easily transported and
installed at Lake McDonald, fifty miles into the park
itself. Here it provided more enjoyable music, this
time for the Annual Wives Luncheon.

The conference not only included several days of
serious meetings but also provided a variety of
incidental recreation. In addition to playing the
Hammond Organ, such activities as boating, fishing,
horseback riding, golf, tennis, swimmings photo-
graphy, sightseeing, sketching, and guided scenic
hikes were available to everyone; Governors, staflFs,
wives and youngsters. Governor J. Hugo Aronson of
Montana (stanciing behind the Console model Ham-
mond Organ) was host to the conference. JJJ

IMMACUtATE CONCEPTION
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL

The budget at the Immaculate Conception Parochial
School in Alamogordo, New Mexico, did not allow
funds for the purchase that Father Ryan and Sister
FraneeUa had in mind. In their hearts they knew the
school needed a new organ^ — a new Hammond organ.

Fortunately, Father Ryan and Sister Francella were
not the kind to be daunted by trifles. Funds or no funds,,
they would find a way to acquire the organ. They began
to search, and they talked to people: the ladies of the
Home and School Association, for instance, and Phil
Davidson, Manager of the Organ Department at the El
Paso Piano Company.

One of the suggestions given them was that perhaps
trading stamps could be used, and Phil Davidson checked.
He contacted a stamp concern, and they submitted a
stamp plan to enable the purchase of a Hammond
Organ.

Father Ryan and Sister Francella had found their way
— and the stamp drive was on!

Stamps were collected by the school children and
through donated stamps placed in containers at the local
stores. Catholics and Protestants alike assisted, and in a
short amount of time the half-way point was reached.

The stamp concern sent a partial check to El Paso and
the organ was delivered — incidentally, in time for the
school's annual Christmas program. By the time classes
were dismissed last summer, final payment on the organ
had been completed.

Immaculate Conception's children, parents, and teach-
ing staff refused to be daunted by budgetary limitations
and found a practical way to acquire a Hammond Organ
which will be a valuable addition to their school equip-
ment. It will prove a dependable instrura,ent which will
give Immaculate Conception beautiful organ music and
lasting service for many, many years to come.

r^

Central Hill Qaptht Church, Isle of Wright County, Virginia,
whose choir members refused to be thwarted by a lack of
funds lor the new Hammond Organ they wanlad for use at
their services.

CENTRAL HILL BAPTIST CHURCH

Behind the melodious tones of the organ and hs-mns
at Central Hill Baptist Church, Isle of Wright County,
Virginia, is the story of a determined choir.

They wanted a new organ — a Harmnond Organ — for
their church services. But they found they had only
enough funds for one-third of the cost — fust a down
payment.

How could they raise the remaining two-thirds? Their
answer showed character, ingenuity, and pUin ability to
roll up their sleeves and do some really hard work.

They found that the second third wasn't so difficult —
the money was raised in orthodox ways. They held
some food sales and sponsored a barbecue supper.

But, for the balance, what could be more natural than
to turn to their good Virginia soil for the answer?
Together they rented some land^^nough for raising
four acres of corn and one and a half acres of peanuts.
And the entire choir pitched in and tilled the soil.

The result: success, naturally. The Central Hill Church
Choir members turned out to be first class truck gar-
deners, keeping their rows free of weeds and raising a
bumper crop. But, just as important, they benefited from
the group endeavor — and incidentally, earned the final
third of the needed funds for complete ownership of the
new Hammond Organ. JiA^

VARSITY SPRINTER IS ACCOMPLISHED
HAMMOND ORGANIST

I

Music and arhletics are seldom considered as a
combination. Yec they should be — they're natural
together.

Take the case of George Peterson, Business Ad-
ministration senior and captain of the I960 varsity
track team at Abilene Christian College, Abilene,
Texas. He finds that the rhythm of his Hammond
Organ's music seems to strengthen coordination in
running, and that playing an organ can be a great
soiHice of relaxation after the rigors of strenuous
:rack practice.

George is one of the outstanding collegiate dash-
men in the Southwest and this season is a candidate
for almost every Wildcat relay team — including the
440 yard, 880 yard, mile and sprint medley. In 1959
he ran on the Wildcat's third place effort in the 440
yard relay at ±e California Relays, and also clocked a
48.2 quarter lap on the Abilene Track Qub's 3:10^
mile relay effort at the meeting of champions. He has
also had 9.4 and 20.5 dockings in the shon sprints.

When a sophomore in 1958, he ran on Abilene's
880 yard relay team at Modesto, Cahfornia, and they
broke the world record.

George helped Abilene Christian set a world record
of 1:22.6 for the 880 yard relay in 1958 and has the
best legitimate sprint rimes of 9.5 and 21.0 — the
latter run around a curve,

George came to Abilene Christian because of its
sprint reputation, after witming rwo Nebraska High
School 220 titles and one championship in the 100.

He decided to study organ during his sophomore
year at Abilene — and selected the Hammond Organ.
At first he traveled six miles daily across Abilene to
practice on a borrowed instrument. Later, to better
utilize his time, he rented a Hammond and obtained
permission to keep it in his room.

George expects to bring his college business train-
ing to his parents' mortuary after he graduates. And
since there are already two Hammond OrgaiLS in the
establishment — a Spinet and a Home Model — he'll
be right at home. JJif-

GEORGE PETERSON, Business Administration
senior and capfa'm of the }960 varsity track
team at Abilene ChristSan Coihge, Abilene,
Texas, is one of the outsianding eottegiale
dashmen in the South'west. This season he
is a tandidale for atmost evary Wildcat
relay team — inctuding ihs sprint medley,
440 yard, 880 yard and mih rt/nv.

When George returned home offer studying fire
orgon during hi$ 1959 term at Ab!hne, his famHy
presented him with o Spinet Model Hammond.
That summtr he began to play professiona///,
appearing of a prominent local dining estabtith-
meat. Needless to say, he now plays profes-
stonaHy whenever an occasion presents itself.

When George wos ready to rolurn to schooJ this
fall, he was presented a trailer (made for him by
his older brother) designed expre$9ly for trans-
porting the organ from jtlace to plaee with com-
parative ease.

CHAPTER AWARDS SCHOlARSHiPS

Al ihB 1940^1 HOSDJ] begins, the members of the Taeama,
Washington, Chapter can faJce jurtifiable prida in their recent
ar\nouncement of ihc awarding of fwo music scholarships.

One schotarship has gone ^o Mis% Emily Lou Erickson, an out-
standing high school honor graduate from Parttand, Oregon,
and the other to Miss Julia forsberg, a latented music educofron
major of the University of Pugel Sound, Tocomo, M'oshingl'on.

Many months of triat and error were devoted to development
of the Chapter's project — a principal aim since the club wos
organtzed. Some time ago ffiey started a fund, and each monlii
they sef some money asrde, no marrer haw small. Then various
p/ans for estabtishing seh^arships were invesfjgafed and dis-
carded. They wanted to reach cfudenfs who were defityilely
makina mv$k rhsir Jjfe endeavor.

After much time and research. If was decided to present a
scholarship on the coUege level fo a music student definitely
dedicated to mcrsic — espcciafJy fn the argon field.

The Chapter consulted the faculty at Paget Sound University,
pointing out that their fund was modest. However, they were
informed that "a little means a lot" and thai a school of music
if frequently neghct^d by those awarding schoforships. The
Cihaprer was told how much would be needed for weeirfy les-
sons for one sfudent for a scfiooi year and the amount needed
to provide tor organ rsntol for practice purposes.

With the awarding of the scholarships la the Misses Erickson
and Forsberg, the Tacoma Chapfer's plan ii etiablished. And,
needless to say, they plan to continue building their fund, in
order to be ready for another schoof year.

FUN AT THE HAMMOND

By OrvlU» H. foster

CHORD POSITIONS

BASIC CHORDS

The three basic chords used in all music in the key of
C are C, G7, aod F. These are basic because every note
of the C scale is contained in one of these three chords.

The same thing holds true of the three fundamental
chords in any key. The chord built on the first degree
of the scale is called the tonic chord. The chord builc on
the 4th degree of the scale is called the suh -dominant.
The chord built on the 5th degree of the scale is called
the domimwt — the dominant 7ch chord.

All of these chords can be played in the root position
(when the name is the lowest note of the chord), or
they can he inverted or turned over. The C major chord
is C E G in the root position, E G C in the first immer-
sion, and G C E in the second invasion. Similarly, the
F chords would be F A C in the root posifion, A C F
in the first inversion, and C F A in the second inversion.
The G7 chord is G B D F in the root position, B D F G
ia the first inversion, D F G B in the second inversion,
and F G B D in the third inversion.

It would seem that we could use any of the inversions
that we desire — except for one restriction. In good
organ playing, the left hand must never jump around
if we are to play smoothly. Thus we must select the
inversion closest to the chord we are leaving — or ap-
proaching.

Organ courses state that the most satisfactory position
for the C chord is G C E, with C being the middle C on
the lower keyboard. !t is important that this particular
position of the chord be uscd» since the whole balance
of smooth organ playing is predicated on this particular
invenion.

EXACT POSITION

It's equally necessary that all other chords (revolving
around use of this G C E chord) be played as closely as
possible to the C chord without moving the hand.
It's advisable to learn the exact position of the following
chords and to use them regularly. Remember to always
go smoothly from one chord to the next. Smoothness is
accomplished by holding a "common tone"- — that is,

where one note Is repeated in the next chord it is held
and not struck again. So we go from the C chord
(G C E) to the F chord ( A C F) by holding down the
note C and not striking it again. In the same manner
you go from the G7 chord (G B D F) to the C chord
(G C E) holding down the "common rone" G and not
striking it again.

Here are the most desirable compositions for the usual

i to be found in the key

of C:

Fm Ab C F

Faug.

AC«F

Dm ADF

Gdiffl.

G Bb C« E

Gm7 G Bb D F

Gaug.

GBD«

Fdim. G«BDF

If the tunc you are playing is in the key of G (one
sharp, Fit), these chords will most probably be found:

D

D7

Ddim.

Daug.

Dm

Dm7

ADF#

ACDF5

Gf BDF

A#DFS

ADF

ACDF

Am
Am7

A7

A dim.
Aaug.

ACE
ACEG
AC$EG
A C En F5
AC«F

wil

If the number is in the key of F, the following chords

II probably be present:

F6 ACDF

Dm7 ACDF

Bb Bb D F

Bb7 AbBbDF

Eb G Bb Eb

Eb min. Gb Bb Eb

Bbdim. GBbCJtE

G dim. G Bb Cff E

These are the three most commonly used keys in the
writing of popular music, simple basic and light classics.
Go over these chord positions ngtiin and again, until you
can strike them instantly. If you get your left hand
chord positions going from one of these to the next by
holding a common tone, or — if there is no common tone
— by sliding smoothly to the closest position of the
next chord, you'll fi.nd this will substantially contribute
to more FUN AT THE HAMMOND ORGAN. JJi/

Merzury Hmmrdi (MG 204)5) Custom High fidelity

Shay Torrent is considerably more than a virtuoso with flying fingers and dancing
feet. He is a veritable Toscanini, conceiving the whole range of orchestral sounds
and weaving them all into a single fabric of unified, driving performance. His
range of rhythms swings from the thoughtful lento of Poimiana co the allegro
mama mia of Twelfth Street Rag. A fabulous one man orchestra filling a whole
spectrum of musical sounds; singmg string sections, powerful bniss ensembles,
sensitive woodwinds, driving percussion.

SELECTIONS FROM CASINO DE PARIS REVUE

an. by Sill Irwiir KtffsHanten, Me. $2

This 56-page folio is a litdc out of the ordinary. Mr. Irwin
is a firie arranger so the music is well done, but of more in-
terest is the fact that each af the seven songs is presented in
two completely diiferent versions, one with English words.
the other with French words. The music is also different so
you will be able to perform any of the scngs in two different
styles. Don't let the faa that you might not be familiar with
these tunes keep yni: fmm mkint.' a look at this fnliu.

CHORALE PRELUDE "IN DULCI JUBILO"

Three sint;les for the churdi organist. Church musicians will
recognize all these tunes, and Hainraond church organists who
have followed my column will welcome the fact that the
registrations arc done by Chester Kingsbuiy. I suppose you'd
say that the Williams number is "high-brow," but it's a stun-
ning number. Part of it sounds on the Pastorale side, and I'm
going CO use it thi.-; Christmas.

EASY PRELUDES FOR ORGAN

by OoTtrf Corr Glovmr £fJi«/ Smrfh Moiic Corp. jr. 50

This folio is just what it says, the music certainly is easy. The
pieces are all short and are all original compositions by
Glover. One of the most difficult ihings to do in music is to
write easy music th.u doesn't sound "corny" and scntimenuJ.
Glover has turned the trick. Many of the numbers are for
precussion. Take a look.

owners should have these books; they're great. In playing
these pieces, play die riglu hand exactly as scored.

DON SELLERS ORGAN COURSE

by Don Sclhri

Don SvUbm, Inc.

Begiunin^ origan snidenr^ often find themselves in an area
where a comperent teacher is not close at hand. Time and
ajjain these people have askcii me, "Isn't there some instruc-
tion system available on records that I could study by my-
self?" Ar last there is, and this is it.

This course consiscs of an instruction book and two records.
On the records Don Rainey, narrator, tells you exaaly what
to do, step by step, just as a teacher would do. Of course,
there won't be anyone with you to cortea your mistakes;
you'll have to be conscientious and do it yourself. Both the
nurracion and ilur playing of the music arc welt done so that
you'll find it easy to understand.

The course is organized into twelve lessons starting with an
explatuitioii of the Hammond OrKan, drawbars, percussion,
etc. Then the fimdamentjls of music are explaineti, reading
music, etc., after which he starts a chord system method of
instruction. Tliis leads Into simple bass clef reading, basic
rhythms, and I'lnaiiy chords in the ri^^ht hand.
No price is marked for tlie course and records. If you're in-
terested, why not write Mr. Sellers direct for this information.
