Woody, Magnus Organ? Music and sheets in the same sentence?
And you tell us to get our minds out of the gutter???
Begging for the “Tulips on my Organ” vid….
Heh! I couldn’t help but think about one of my favorite songs of Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers’s Broadway musical OKLAHOMA!
PORE JUD IS DAID
Poor Jud is dead, Poor Jud Fry is dead
All gather round his coffin now and cry
He had a heart of gold, And he wasn’t very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Poor Jud is dead, Poor Jud Fry is dead
He’s lookin’ oh so peaceful and serene
He’s all laid out to rest, With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean
[spoken] Then the preacher’d get up and he’d say “Folks, we are gathered here to mourn and groan over our brother Jud Fry Who hung hisself up by a rope in the smokehouse.” And then there’d be weepin’ an’ wailin’ — from some of those women — Then he’d say, “Jud was the most misunderstood man in this territory.” People used to think he was a mean ugly fella and called him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig stealer.
The folks that really knowed him Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore There beat a heart as big as all outdoors. Jud Fry loved his fellow man.
He loved the birds of the forest, And the beasts of the fields, He loved the mice and the vermin in the barn And he treated the rats like equals (which was right) He loved all the little children, He loved everything and everybody in the world, Only . . . only he never let on And nobody ever knowed it.
Poor Jud is dead, Poor Jud Fry is dead
His friends are weepin’ wail for miles around
The daisies in the dell, Will give out a different smell
Because poor Jud is underneath the ground
Poor Jud is dead, A candle lights his head
He’s layin’ in a coffin made of wood
And folks are feelin’ sad, ‘Cuz they used to treat him bad
And now they know their friend has gone for good
Poor Jud is dead, A candle lights his head
He’s lookin’ oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he’s asleep, It’s a shame that he won’t keep
But it’s summer and we’re runnin’ out a’ ice
I forgot I had a smaller one than in the picture! Xmas gift from Santa that I hadn’t asked for. ok so I looked at that website, i see now. . .

I used to play for hours on a Magnus organ when we visited my Aunt Violet’s house as a kid.
Why didn’t we have that sheet music for McStink’s funeral?
Oh, thank you so much for posting this! Got a big one for Christmas when I was a kid and spent many, many enjoyable hours playing it. Great memories, and now I’m all teary-eyed.
She: “My, you have such a small organ.”
He: “I didn’t know I was going to play in such a large cathedral!”
