Totally! Learning the stretch from Gary is like learning how to shoot a basket from Michael Jordan haha And same here, growing up going to games here, Gary's music is a part of my childhood. I can imagine especially being from the neighborhood how recognizable that sound is. I hope that people outside of Chicago or Baseball will enjoy this video. I think it should be really fascinating regardless, but we'll see

haha probably not very likely here Would love to have the chance to play the organ again, but anything other than music that sounds like baseball here would be a bit weird

Yea, filming with Gary was such a cool experience. I think it's the history at Wrigley that demands it. The field has a different feel. For a newer stadium, having prerecorded play through the speakers would be the deffault

Go, Rob, goooo! Go, Rob, gooOooo! I smiled through this entire video. Gary is such a legend! It must've been a thrill for you to learn a few tunes from him and play that iconic organ. I used to live two blocks from Wrigley on Addison and I didn't realize how much this organ is, like, in my soul, man! I was really looking forward to this video and it's everything I hoped it'd be. Thanks so much, Rob! Can't wait to share it with all my fellow Cubbie fans.
