   Great suggestion.  I will in the future.  I originally wanted to just do MP3's   
   but realized I couldn't upload that to YouTube so I decided to have my wife   
   record me playing.   
      
   Here is my process:   
      
   The sheet music comes in PDF format.  I load it into my tablet and use a   
   program which allows me to use my finger to scroll to the next page.   
      
   The registrations are loaded onto a USB stick.  Once the registrations are   
   loaded into the organ, I use the right kick switch located on the volume pedal   
   to switch from one registration to the next. If you watch the video again,   
   look for a slight tell when I do this.  You can see my right knee move quickly   
   to the right.   
      
   You can also see my left thumb lower onto the silver touch bar when I want to   
   do a drum fill-in.  Because the organ is just a specialized computer, you can   
   program it to do quite a number of functions, and the touch bar is one of   
   those that I use for this purpose.   
      
   Might I suggest that if you watch this or any of my videos, close your eyes   
   and listen to all of the various instruments that are reproduced, along with   
   the various beats.  They call the Lowrey organ a "virtual orchestra".  There   
   probably is not one instrument that it can not reproduce.   
      
   Hopefully, you will watch this and all of my videos again and enjoy the music.
