Rhonda Sue Wickerham Celebration of Life HD 1080p
Family and Friends, I thank you for clicking this TH-cam link for the “Celebration of Life Event” for my Rhonda Sue.
I know it’s been a long time for this to come fruition. (for a number of reasons) First, because of the Pandemic, (2020-22) we were delayed nearly two years when people couldn’t gather together safely for ANY events.. Secondly - admittedly unexpected and emotionally very difficult - I personally wasn’t far enough along in my grieving, mourning process that it "felt right” to post and share the Celebration. Thankfully, I’m now in a better place.
The time HAS come with the passing of yet another year, to move forward… So, I am honored to share with you now, that special day where so many our family and friends gathered together (October 15, 2022) to pay tribute and CELEBRATE the life my Soulmate and Love of my Life, ❤️ Rhonda Sue!
Special thanks to: Jeffery & Rusty, The Sanfilippo Family, Greg Leifel & Laura D’Argo, Rev. Jerry & Cori Vreeman, Jim Dettlaff, Pam Masching, Melissa Marcell, Mark Demmin II, Zach Frame (audio, video, editing)

Crystal Falls, MI Paint River Video HD 1080p

Here's a short 2 minute video that I put together today after visiting the falls earlier.. Although it was snowing today, I'm thinking that most of the "BIG SNOW" is done for the season. The Paint River - about half a mile from my house - is running vigorously, at around flood level. This is due to the tremendous snow-melt and some rain that we've had. The brick building on the left at river le...

I've returned home after being gone a good part of nine weeks. There have been quite a few concert opportunities since the first part of October for which I am very grateful! Today,(Christmas Eve) I've worked here at home on a "musical" Christmas Card for you, featuring probably my ALL TIME favorite Christmas song "O Holy Night." All the snow scenes are from home here in Crystal Falls, MI. (thi...

This is a "little" keepsake from a recent (very informal) afternoon spent with friends at Allen Organs of Chicago and Indianapolis. The impromptu happening was captured with five cameras and a little imagination.. The organ is the AMAZING Allen TO-5Q Theatre Organ that "lives" in one corner of the beautiful showroom. It's always a JOY to play! After a rough couple of years, it was fantastic to ...

    Thank you for this highly enjoyable concert. Polished, indeed masterly, playing and a superb Wurli installation, which includes a few extras that may have surprised (and pleased) the WurliTzer manufacturers. An obvious highlight is, "Amazing Grace", in particular with the "Pipes & Drums Corp" simulation which would delight the hearts of many true Scots.

    Bravo! Excellent concert, Dave. What a beautiful instrument, in a beautiful environment. That was the fastest one hour and 35 minutes I have ever spent. Pure joy. I saw you in concert a long time ago at the museum in Sylmar, California many years ago. I had the pleasure of speaking with you and you autographed my CD disk. One of my particular favorites on the CD is the Phantom of the opera. Gives me chills how you fade in and out during different sections of the song. Incredible talent, sir. Thank you for this wonderful concert!

    I'm curious why there are quotes around the video-text of "Wurlitzer Opus 1616." Is that not its _real_ name even though it seems like a real name? Or...?

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    WOWWW, what a superb performance, Dave! I love theater organs (this looks like a dance organ expanded to theater style); everything about how they operate is extremely fascinating to me and they sound so cool! And this was an excellent video! Which friend of yours was running a camera back in the Swell?

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm sorry for your loss of your wife Rhonda Sue (or Rhondasue, etc.; correct my spelling). What a nice dedication performance and video segment! Did you cry a little while playing that?

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Haha, it's kind of funny to see an air conditioner and its remote control right inside the organ!

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh my gosh, the Swell louvres look like parts of a dark curtain when they're closed! I wouldn't be surprised if that was by design.

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Good thing that any latency that might be between the organ console and the piano is so little that you can't notice it, as far as I know. Otherwise I bet it would be pretty trippy for the player to work with!

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh, I'm glad you played Amazing Grace! As Christians in general, and members of the Church of Jesus Christ specifically, some of my family members including me like that hymn even though it isn't in our current hymnal, but my dad is _particularly_ fond of it! And in 2018 the church set out to create a new hymnal, and they are still knees-deep in that project, and I bet a lot of people besides myself sent the suggestion that Amazing Grace would be included! We also suggested to reinclude Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing. It was in the 1942 cJCLDS hymnal edition and subsequent revisions until 1985, but for some reason they didn't include it in the 1985 edition with 98 and 2002 revisions, so a ton of us hope it will be included in the 20xx edition!

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    The dance organ's Great division doesn't look big/full enough to handle all that bass! But then you've obviously shown us some of the subinstruments of a traditional theater organ, besides the piano, that we definitely don't see in the dancer's Great. So is this set-up really like 2 organs in 1: a theater organ that has a dance organ as a subset, meaning that they originally just had the dance organ and played it with the theater console, and then expanded the organery to include these subinstruments outside the direct line from the the facade and back, creating a more true-to-form theater organ with the conversion? Or are dance organs just theater organs by default, that happen to have this style of facade on their Great section? Or what's the arrangement, exactly? And do you know enough of the history of this place to know if there was a time when they had the dance unit just by itself connected to a much simpler console (basically a small classical one)?

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh my gosh, it's so cool to have "bag"pipes in a dance/theater organ! How did you set the "drone" pipes to hold automatically?

  • @HelloKittyFanMan

    U used U-matic! Wow, U went WAY back, didn't U? But not 30 years; more like 50!

    Wow, nice work in your performances! I was also very impressed with your work on Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang over there with the Carmex guys!

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Ever since I saw a piano as part of a theater organ I've found it really fascinating that someone would be playing a piano from the organ keys, right along with other subinstruments and the pipes!

  • @HelloKittyFanMan

    7:04: Interesting that you didn't just edit the dog-shake out of that segment, since it started right after you finished the word "Rags."

  • @HelloKittyFanMan
    @HelloKittyFanMan ปีที่แล้ว

    Of course what we hear is how it sounds in real life, because what we're hearing *IS* real life! Just because something's not in person doesn't mean it's not real life.

    I see "Jancko Collection" in the description. But then what's the second apostrophe in your title supposed to be for? Jammin' at the Jancko's _what?_ Which possession(s) were you trying to refer to? Is it basically like saying "the Janckos' house" or "the Janckos' collection/museum" (a collection or museum of more than one Jancko)?
