TO DROWN OUT THE SOUNDS OF THE HIDDEN GOLD MINE OPERATIONS?  WAS THE MINE ACTUALLY LAID BENEATH THE MUSIC ROOM OF THE CASTLE?  WHAT WAS THE REAL REASON BEHIND THE INSTALLATION OF SO MAGNIFICENT AN INSTRUMENT AWAY UP IN THAT CASTLE IN GRAPEVINE CANYON?  HERE, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, ARE THE ACTUAL SOUNDS OF SCOTTY'S CASTLE.  THE SOUNDS AS THEY WERE HEARD THROUGH THOSE WONDERFUL YEARS WHEN WALTER SCOTT AND ALBERT JOHNSON MADE THEIR HOME IN DEATH VALLEY.  THE YEARS WHEN "WINDY" RAN AND BARKED AFTER THE GHOSTLY IMAGES THAT LURKED IN THE SHADOWS OF THE CANYON.  THE YEARS WHEN STORIES AND LEGENDS  TOLD OF THE MYSTERIOUS LOST GOLD MINE.... SCOTTY'S SOURCE OF ENDLESS WEALTH.  REMINISCE AS YOU LISEN TO THE ACTUAL VOICE OF THE MAN BEHIND THE LEGENDS.  ENJOY HIS OPEN HEARTED HUMOR AS YOU HEAR EXCERPTS FROM AN INTERVIEW WITH SCOTTY BACK IN 1948.  AND HEN, THE WESTMINSTER CHIMES SOUND OUT AS THEY DID NEARLY FORTY YEARS AGO.  WALK UP THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE TO THE MUSIC ROOM FOR A CONCERT FROM YESTERDAY.  FOR THIS RECORDING OFFERS NOT ONLY THE AUTHENTIC SOUND OF THE LEGENDDARY  WELTE MIGNON PIPE ORGAN AND ITS MANY VOICES BUT THE LAST REMAINING PLAYER ROLES WHEICH GUIDE THIS BEHEMOTH THROUGH ITS PACES.  THE WELTE MIGNON GRAND PIANO...THE TYMPANY,BELLS AND EVEN A CHINESE GONG...ALL JUST AS THEY WERE WHEN SCOTTY AND JOHNSON LIVED.  ALL PLAYING AUTOMATICALLY.. AND MAJESTICALLY.   AND, WHEN ITS DONE....A DESIRE TO LISTEN AGAIN AND AGAIN WILL PROMPT YOU TO PLACE THIS RECORDING AMONG THE VERY  CHOICE IN YOUR LIBRARY.  FOR HERE IS A TRUE BIT OF AMERICAN..A BIT OF AN ERA GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN....A BIT OF THE LEGACY LEFT BY A MAN WHO TODAY, WITH HIS LITTLE DOG "WINDY" LIES WITHIN HEARING DISTANCE.  WHO KNOWS, MAYBE YOU CAN STILL HEAR LAUGHTER RESOUND THROUGH GRAPEVINE CANYON.     ON LEGEND RECORDS.  THIS RECORDING IS AUTHENTIC.  NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO ALTER THE ORIGINAL RECORDED SOUND.     FEATURES:   SIDE 1:  INTRODUCTION AND SCOTTY'S VOICE *  CHIMES:  THE BELLS OF ST MARY'S *  ORGAN/LARGO FROM THE NEW WORLD SYMPHONY *   ORGAN/LARGO FROM XERXES * ORGAN/CRADLE SONG *  CHIMES/SOMEWHERE A VOICE IS CALLING  *  SIDE 2:  CHIMES/ MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME *  ORGAN/PILGRIM'S CHORUS FROM TANNHAUSER * ORGAN/IN A CHINESE GARDEN * ORGAN/AVE MARIA * ORGAN/STAR SPANGLED BANNER.    HAPPY TO GROUPSHIP AT REDUCED RATES.   THANKS SO MUCH!
