I just arrived home from a memorial service held today for Kay. It closed with this song -- "Tea for Two" -- recorded by Kay. How nice to be able to remember him by watching and listening to this!
-
Instead of a thumb down, just put a comment like not my kind of music but well played? This man played awesomely 👌

Back in the mid-60s, I attended many a Kay McAbee concert at the Rialto Theatre, Joliet, IL. His performances always combined great showmanship with gentle....and often humorous....commentary. My organ teacher at the time, Faye Wheeler, often sang his praises. We miss you, Mr. McAbee.

Kay was his own show! Having met him many times is the Chicago area. No one could match him for showmanship. Great person!
-
Listened this for years once in a while, bringing me really in this bright, swingy mood... To me Theater Organ means Kay McAbee... Rest in Peace...
-
He was a magnificent and talented music maker!
-
Absolute Bravo! So wonderful ! Reminds me of the old days when we as kids would go roller skating to this kind of fun organ music! Kay McAbee was one of the greats and thank God for this technology that allows us to enjoy his talent even today! RIP Kay

Magnificent. Rest in peace Kay McAbee.

Always some magic about a theatre organ. Played properly as here even more magical.

It was wonderful to meet Kay when he was up here in Wisconsin several years back. He was another one of the few "greats" who will never be replaced. I play Tea For Two but to be sure- nothing like Kay played it. There are musicians like me who can do OK and get by. A musician like Kay was is someone who is endowed with that special sparkle that sets them far-far above the so-so players. I sure wish I had it but then again I so enjoy listening to those who can play like Kay did.

The sound of a theatre Organ is always something else. Thanks for sharing.

I think I watch this more than any other video on YouTube. Simply fantastic to watch this man conjuring another time in history through his knowledge of this instrument. RIP

As a Las Vegan as well as a organist, what a thrill to hear this very talented man before his passing. A special thanks to Phil Maloof for arranging for this man to play his great Kimball organ. Jerry

I had the good fortune to spend an evening with Kay after a concert in Kansas City. This man was full of music and full of stories. He played with "both sets." He is missed by all of us in the theatre organ world--in fact, the music world in general.
-
You are sorely missed Kay. Between this, Cherokee and Ol' Man River, I'm about blown away. You were fabulous. My wish is that you rest easy.
-
Well, This is music that makes me feel good..
-
I could listen to this all day! Amazing performance by the amazing and talented Kay McAbee, R.I.P.
-
After the intro, and you know it's coming, the first few notes always blow me away.
-
What a cool guy. This is going into my favourites.

This man truly knew his way around a theatre organ. He's one of the old-time and all-time greats. What a treasure to have this video of him before his passing. Thanks!
