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

2019-07-19 20:11:05 +0000 UTCYea, 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

2019-07-19 20:10:16 +0000 UTCGo, 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.
