I Never Knew on Hammond B3

Here's a two-for-one arrangement of "I Never Knew," a really nice melody which was originally introduced as a sentimental ballad and then soon after was restyled and played at a signifcantly faster tempo as a combination Jazz/Ragtime song. There is not much online regarding a comprehensive description of this song other than it was written in 1925 with music by Ted Fiorito and lyrics by Gus Kahn. Both Bing Crosby and Peggy Lee sang popular arrangements of it. I started it off as a ballad and used a technique that was a favorite of the great theater organ performers like Jesse Crawford and George Wright which is called open chord harmony in which you remove the middle note or notes of a three or four note chord and play them an octave lower, in combination with a specific registration which calls for two flute type tones that play simultaneously two octaves apart.The result produces a very different and many consider a beautiful sound on any organ-like instrument that can generate approximate sinusoidal wave forms and also apply a substantial pitch-varying vibrato to the result. (Both of which a Hammond does very well!) I began the first verse using this effect for the melody, then a different type of sound for the first verse bridge where I played conventional chords but played the harmony above the melody. At the same time I used another theater organ effect which I have applied to this particular Hammond organ where it can add an additional sound to either the highest or lowest note of a chord. For the next verse and a half, I play it at a much faster tempo as a ragtime piece, and via a keyboard, I overdubbed a piano effect to carry the melody. It is mostly in the key of G, but for the last part, I play it in Bb, and then for the very last section, I slowed the tempo once again and finish it as a sentimental ballad. Also where noted in the subtitles, I use an individual note soloing device to single out the melody. This effect of automotic high or low note soloing was found on a few of the more elaborate theater pipe organs, but to my knowledge, Eddie Layton was the only Hammond performer who used such a device on one song on one album. I do not know how Layton did it, but I have copied the method that was used by the theater organ builders which can also work on a Hammond. Make sure you have subtitles turned on, and below, I have a time line which you can use via the "Scrub bar" below the video to single out specific sections of my arrangement.
