1. Would make John Ramsey proud!
Although noted for an articulate, deliberate and unruffled announcing style, sometimes he would mess up, as evidenced when a 1960s Dodgers game was delayed: "Ladies and gentlemen, while our ballgame is being temporarily held up because of rainy weather here at Dodger Stadium, our well-known organist, who is located in the centerfield bleachers, is going to entertain you by diddling on his organ." (This announcement was recreated in Kermit Schaefer's 1974 documentary, Pardon My Blooper.)

2. I've actually heard that story before
I'm an organist so we hear any funny about the organ. I used to play a Wurlitzer at an old theater in Ohio. The organ would rise out of the orchestra pit. One day on a local radio talk show I was describing the theater, the organ, etc. I told everyone to come down to the theater tonight and wathc my organ rise. Oops.
