Larry Seibert at the Sage Hen, Claremont

| | Comments (0) |

Reader Bob Given alerted me to the existence of a vintage LP by organist Larry Seibert, recorded live at the Sage Hen Cafe in Claremont. The Record Robot blog has a picture of the (almost blank) cover and a wry writeup that begins like this:

"Should you have been traveling on Route 66 through Claremont, CA in the late '60s, and the smell of manure hadn't affected your hunger pangs, you'd have maybe stopped in at the Sage Hen Restaurant to dine sumptuously on glazed ham and a delicious fruit ring mold. If you were really lucky, Larry Seibert would be jazzing up the place on his Gulbransen Rialto Organ (with Gulbransen Select-A-Rhythm attachment) while you ate. And if you were really, really lucky, perhaps he'd autograph a copy of his album, Larry Plays Again!, for you, as he did for the fortunate soul who owned this copy before it became mine."

Read the rest here. Given says he wants a copy of the LP regardless. Anyone own one?
