@RedBackFur – I was forced to check this out, compelled you could say, because my grandmother owned a Hammond B3 and it was a feature in a nightclub she owned. Now I remember why I didn’t follow in her footsteps – can’t hold a fake smile like that!
As for your comment, those are several words I never thought to see strung together in the same sentence…”80 year old and organist.” LMAO!
OMG: I actually saw Ethel Smith Live in concert (in 1978!) play Tico Tico. I was a budding faggot playing the Hammond as well, but could never get my Tico Tico speed or flair to her level. She was quite a trip, and even in her 80s, was an excellent organist.
That was Ethel Smith. A wonderful lady I had the privilege to meet on a cruise may years ago. The great Brazilan bombshell, Carmen Miranda also sang this song in a movie back in the 30’s or 40’s. Okay, you young guys have no idea who she is either…right?

Wow, she was wonderful! What fun! And, Bob, while I didn’t know who ‘Ethel Smith’ was, I do indeed know who Carmen Miranda is.
OMG! and WTF!!!! o-O

Man! “I mean, Lady…” It’s bad when even gays 75 years in the future can tell you were nerdess.
I’m not sure what I just witnessed… her skills with that organ were just mesmerizing.
Who was that?
what… in the hell. totally creepy.
Thanks! I needed this. Now I need to buy an oversized tambourine for rainy days 😀
