| Stop sweep of the 3/17 Mighty WurliTzer Theatre Pipe Organ installed at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee [link] . |
| This is the magnificent 3/17 Mighty WurliTzer Balaban 2 Theatre Pipe Organ installed at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is one of only a few original installations left in the United States. The organ was delivered to the theatre in 1928 as part of the Publix series. In 2001, restoration by Ken Chrome of Reno, Nevada was completed. Lyn Larsen carried out the final voicing. The theatre holds a free one hour concert on the first Monday of the month at noon.

High atop a green mountain knoll, a lonely faerie looks down on the world and sees it troubled by the unrest among humans. She knows it will take strong medicine to set things right. Her powerful magic is not enough. She must summon the spirits of goodness to help her save Mankind and heal the Earth. She kneels down to pray as tears of sorrow roll down her cheeks. Even faires cry... Artist Collaboration This artwork is a collaborative effort between two artists. My best friend, Lyvia Bruno, provided the original line art she mnade which can be found here [link] . This work stands alone without further action, but I was compelled to colour it, being some of the neatest line art I have ever seen. I downloaded the oroginal image and opened it with Paint Shop Pro 7 as the first layer of a new file. Next, I applied colours with a paint brush and added the stars using tubes as additional layers. I then applied soft blue overhead lights. Finally, I added a buttonized frame in three stages before overlaying the signiture text before merging all the layers into the finished image you see here. I hope to do more collaboration with Lyvia, for not only is she a wonderful artist, but also a beautiful spiritual companion, who gives me unconditional love of the most rare kind indeed. I can never thank her enough. All I can do is return that unlimited love for all time. Blessings and good karma be. |
| These are the most recent additions to my gallery. Feel free to take all the time you want exploring the vast collection of art made by me as well as the many fellow deviants I have enjoyed and added to my favourites. I am thanking you in advance. |
This is a small sample of the deviations which I have submitted to my Gallery. The collection includes photographs, 3D renders, traditional artwork and literature. They are classified inside folders according to subject matter or theme. Currently, there are over 1,905 items in the Gallery. If you decide to view them all, be prepared to spend a considerable amount of time. Thanks in advance for looking, faving and commenting. Enjoy. |
These are pictures taken by myself and my fellow deviant and great friend from Clearwater, Florida, the illustrious Tom Hoehn, TPO player extraordinaire. The beautiful instrument in these pictures is a magnificent black waterfall console equipped four manual theatre pipe organ built by Rudolph WurliTzer in 1931 at Tanawanda, New York. This huge organ of fourty-seven ranks is installed at the Roaring 20's Pizza & Pipes restaurant in Ellenton, Florida [link] . |
Here we have many pictures of perhaps the finest Theatre Pipe Organ in existance, the J. Tyson Forker Memorial 4/32 Mighty WurliTzer installed at Grace Baptist Church in Sarasota, Florida. It was originally installed at the Miami Theatre in Jacksonville, Florida. Restoration and enlargement began in 1994. Designed by Allan Miller and mantained by Norman Arnold for the Manasota Theatre Organ Society [link] , a proud chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society [link] , the instrument was dedicated in 2001. |
A church is not complete without a massive pipe organ to thrill the congregation and bring them closer to the Makers. Here we have a hybrid classical instrument featuring a Rodgers custom four manual console, 33 ranks of pipework by Wicks, Ruffatti and Robert Morton, and 60 digital ranks by Rodgers. The organ is located at First United Methodist Church in Clearwater, Florida [link] . |
This collection of pictures shows off the electronic organs I have had the pleasure of playing. They include classical and cinema intruments as well as synthesizers and virtual organ setups. There is one among them I truly miss, the Mighty Conn 3/17 analogue electronic theatre organ [link] which was with me during my stay in California during 2007-2008. Also featured is a very large Allen 4/89 American Heritage digital classical organ [link] installed at the All Faith Chapel, China Lake Naval Air and Weopons Station, Ridgecrest, California. |

Design our new avatar and win $50 devcash!As #turkiye, Turkish Community, we are looking for a new avatar to get ready before the groups system arrives.Design our new avatar and win $50 devcash! by #turkiye
Your design must be as awesome as our current avatar. It must be easy to recognize that it's the avatar of Turkish Community. Best suggestion is using fella and Turkish flag together as in the current avatar, but that's not a rule. Just make it original and recognizable. Size is 100x50 pixels (apparently that's the size for group avatars), but we also need a 50x50 pixels version of your design. Make it as a jpg, gif or png. There's no limit for the file size for now (later we may request for a smaller one if you win).
There's no deadline. As we receive your designs we'll make polls to see what our members think about the designs. When we find the perfect one, everyone else will have one week to beat it, or the contest gets over. The winner gets $50 deviantdollars!

a need for restI do not believe in heaven,a need for rest by ~erikalr
Not believe in hell
I just want to go home
I do not have a death wish
Do not want the ripers bell
I just want to go home
I am tired and Im weary
I cant take this anymore
I just want to go home
My mind and soul are bruised
And my body is all sore
I just want to go home
But for the ones in my care
And the love that is not here
I will not go home
Just yet..

The 1,000,000 point donation drive is now open. First to donate and get things started is my fellow TPO enthusiest, David Irwin, from Ashland, Virginia, also known on dA as *Passacaglia28. Thanks, Dave, for getting the ball rolling! The Slow Dog wants to give back to dA what has been given to him, the pleasure of great art. Loyal patrons and wonderful friends who have enjoyed his art for over six years are owed many thanks. Words are not enough. He must do more. To that end, a donation pool has been set up to collect a massive amount of dA points, to be given to various deviants as contest prizes and awards of artistic merit. One million points are to be collected before the contests begin. We are talking about major awards and prizes here. A lofty goal. One million points. Not for my use, instead, to award all my fellow deviants so they can get subscriptions and receive their favourite deviantSTUFF. This is a long term project, so there will be no time limit. However, when the bar hits one million, the contests will begin. Here is a teaser... And so on... Prizes and rules to be announced at the start of the contests, which will accept new deviations beginning on each contest start date. Older devs will not qualify. Thank you in advance for your generous donation. It shows that you too believe in giving back to the community what it has given you. Blessings and good karma be. |













![]() Year of the Monkey by *BlazeTBW ![]() Zodiac - Libra by *strawberrygina TENNESSEE ![]() Tennessee Flag Wallpaper by ~ChickenEyes ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although I go by Ranger Ricardo here on dA, I was born Richard Elmer Mogridge of William Edwin Mogridge and Mary Naomi Perkins in Maryville, Tennessee on October 21st, 1956. I grew up in Townsend, Tennessee on the farm known all over Blount County as Fallbranch Hollow. I am primarily of Scottish descent, though the 1/8 Cherokee blood in my veins from my Dad's side of the family dominates my genetics. The land I grew up in, which is mostly wooded, was originally purchased in 1930 for 10,000 dollars by my grandparents on my father's side, William Frederick Mogridge and Mary Alice Walker, who had relocated there from their previous home in Zainsville, Ohio where my father was born in 1923. Most of my people are from New York. The beautiful farm is famous for a spring fed waterfall located at the north end of the property where a limestone cliff of 115 feet in height separates the mountains above from the valley below. It is lush woodland that looks like a fantasy scene straight out of a Walt Disney movie. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only three miles east of the farm, now owned by Romulus Myers, Attorney At Law, who purchased the 40 acre tract from the family in 1976 for 100,000 dollars. Today, it is worth over a million. |
"We could prevent a lot of unnecessary hatred, strife, and war if everyone in the world could all just understand and have the courage to say, 'My religious beliefs/non-beliefs are my opinions/preferences. They will most likely never be proven/disproven in my lifetime. They may not be the same as yours, but they are no greater, nor lesser than yours.' This would remove a huge source of needless conflict from the world." |
