I was given a CD of Hot Pipes downloads early this year as, at that time, I had no way of connecting to the Internet at any speed that would allow for my listening to the shows. Since then, I have been able to obtain more of them and have enjoyed most of the music very much... You usually select great music played by great artists on great instruments... thanks for promoting theatre organ as you do.
Chris Anderson, Champaign, Ilinois
Just to say keep up the brilliant music. I am one of your younger listeners (ie under 30) and fully appreciate the music you are playing. Thank you.

Last Christmas I was given an iPod and happened to stumble across "Hot Pipes" through iTunes. As a subscriber, I am now in seventh heaven, with hours of magical cinema organ to listen to, and better still - more to come each month.
I am one of your listeners you referred to who play "Hot Pipes" on my iPod while travelling. Those dreary long flights to Europe are
now much easier... Thanks Steve for your great presentation - keep up the good work.
p.s. I have still to download heaps of great music from "Those Dancing Years".
Brian Berkshire, Melbourne, Australia
Like your show very much... Keep up the good work, and I would like to hear a few more british organists from vintage years - people like Vic Hammett and Horace Finch plus of course Quentin McLean, Reginald Foort, Reginald Porter Brown, Sidney Torch etc etc!!
Howard Beaumont, Scarborough, England
I've been listening to "Hot Pipes!" Lots of fun!
Vincent Fitzpatrick, Lidgerwood, North Dakota
Since finding your site and subsequently your weekly radio show, having now downloaded and listened to all your archived shows, I felt I had to write once again and thank you for such a wonderful programme. In my 1st email, I asked you about Jack Strachey's "Theatreland" and sure enough you promptly played a Richard Hills recording on your next show - what marvellous service! I do like the "international" flavour of the show - where world-wide artistes are featured, I've now heard a lot of theatre organs and organists I'd never heard before... Once again many thanks for all the splendid work you do in keeping this "King of Instruments" alive.
Dave Brown, Manchester, England
Thank you so much for your 'Hot Pipes' program, it has become my constant companion when traveling. My iPod is loaded with all available podcasts at all times. It has been especially nice to hear some selections by my former teacher Jim Roseveare who passed much too soon in 1988... Thanks again Steve and please keep it going.
Greg de Santis, USA (West Coast)
Faithful listener, Paul Gelsleichter, told me about the Hot Pipes podcast, and I have begun listening and promoting it. I have place links on michaelsmusicservice.com, my organ music business, and www.mtos.org, our local ATOS chapter... Anyway, as the comments indicate, your podcast is VERY WELL LOVED in organ circles. I will continue to tell my friends about it.
Michael Johnson, Michael's Music Service, Charlotte, North Carolina
Just a note to let you know how much I enjoy "Hot Pipes". I've just subscribed to the podcasts for my new iPod so will get every program as soon as it's available.
Gloria Athanos, Tampa, Florida
A large thank you for the program and especially making the archives available. Through this means I am able to enjoy this great TO music. I have been a fan for some time and have meant to send you a thanks.
Ed Nupnau, Roscoe, Illinois
It's been quite a while since we corresponded, I bought one of your Crawford re-releases and was (still am) thoroughly satisfied... Thank you for the 'Hot Pipes' show which I recently discovered, anytime I have a few minutes at the computer I download one of the old shows and listen to it for the first time... Please keep up the good work, I will be an ardent fan from now on.
Dave Pratt, Bardstown, Kentucky
I enjoy your program tremendously... I have listened to nearly all of your programs and enjoy the variety and your interesting comments.
Barry Henry, New Orleans, Louisiana
I enjoy your Hot Pipes programs. Like dancin' too! Greetings from Marion, Ohio, US.
Tom Yannitell
Thank you for doing what you do to preserve the era of music past. What truly adds to what you are doing is the quality of the broadcast material... Yesterday I listened to your Theatre Organ productions that were full spectrum. Loved it all...
Moments ago I managed to get to your Dance site. All I can say is “Wow!” The broadcast comes through in full stereo and surround sound. And what clarity.
Ed Burnett, St. Louis, Missouri
What a wonderful collection of theater organ music. It shall give me much enjoyment during travel. I have downloaded and recorded on cd all of your TO programs for a total of over 31 hours of listening pleasure. All the great artists seem to be represented here... Thank you again for all the wonderful sounds of theater organ. I'll check back for new programs.
Dan Rowland, Cleveland, Ohio (Western Reserve Theater Organ Society)
Thanks for the Hot Pipes programs. The programs are most enjoyable and I just love hearing your selections, both old and new.
Looking forward to hearing more in the New Year.
Richard Phillips, Sydney, Australia
I am a member of the Garden State Theatre Organ Society (GSTOS) and I am currently working on the installation of the former Rainbow Room Wurlitzer in the Rahway Senior Citizens Center in Rahway, New Jersey. The crew and I enjoy listening to your (downloaded mp3) broadcasts while we are working. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained.
George Andersen, Rahway, New Jersey
I wanted to thank you for providing such a wonderful tribute to Stan Kann on your recent broadcast... What you are doing to share theatre organ music is really wonderful, and I want to thank you for doing such an important work!
Don Walker, Joliet, Illinois
Just wanted to send you a note and say the Hot Pipes show is really great.
I am able to download your shows and listen to them during the morning commute. Lots better than the "local" stuff that passes for entertainment around here in Mississippi, US.
Thanks again for your efforts.
Frank Evans
I wanted to "Thank You" for your nice compliments about the Central Indiana Chapter and the hosting of the recent convention...
Keep up the good work.
John Royer, Central Indiana Chapter, ATOS
Steve, Today I discovered your podcast programs, Fantastic! Thank you for an excellent collection of shows. The 128kbps stream is in beautiful fidelity... Listening in Salem, Virginia U.S.A.
Patrick Farrell
First of all, many thanks of the superb podcasts of the beautiful Theatreorgans. I've enjoyed it very much.
We're from the technical team of the Compton Theatreorgan at Haarlem in Holland.... We'll look forward to the next podcast. It's a joy to hear.
Jan Roffel.
Member technical team and webmaster "Lady Compton Haarlem"
I just finished listening to the Dan Bellomy tribute show and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. The content was very well assembled and tastefully done...
Thanks again for your work with Hot Pipes. In my humble opinion, your show is one of the best theatre organ PR things the world has going.
John DeMajo, Richmond, Virginia
A quick note to say how much I enjoyed listening to the 1-hour Hot Pipes show on the music nostalgia site. I really liked the big American sound that you get out of the recordings, and all the selections were superb! Keep up the great work,
Brian Keith, Copenhagen, Denmark (formerly from SE England)
Just to let you know that I've downloaded your podcasts and they're great! We've just spent some time traveling by air (ucch!) and your shows made the trip bearable. Nothing like some TPO while being mistreated by an airline at 30,000 feet.
Keep up the good work--I'm subscribing.
Dave Whitmore, Vermont
First of all I would like to tell you how much I appreciate your Hot Pipes show. I found out about it when I joined the theatreorgans-L list. It's nice to hear what's out there, as many of the libraries don't carry this style of music, and, as a college student, I can't afford to buy every TO CD that comes out.
I like that show's format, how you play a little bit of everything ... I'm looking forward to the show featuring Dan Bellamy. I've never heard him before... Good Luck and keep it coming!
Jonathan Gradin, Spokane, Washington
I am sitting here at the moment preparing for my end of semester exam which is next Tuesday night and happened to come across your website. I am very much enjoying your show. I have only heard the programme of 4 June 2008 but will get through all of them after the exams are over. This semester’s subject is a total bore, so thank you for giving me some light entertainment this afternoon.
John Giacchi, Melbourne, Australia
... Your voice and the music prompt pleasant memories of your KPCC days.
Jim Merry, ATOS Executive Secretary (Fullerton, California)
... I clicked onto your radio shows and even though I have been around T.P.O. for around 40 yrs, some of your recordings I haven't heard...
John McLennan, Melbourne, Australia
I live in Scotland and very much enjoy your radio programme Hot Pipes via the Internet. It absolutely hits the nail on the head in covering exactly the type of organ music that I love. Like many theatre organ enthusiasts I suppose I have a fair number of the recordings which you play. However, this is not a negative as it is really so interesting hearing these recordings as you choose them along with your anecdotes and stories. Of course it is also great hearing tracks which are new to me. Keep up the good work!
