Sorry to bother you with old news Joe... I thought it was an interesting topic, but I guess I'm not as up to speed as you are on the Organ Forum.

Any facts to support your opinion that Barry Morgan is fictional?
>> and Storage Wars is real.........................................

>> This comes as a response to some of the videos posted here recently which, in a funny way, mock the "old school" home organ market and general "aura" of those kinds of instruments. Here's an example:

Interesting observation but that is not SATIRE. This guy is an organ salesman.
Barry Morgan has run his own "Mum and Pop" business since 1981, see here
http://www.worldoforgans.com/.
(while you are at it check where he has gigged recently)
Some background, Spics and Specs is a music quiz show which includes a number of segments each week including a called "Look What They Have Done to My Show Ma" For this segment an unusual instrumentalist or group, for example a piano accordion band or ukelele band, play 4 well known songs in their own unique way and the first panelist to guess what the song is gets the points.
Barry was spotted doing a promo for his organ shop in a mall in the main street of Adelaide and invited on the show. In addition to running his own business the guy is clearly an entertainer.
Here is clip made while he appeared at the Edinburgh festival (Scotland)

appearance on UK TV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRhajLix0Lo
and guesting with Gotye (Grammy award winner last week)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHNpyiwYFv4
How many other Mum and Pop organ shop owners have, from a TV appearance in 2010, shot to international stardom in the last 2 years? How many Mum and Pop organ shops might find they have renewed interest in their product as a result of Barry's new found fame?. If humour sells and being a skilled Hammond Aurora player helps what is the problem?
Barry gets a Platinum "Good onya mate" award from me.
Cheers
Mark
