Wagner, they sound really great on that organ espcially the Rising Sun piece!
...btw :how "30+" exactly are they - three of the four are 40+ by my reckoning ...though 40+ is still 30+ I know.... ...and it's given me a good idea for when I'm 40 : I'll just tell people I'm 30+! LOL! ;)

Heck, I'll just shortly be celebrating the 29th anniversary of my 30th birthday.

terrible innit! I had the 21st of my 16th this year and frankly the novelty is starting to wear a little thin!

The arrangements are very well done and completely appropriate to the instrument I think. Well done.
I'm amused when people think of the "House of the Rising Sun" as new. I guess lots of folks think the Animals wrote it in 1964. The earliest known recording of this "modern" piece of music was in 1933. It was certainly old then and it's speculated that it could trace back to the 18th century.
That doesn't detract from the effort, most listeners will think of it as a 60's folk-rock tune.
Cheers,

Thank you all,
Yes, the tunes are not really modern, but being younger than me, I will call them modern. Except for "House of The Rising Sun", I didn’t know about its history; thanks Roger. Now I have seen the article about it on Wikipedia. Maybe it deserves an extra effort to get a full version.
I will not call those tunes as my arrangements. I simply moved the notes around to fit the scale, deleted a fell, and took care of the overlaps and spacing. An arranger is somebody with advanced knowledge of music, which I don’t have.
There’s another video:

Those are more recent music, from the 90's and 2000 or so.
