N.B. organist called up for World Juniors games in Moncton
The fun also comes with a challenge. Aside from the mountain of keys before him, below the organ bench rests seemingly dozens of foot pedals.
Steeves’ fingers danced across the keys in the first period. One of his opening tunes was “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC, with every “Thunder” sung by the crowd, accompanied by two crashes from a symbol sound, which are kicked by his foot. He had to take his shoes off and play in his socks in order to get to the lower keys and a feel for the music.Zack Power / Global News
Lance Luce, the Detroit Red Wings’ organist, operates the same model organ and has been serving as a teacher for the Riverview native. He said that he’d begin to learn something new about the giant organ each game, saying that Luce has been a big help in getting tips and pointers.“You got symbols and bells and horns and whistles,” noted Steeves. “When you’re using both hands and both feet, it becomes challenging.
If given the opportunity, Steeves said he’d be happy to go back. For now, he’s looking forward to the rest of the tournament and the season with the Moncton Wildcats.
