And I love being in this seat to do this part of it,' Ed Alstrom said.For the past 60 years, the organ has been a constant presence at Yankee Stadium.
He said, 'Which do you wanna play?' I went for the organ,' Alstrom said.'You could've been the polka king,' Overmyer asked.'Maybe someday I'll rue the day,' Alstrom said, laughing.Alstrom explains the radical difference between a piano and an organ, despite both having keyboards.'Organs have multiple manuals -- two, sometimes three or four, and there's pedals.
