Too much piano. I went for an organ concert. Other than that it was good.

Loved it! Great popular organ music and rare historic film/video TV and cartoon clips from the Disney archives -- "Ethel" was in top form in this gorgeous Hollywood movie palace. The only thing missing was their fabulous curtain show--
