Dave Bryce Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Apparently, brother Bobby is going to be on To Tell the Truth on ABC tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 8th) to see if their panel can find the real ballpark organist… 🤔😀 That’s pretty damn cool. dB 7 Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It's true! Filmed early last year so not all my answers will be truth at this point!! (like what is my team's standing). This was a lot of fun to do. They grilled me on every aspect of my job so that we could prepare the other two fake organists to answer convincingly. Looking forward to seeing it myself after so long. 2 4 Quote Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adan Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 That's very cool, but did we take a time machine back to 1961? I've got some too-tight suits in my closet that could be in fashion again . . .

S_Gould Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 @Adan- I think that describes all my suits at this point. [back on topic] I'll have to DVR it, as I will be front row center for Rick Wakeman tomorrow night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyNQ Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Is there a way the internationalists among us can watch this? Sounds like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Zeger Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 The fastest way to the truth is putting the 3 contestants at a keyboard and telling them to solo on 3 blues choruses.

pinkfloydcramer Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Guess I haven't been following KC closely enough to even know Bobadoshe was a real ball park organist. But that explains that slammin' version of Take Me Out to the Ball Game! Which would come in handy for those "playing piano in a sports bar" gigs, which I consider to be like Battle of the Bands, except it's Piano Player at one end of the joint, Big TV at the other.

allan_evett Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Dang...I wasn't able to tune in until 9:20, CT, and Bobby must've been in the first group.

I did, and it happened to be exactly 10 years before the day I filmed To Tell The Truth. I wanted to talk to George about it but I didn't get any chance at all to talk to him.

Did a production person contact you or you contact them? They found me. It must have been all the way back in Fall of '20. Some producer filled out my contact form on my website and reached out on Instagram. At first I wasn't sure it was legit. The whole process was pretty fun. As the one telling the truth, I had nothing to be worried about. I really had a blast coaching the other two guys on answers to every possible question you might be asked, from 'what kind of organ do you play' to 'how did you get this job' to 'what's your routine at the ballpark' and 'who is your starting shortstop'. That's me playing my Hammond SK2 at the end for TMOTTBG, and I'm happy to say I didn't screw up or hit any clams! It was a pretty fun day's work. 4 1 Quote Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB Dave Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 For those of you who couldn't watch it before, ABC has unlocked the episode. If you're outside the US you may need a VPN to view this. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
