Here are a few of our favorite questions and responses:

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
@LAKingsBob:Who are your favorite Kings players? Former and active players, please!
@TheOneandOnlyLAKings: Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lessard, Marcel Dionne, Steve Duchesne, Luc Robitaille (hi, boss!)
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
@Kingsfansince1988: Why do fans sing along with "All the Small Things" and "My Own Worst Enemy" and when did that start??
@TheOneandOnlyLAKings:ASK YOURSELVES THAT. It started a few years ago and so I just kinda went with it. Fans sing along, so who am I to tell them what to do?
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
@Just2d2: My question for you is what is your all time favorite moment from your job as an organist?
@TheOneandOnlyLAKings:In no particular order: - 2014 Stanley Cup - 2010 Olympic Gold Medal Game - 2017 World Series (...the good parts)

@bdmakana:Do you just have all these tunes in your head or do you have sheet music on-hand?
@TheOneandOnlyLAKings:They're all up in my head. Definitely don't have much room for sheet music. I love to learn songs by ear!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
@PlumBand:How did you find your way to being the soundtrack of Los Angeles? Did you go to school for organ performance and work into the job from there, or was it just the sort of thing that fell together with being in the right place at the right time outside of study?
@TheOneandOnlyLAKings:Yeah, over at the University of Organ on 3rd Street. I took classical piano lessons growing up. I just kept playing and ended up in the right place at the right time.
\\\good one, Dieter\\\
