Glenn and Brenda Derringer

Artist: Glenn and Brenda Derringer
LP: Accent On Dancing!
Song: "Blue Prelude"
[ listen ]

"There are those who proclaim that the smooth, mellow notes of the organ are the only musical sounds that can truly soothe jangled nerves and put a troubled mind at rest," say the notes on the back of this LP. I guess that's why they use organ music at funerals and weddings. I couldn't find much info on Glenn and Brenda Derringer, but the notes go on to say that this recording was made when the brother and sister were just 15 (Glenn) and 14 (Brenda) years old! and it looks like Glenn and some guy named Lowell Simpson were in charge of the entertainment program at the 2003 Wurlitzer Reunion in Chicago.

This cut, Blue Prelude, is awesome- I had to buy the entire album after hearing it. Sounds as though both Glenn and Brenda are playing separate twin Wurlitzers. These two were also Mouseketeers on the Mickey Mouse Club TV show.
