Dan Bellomy
- ... that an impromptu sound-check by Dan Bellomy turned into the first track on an album? Source: Musselman, Dan (September 2001). "For the Records: Fulton Blue". Theatre Organ. Vol. 43 no. 5. San Francisco, California: American Theatre Organ Soceity. p.29. "Right at the opening of Fulton Blue, we are treated to a piece of Dan's on-the-spot composing, "Morton Madness." Far from being a piece of insanity, this great opener came about as a by-product. As final adjustments were being made by recording engineer William O. Schlotter, Dan was asked to play some of his loudest registrations to set recording levels. He played "the first things that came to mind." It came together as a finished work, sounding for all the world like something he had worked on and polished for hours, if not days."

- Comment: moved to mainspace September 23, I'd been working on it for some time in draft-space, and COVID has significantly interrupted access to some important sources.

The article was moved to mainspace in time and is long enouugh. I assume good faith on the offline references. The hook is directly cited and a QPQ has been completed. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 16:52, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the hook fact in the article. Yoninah (talk) 12:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: It's the second sentence under the "Performance and publication" heading. "When requested to play his loudest registration selection for purposes of calibration by a recording engineer, Bellomy improvised a piece from scratch that wound up as the opening track on the CD." 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:10, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
