Organ player who played inside Alpha Beta Markets

Post by wayne winterland jr. »

Does anybody still remember the man who Alpha Beta Markets rotated for a week at a time to play the organ inside the Alpha Beta Stores.
His name was Bob Ward and Alpha Beta billed him as Bob Ward at the organ. He was a nice man who played nice organ music for those of you who like organ music. I believe that he rotated throughout the Alpha Beta Markets sometime in the mid to late 1950's but before American Stores bought out Alpha Beta Markets. He also used to sell his own records of his organ music while playing in the stores. I think that my mother still may have one of his records. It was kind of a nice touch to have something different inside the Alpha Beta Markets. My dad was an Alpha Beta Store Manager and I think that Bob gave him one of his records.
