/ˈwəːlɪtsə
/noun trademark
A large pipe organ or electric organ, especially one used in the cinemas of the 1930s.Unlike his stark, Crazy Horse-inflected debut of a few years ago, North Side Benches is a poppier affair, replete with synthesizers, Wurlitzers, glockenspiel, and a helping hand from Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy....
