Hey guys,

My son recently scored big on his 4th grade oral report on the topic of tornados, and because he is my pinball partner in crime, used Whirlwind’s backing music as a part of his slideshow presentation in class.

It’s really amazing to hear Chris Granners work away from the game itself, and realized I tend to gravitate to his contributions to pinball (system 11/wpc).

Do you have a favorite?

I’d love to hear more about his career and what he’s been up to these days.
Thanks all!

Yes, and forgot to add “the dude” too!

Quoted from TimO:

I chose BOP as my first machine based mostly on the sound. Not the best criteria for choosing a game, but I don't regret it.

My first pin as well and no regrets ever, and I believe Granner did Pinbot too.

And agree, Whitewater has to go down as one of his best.

As I originally stated, this started with a love of our Whirlwind music that inspired my ten year olds class weather report.

Mr Granner, thank you for jumping in and sharing - we are both blown away!
Your contributions are an invaluable part of pinball past AND present.

No obligation at all, but clearly there’s an audience who may want to hear more from you at some point on either a podcast or other format.

Thanks again!

Quoted from FalconPunch:

Ha! was just about to post this here.
How good was Chris! Absolute legend.

I can’t thank you two enough for connecting with the master of sound and agreeing to time on the podcast!

Great mix of questions and insights while balancing time for stories behind certain titles. (T2 was great!)

What a humble guy. It was great to hear his passion around his individual creations and the deep respect he has for his colleagues. (Python, Richie etc.)

One of the best pinball related interviews I’ve heard in some time.
