Del Castillo (born Lloyd Gould Castillo,Шаблон:Efn April 2, 1893 – July 6, 1992), was a cinema organist, theatre organist and composer, who provided music for radio series such as Stars over Hollywood,[1] Hollywood Theatre of Today,[2] and Satan's Waitin' ,[3] as well as a number of animated short subjects, including several featuring Mr. Magoo.[1] In addition, he served for several years as both program director and staff organist at WEEI (AM) in Boston.[4][5][6]

Early life and career

Castillo was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the only child of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Martin Castillo. Mrs. Castillo, the former Minnie May Gould, was herself an accomplished pianist and graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music,[7][8] who also performed with Caroline Nichols' Fadettes of Boston.[9] She personally saw to Lloyd's early training, giving him piano lessons at age 4. Shortly thereafter he attended the Faelton Pianoforte School, and, by age nine, was performing in public.[10] He continued his studies at Rindge Manual Training School and later attended Harvard University, where he served for two years as conductor of the Pierian Sodality before graduating in 1914.[11][12][13][14]

Daily News critic Ben Gross, in an otherwise dismissive review of the short-lived summer replacement radio series Satan's Waitin', wrote: "The best part of it to this listener was the eerie, howling background music provided by Del Castillo, organist, and Dr. Samuel Hoffman, playing the theremin."[3]

Castillo also founded a school for theatrical organists, the first such school in Boston.[1] Among his students was longtime Fenway Park and Boston Garden organist John Kiley.[15]

Personal life and death

Scarcely two months into Castillo's sophomore year at Harvard, The Boston Globe recounted, in rapid succession, the indictment, arrest and conviction of his father, Dr. Frank del Castillo, sentenced to three to five years in Massachusetts State Prison after "plead[ing] guilty to an illegal operation involving Annie Gallagher Sept. 6."[16][17]

From June 15, 1920, until her death on June 14, 1975, Castillo was married to Phyllis Arlene Woolley.

On July 6, 1992, Lloyd Castillo died in Los Angeles at age ninety-nine.[1]
