It's Hammond B3 Organ Day

NIACIN and anything with Bruce Katz are my favorites.

Having said that.....I can remember Steve Walsh of Kansas doing those hand stands on his B3 while playing & singing. I guess I saw Kansas 8 or 9 times?

Maceo's Roots & Grooves - Advanced Funk and Pass the Peas has some real
funky live Hammond B3 by Germany's Frank Chestenier. I'd also suggest The
anthology collection of The J.B.'s with James Brown playing the organ on several
tracks and simply outstanding on Dirty Harri

Fer yor clarrsick proggy, maist famoouse 'ammond twacks werenae B-3.

B-3s wor varra rare in owd Blightay. Europe alser.
Instaid C-3s wor distribo in Limeyland (frue Boosey & Hawkes.)

Surprizin' muckle werenae ewen 'ammond consoles bur wor th' spinet models:

Genesis "Trespass" =L-122 (alser oan "Foxtrot" n' "Nursery Cryme")
"Cinema Show" - wor a lowlay non-tonewheel, T-202 transistah joabbay

Nice "Same" lp & Artwoods = L-100
M-100s oan Affinity lp n' Floyd "Pompei" n' YES "Time & A Word". Focus "Hokus Pokus".

Ah fink, Procol's 'Whiter Shade of Pale" wor a M-111, bur nort shure.

O' th' consoles, th' twa baist-kenned UK keysmon, Wakeies n' Keefers, usid C-3 (Keef usid an' cheaper L model ter stick knives in.)

Mair den nort, Jon Lord usid C-3. (Hissen white C-3 endit oop oan bottum Hudson River.)

Danlib1 - I second Joey Defrancesco - he is the greatest of all. He plays on Pat Martino "Live at Yoshi" - one of the better jazz records I know. He came to my small town last fall during thunderstorm and flooding and play to the audience of about only 30 people - it was unreal.

Aye. Fowk ur ignurunt cahnts. (Juist luik art dis forum, fer Crikeys!)

Turdy peoples ter sees Defrancesco! Wot does dis speak o' yor town?

Ah wor art similar free corncert in me 'ometown.
