I walked away from my Hammond tone wheel organ once for a couple of years because I felt as if I exhausted the tonal combinations. My mistake. I, like a lot of other players fell into a slump of playing like Jimmy Smith and all of the rock Hammond players. BIG mistake. In the meantime I explored all of the other organs that were said to be 'useless hunks of junk' by other players who...play J.Smith & rock. A nice old Wurlitzer or Conn will only open your ears more to better your Hammond playing.
@paulj0557 Amen to that ! I've listened to, and have, the kind of stuff you're talking about. I still revert back to the older "classic" keyboards & artists. My father was playing this back in the early 60's ! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.... thanks for commenting !
Como a muchos les recuerda la música que ponían en las escuelas para anunciar la hora de entrada a mí ésta canción me recuerda exactamente eso en 1958-1960. Al escucharla a dos cuadras de la escuela debía salir corriendo para poder estar a tiempo. Me trae gratos y algunos tristes recuerdos de mi Ciudad Serdán Puebla.
Graças a Deus pelo Hammond sound! Seja onde for. Full bliss!
