Hammond Medley

Disclaimer: It might be self-evident, but I am completely self-taught, and have not had formal piano / organ lessons.

Just a small sampler of me playing what I do when I think nobody's listening! The organ is a Hammond A-100 with a Leslie 122 in the background. Most likely not my best work, but it is a sample. Phil - if you're watching, I apologize right here and now, and I am most unworthy to be in your presence, your royal highness! Please forgive me father (mother ? ! ? ) for I know I have sinned, and I know not how badly I make your ears bleed! :P

That A is so beautiful!I cannot stand the sound of a synth trying to duplicate the majesty of a Hammond organ.The tone generators and the drawbars and the marvel of a leslie!Your heart and soul to GOD'S ear!Although my principle is guitar and voice I have been dragging these bad boys around for YEARS.The gig is on the third floor and the elevator is broken.

Thank you for the kinds words. I have 23 keyboard instruments, including 3 Hammonds and 2 Leslie 122s. I don't play near as well when I am being watched/recorded as I do when I think nobody is listening! I haven't played in public for a number of yrs, I enjoy backing up a band, rather than playing lead. I admire anyboy who can manage 6 strings on a guitar. There are too many variables for me! I can't mess up on keys, but I can't manage the strings. I have 4 guitars, & can't play a note!

That thing in the back - by the Leslie is a tanning bed! I tan every-other-day to keep psoriasis away.. I do have a couple synths - one is a rare Baldwin syntha Sound, and there are 3 guitars back there, as well.

@atheistkyle1989 That red spinning thingy is the top rotor of my Leslie 122. The lower rotor is just out of view, behind the keys of that Baldwin Syntha-Sound synthesizer that is just behind my Hammond A-100

What's that thing in the back to the right of the Leslie? It looks like a coffin.

Do you practice in a funeral parlor or something? It looks like you have a synth and a bass back there.

Jammin' at the Mausoleum!
