Lenny Dee - Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Lenny Dee performing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" on November 2, 1982 at his club, Lenny Dee's Kings Inn at Treasure Island, Florida. Lenny plays his customized white Hammond Model A. On drums is Lenny's son, J. R.. This is a clip from a personal video. This is the only video I am aware of that shows Lenny playing his custom white model A Hammond (please let me know if you aware of any other videos of Lenny playing this instrument!). Many more clips of Lenny performing music and comedy skits taken from my video can be found in my YouTube channel.

@kghutson What was your organ tech's name !!! flyingfingersmark in Galena Il Owner of a B3 and two 122 Leslies and PR-40 ...also added reiteration to upper manual and a Digitech digital delay stomp box wired into the back of the B3 so I get echo on both manuals and pedals ! Now I would like to find a Hammond Solovox ! Then my B3 should be complete ????? Any comments !!

The organ model Lenny played is a Hammond short case A, not a B-3. This was one of the first organs Hammond made. The B-3 didn't come out until the mid 50's. This short case A had many of Lenny's ideas incorporated into it, echo reverb, reiteration for the drawbars on the upper manual, special effects such as the steam engine whistle and many other things. A technician I used to use was Lenny's tech as well.

Wikipedia says "Lenny Dee: January 5, 1923 – February 12, 2006".

He became 83 years old.

I used to go to Lenny Dee's Dolphin Den in the late 60's, thanks for posting, it brought back great memories of a simpler time.
