Wow!! Great perform, man.

I miss the "ME GUSTA!!" from the kids, like in album.

I bought 926 East from CDBaby with other hammond band albuns (Link Quartet, Big Organ Trio, Men from SPECTRE, 2B3, Diplomats of Solid Sound, Reverend Cleatus, Captain Hammond, etc).

Mclemore Avenue is on the top.

Cheers from Brasil.
