This is me messing around on a Hammond C2. The song is It's De-Lovely, written by Cole Porter. The arrangement is mostly made up on the fly, but I hope you enjoy what your hear. Please excuse the handful of mistakes - this is not CD material... :-)

Thanks for listening,

Mark Herman
Chicago, IL

  • just when i thought you couldn't get any worse...once again you prove me wrong OY!

  • Thanks, I love you too. LOL

  • Very nice playing! Love the Hammond Organ. From your attire, let me guess: You don't live in Los Angeles or Miami Beach, hahah!

  • Not quite! This was in Fort Wayne, Indiana this past December. The Hammond was in an unheated room -- about 40* F! My fingers were a bit frozen.....

  • very good, your organ has a great sound! Hammond C2 organs are very rare or?

  • The C2 model isn't particularly rare - it is much like a B3, only it does not have the percussion effects and is in a "church-style" case. This particular organ was built in 1954.

  • great job of playing this great song

  • I think I lost my comment (either that or you require approval, lost my connection and woulden't know either way)

    I would love to know what registration you used at 1:19 -- it sounds very lovely. It is wonderful!

    Is that a A-105 Hammond? (or A series?)

    You should consider getting that room heated! The Hammond uses many vacuum tubes to assist in modifying and amplifying the sound, they go from cold to hot quickly. The extreme temperature changes could cause problems down the road.

  • nice touch

  • You have a well trained and refined gift. Wonderful choice of registration, and seamless changes. Very few players can get such a "pipey" sound out of any electronic, much less a vintage Hammond.

  • Mark, I just want you to know that it is awesome to hear some one young like you that likes to play good sounding quality music, instead of that "rap crap" that about 95 percent of young people seemed to be hooked on now days! Excellent sound and playing!

  • I don't hear any mistakes.. and if there where, please play them again next time when You play this piece. You are brilliant.

  • One of those rare performers who demonstrate that making music is much, much more than just playing.

  • Mark, My God--is there any musical world you can't conquer? My C-3 and Leslie 102 are just beggin' for your musical wizardry. You are one of our finest!

  • That was simply incredible!

  • Wow! Mark.. You are amazing.
