Sorry if it's a repeat....

Who is Dr. Smith?  I imagine he is a blues organist, but I have to plead 
ignorance wrt his music.  Our paths crossed recently, and it's funny that I 
now read about him, not knowing who he was when it happened.  About 4 months 
ago I went to look a "B3 and Leslies" for sale at a church a few miles from 
where I live, (Easton,PA).  To my suprise, it actually was a B3, (9 times out 
of 10 it's a BV, BC, B2, M3....), and it came with a pair of Leslies.  I'm in 
the middle of negotiating a very fair deal, when the seller gets a call from a 
man in Florida who wants the organ, sight unseen, full asking price!  I'm 
sweating bullets at this point, so I fall to the floor, screaming "Mercy, We 
had a deal....."  Thankfully, the sellers were extremely nice, and ended up 
selling it to me, rather than a Dr. Lonnie Smith....
I guess the least I should do is get an album or two of his.  Any 
Recommendations?
