All about me..



I gotta write quick.. finals :(
My guess is that I am infact the youngest on the list..19
I go to the University of Illinois at Chicago and live there
durring the school year (I move back to Park Ridge next week)
I am a Physics major and just a hair shy of a Math minor.
My equipment:
Hammond B-3 (1964 I think) Once played by Jimmy Smith I am told by good
                           sources.
Leslie 122...it came with the B-3 so I figured..what the hell, might as
             well use it.
Fender Rhodes 73 Stage Piano.. Got it from my neighbor for an old bike.
Roland JX-1...cheapest synth I could find with ok sounds..and it's midi.
Fender super 60...60 watts of tubes, 1 12" speaker..use it for the rhodes.

B-3 inspiration....well
We all like Jimmy Smith, and my Jazz records are limited, but I think
Larry young is amazing.
Jonh Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame is my keyboard hero. Not that he was
great or anything, just really cool. The first solo I learned was the
organ solo on You Shook Me (Zeppelin I).

Right now I'm not playing with anyone. I tried to start a ska band, but
couldnt get the horns together. Had a cool rock band. I kinda want to
start a blues thing if I ever get the time..(I have to work to pay off
that B-3 debt) That's all for now.
