Even though I'm mostly read-only, I'd like to second this.  I recently had 
the opportunity to meet Al and Bill Goff.  I left with nothing but respect, 
admiration, and jealousy.

Al and Bill Goff are two great personable and unpretentious guys.  They made
a rank amateur such as myself feel at ease even though they've helped the 
super stars get that "Hammond sound."  They not only know what the elusive 
"Hammond sound" means to each individual's ear, but they know how to tune 
and tweak the Hammond and Leslie to match the sound in someone's head.

I'm sorry for going off like this.  It's just that it is very rare for me 
to meet folks with such a wealth of knowledge that are willing to spend
time (a whole bunch of it, too!) speaking with a complete knuckleheaded 
no-chops chump such as myself.
