I agree with Tom. What kind of nonense debate is this about Blaspheming the
Hammond? Play what you want, have some personal integrity, perform it as
competently as you can and hopefully create some good effects and communiate
and make a few people feel good!  Classical, funkical, jazzical, bluesical,
popical, avantegardical, who cares - just burn!!!

 PS Sorry, I'm new to the list here I have been observing the posts as
suggested for  about two weeks. It's great to see there are Hammond fanatics
out there. I never knew there was so many. I love it! Check out my website
for more info on who I be. I have a new project that will be co ing out this
year called NIACIN. It is a high energy instrumental rock/funk/blues power
trio featuring myself on a cutdown  double manual velocity sensitive B3,
rock bassist Billy Sheehan from Mr BIG fame, and an up and coming
drummer(joke) called Dennis Chambers. WE call it NIACIN as  for you
nutritional freaks, the vitamin B name for NIACIN.... thata's right you
guessed it is B3! Since the concept is to have a simple Organ based trio
playing rock/fusion, we dicided to name it NIACIN as naming it B3 would have
been a bit hokey!!!  The album is done and will be released sometime in June
and we will begin  touring in August probably. Check out my new website and
feel free to communicate.

L8R niacinites!!!
