Well said, Rick. This is NOT a cheap hobby or business.  But, no question
about it, a classic organ restored to very good operating condition
appreciates as it gets older like a fine wine. 

A "screamin" HAMMOND and Leslie can be almost priceless to many people,
myself included, regardless of  the business side of the equation. Hearing
Joey D play such an organ last night made me remember what I do this for. 

Other board members (Sal, Will, and others) who made the show will agree,
Joey just simply kicked ass.  Smith has good reason to be concerned. Joey has
earned the crown and he clearly intends to keep it.
