I bought 6 Hammonds tonight.

I'm thinking of remaking "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T" with Keith Emerson in the role of Dr. T

1. Was this one of them?

[kentauros]

2. I thought of that

but I don't think he'd appreciate being stabbed with knives while being played by Keith :P

3. ORLY?

[kentauros]

4. Yeah, the only problem is how to turn them all into one big keyboard

that can still be tilted to the floor on top of the 500 children as they stab knives into it...

5. 1990's outside of Philly... Earl Rice, incredible R&B combo leader.

.
Usually a quartet with a 70-something guitarist, 70-something
saxophonist/vocalist who climbed ATOP the bar 2-3 times a night
to belt out a song, 70-something Earl on organ, and they always
showed up with a new drummer in his 20's.
.
The drummers didn't blow up or nothin'... they just couldn't
get one to stick.
.
Earl played a BEAUTIFUL Hammond C-3 with one Leslie speaker --
a treat for the eyes and ears. I asked him if the rest of the
band disappeared when it was time to load and unload that massive
beauty. Nah... they boys they alright. I asked him if he were
ever tempted to get a new li'l electronic keyboard with Hammond
software in it. -- basically something near-equivalent in sound
without the weight of a moderately packed Greyhound bus.
.
"No," said he, "I love that wooden sound. One thing, though...
about the time I turned 65, I stopped accepting second-floor gigs.
.
Miss me some Earl, I do.

6. Stop.

Hammond time.

8. You're like a broken Hammond.

Are you, thus, only right twice a day?

:P
