The Hammond organ is as sacred to me as a guitar is to a guitarist, it's the same as an extra arm or leg...very personal. Like sex, cant do without it.

It first came to my notice in the mid sixties when I was introduced to Jimmy Smiths music - and that was it. I had to have one....

Yes, you could say that 888oooooo is the basic rock setting. I use 888600246 / 888644688. Also 024688642 for percussive bits and cat squeals etc. There'll be plenty of that on this new Heep cd.

Hope this what you want
