I would also like to thank swinging Melbourne drummer Michael Jordan for making it down on a last-minute call from Bernie to take care of business on the drums.” “I own 2 Hammond B3′s myself and have played them up to 7 nights a week, so I can tell you that the organ you will hear on this recording, the “New B-3″ digital has captured the sound and feel of the B3 that we all know and love right down to the most subtle effects, it is indistinguishable from the classic mechanical tone wheel Hammond.” Jon Hammond City Hall Records All my records are available directly from City Hall Records, thanks Folks, Jon
