Hi Daryl, Dave
Yeah I couldn’t get over how mechanical the internals of the Leslie speaker is with the spinning parts, and those glowing tubes! It’s all quite ingenius, engineering marvel from 100 years ago, that even today fascinates it’s adoring owners.

Here’s an interesting video on the inner workings of a Leslie speaker, and everything you want to know about them in 9 minutes. Now I understand how that unique signature warbling sound effect of the Hammond organ is produced.

Hey!
I’m glad everyone enjoyed that Hammond documentary. It’s a good thing that electric bridge table stopped being a seller for them, to make way for the Hammond Organ.
Hi Len
It is remarkable how versatile the Hammond organ is utilized by church organists, and musicians from pretty much all the genres from jazz, rock/pop, classical etc..
The Hammond even made way onto some Beach Boys songs like California Girls etc. On this track from Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson does the honours on the organ as that Hammond provides the fabric for the song.

Hi Tomas
You always add an elegant and classy flair with the way you cherish and honour MLT merch in your place. Those Scribble Art Prints are all so beautiful and magnificent.

This is one of my favourite Beatles performances on stage. Despite whatever tensions might have brewed in the end, you can see John and Paul enjoyed playing together here.

Hi Chris
Thanks for sharing your experience seeing Billy Preston. I bet his organ playing was astounding too. It’s too bad he passed away in 2006, it would have been great to see him on stage again, say with Paul or Ringo in their 80s. I’d say Billy must have been one of the luckiest musicians ever to have been able to take part in creating music with the Beatles, and obviously respected by the Fab 4 for his musicianship skills.
It must have been absolutely joyful as you can see Billy Preston smile when John yells “take it Billy!” and he gets to do his keyboard magic for them.

Thanks Tom! 👍 Hope you’re keeping well. 🙂

Hi Chris
I recall Mona and Lisa stated a similar sentiment about the Beatles a while back in an interview that they were the greatest together, and their solo paths never equaled what they accomplished together. John and Paul’s talents certainly complemented each other, as did George and Ringo. Together they created a spark far greater than the sum of their parts. The song writing partnership of “Lennon – McCartney” had a mass appeal unequaled in pop/rock or modern music history period.
I always envision John Lennon as a modern Beethoven, and Paul McCartney a modern Mozart. It would be interesting what kind of magic spark a “Beethoven – Mozart” composing partnership could have produced. Genius expression of emotional depth meets the genius expression of sublime melody.
Here is a song that really underscores the Lennon – McCartney talent team work. Such a timeless brilliant masterpiece.

Hi Dave
Yeah some great keyboard work there on the Hammond. It’s such a unique and elegant looking instrument in it’s wooden cabinet taking direct heritage from those pipe organs in Bach’s day in a past meets present day feel underscoring the longevity of music that spans as far back as humanity itself. It looks ultra cool on stage with modern electric guitars, drums, and synthesizers.

Hi JP
I envisioned Pink Floyd being the instrumental masters they are would have utilized the Hammond to it’s full potential on their songs, and in this one at 3 minutes in it sounds spectacular as it runs with the guitars, just like the way Lisa and Rudolf did it in Raise Your Head.

Hi Dave
Yeah I think there will be some great organ sounds in upcoming originals. In fact I was listening to the song WHY? and I noticed nice organ work in there along with the cello part. Papa Rudi’s new Hammond will sound great in WHY? for sure. I didn’t know you were into organs. I think a small upright organ would be great to sit in the corner in basement somewhere.

Hi Thomas
That’s an impressive scale model there of the Hammond C3. It’s remarkable the detail in the keys.

Hi Jacki, some great singing by Mama Cass. I guess this was her solo work after leaving the Mama’s and Papa’s. I can hear that nice organ work in the background.
