Hi, I'm Brian Lucy. I'm 45 years old and a Database Administrator (DB2) and now live in the Kansas City area (originally from Southern California).
I started singing in 2nd grade and started playing the Hammond organ (N-312) in 5th grade. Started with the organ because I was insulted when they told me that I was only eligible for the clarinet for band because of my overbite (my oldest daughter plays it, though)!
I stopped playing the organ in college, but started playing keyboards about nine years ago for church events. I then got interested in getting a 'real' tonewheel Hammond and bought a Porta-B and Leslie 45. I was then fortunate enough to trade the organ only for a 1936 Hammond AV and Leslie 21H (which I converted to use a PM speaker and 147 amp after totally restoring the cabinet). I also have a 1959 Hammond A-100 at home.
I now sing and play at church with the Hammond AV, a Wurlitzer 200A, and sometimes one of my synths (Kawai K-3, Kawai K1-R, and Roland XP-10). I also play in a Christian blues band, which I have a EMU B-3 and MAudio 61es controller keyboard that I use for live plus one synth.
