I've been considering the Soundcraft Ui24r for some time now...not familiar with this at all. I like the number of inputs on the Soundcraft, but this look pretty slick for sure...

I've commented earlier, but I'll chime in again that my 610 more than holds up in a two guitar band. Our two guitarists use tube amps in the 40 watt range. Although we all try to keep it down, we can pretty loud sometimes. No problem for the MS amp whatsoever. Where I place mine depends on how much room I have on stage. I try to be similar to the guitar amps behind me, i/e at the same level aiming straight out. I also use an amp stand tilted back right behind me if there's no room near guitar amp....

You gotta love YouTube! Lee playing piano...the comments indicate the drummer is Keith Knudsen, who played in the Doobies?

My god, I lusted for all of those models! That must have been from '81 or '82?

I have a Kurz Artis 7, which is kind of an updated, similarly functioning keyboard. I like it for the same reasons people wax nostalgic about the XP-30.

No, he was saying his was a Model A, the very first Hammond model. 1935-1938....The 3 series didn't come out until 1954-1974....Quite different from the 3 series.

Forum member nursers mentioned this is in the Tom Jones thread, and I had not heard that it was soon to be released! I thought a thread should be started about it: https://thesessionmanfilm.com I see they did a showing in LA last month....bummed I didn't know about it. Like I'm sure many here, I can hardly wait for it....HUGE fan!

Feliz cumpleaños Dave! And thanks for your continued hard work to keep the lights on here!

I seem to remember reading or hearing (can't remember which) that Leon Russell late in life toured with some kind of lightweight keyboard as he was coming down with similar problems?

I enjoy all of his interviews, and am surprised at the opinions to the contrary to be honest. Interviewing is hard stuff; I've interviewed Bill Clinton and Robbie Robertson to name a couple of bigger names, and I describe it like dancing with someone you don't know for the first time. You have to find the tempo and rhythm, and sometimes you don't quite get it as smoothly as you want. And sometimes the people you're interviewing just aren't in the right space for it for a variety of reasons? A lot of it can be out of one's control. And, if it's someone you admire, you have to check yourself sometimes and not show super enthusiasm and over-geek out. I think Rick has found a wonderful niche for himself (and us), and usually asks many of the same questions I would want to know from the various artists. It is a business, so he has to put his hand out a bit, but it could be a heck lot more annoying than it is. I've loved each and every one of his extended interviews, and I tip my hat to him for finding his niche and working hard to get these interviews down and out. Many of these folks will not be around for much longer, so there's a historical aspect to documenting these stories for all to see. Watching this, McDonald does have kind of a sleepy delivery when he's interviewed I've noticed, so this was par with what I've seen before. But the stories were great, and like Hammond Dave, I found the parts about his dad super interesting and really very touching. You can tell it was a complex relationship, as many can be with parents. And great to hear the St. Louis stories from Dave Ferris - fascinating as well. I never would have guessed it was him on the Bacharach tune; great singing for sure, but he didn't sound like "him", or rather the voice I associate with him starting in the 70's forward.

Definitely in the style of Wright......see below: https://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/2015/06/george_benson_englewood_home_frank_lloyd_wright.html

Or more likely the Nord Electro 73 I also own...although in the Before Times I did have a 73 Rhodes. But of course I was only 4 years old then....

Sorry, meant 76. Sheesh.....I even have an Artis 7...and still typed 73...:(

I will reiterate my hope that they do a 73 version as well, although it doesn't seem that that will happen....:(

I do know it was a 200, and not a 200A. If indeed it was yours, I know it went to good hands when I sold it (via our own Dave Bryce). A fairly well-known artist got it....
