Jessica has the distinction of being the rare instrumental that still gets significant radio play. An amazing achievement. Dickey's singing/writing/playing contributions drove the band's rise to their highest level of commercial success in the mid-70s.

Band life only. Never knew there was such a thing as home life.

Brian's career has really taken off with acclaim from Downbeat mag and others. In 2017 he subbed for me at a Doors tribute concert in New Jersey.

I do like the Stage 3 Compact. One thing I would like to have in the Nord organ section is Filter, Envelope, and Modulation control like it has in the Sample/Synth section. My lowly Casio WK from about 20 years ago does this and it adds so much versatility in creating different types of organ sounds. Since the Casio was marketed to the novice market very few of its users even know about this capability. I have looked for other keyboards with this hidden feature and haven't found it anywhere else at any price.

There is a drawbar setting I really liked but it caused my C-3 to glitch every so often. That setting is 088000000.

Lack of foldback in the upper octave of Hammond spinet organs wasn't likely known to be an issue at the time. On the chorus of AWSOP Fisher plays the same chords in the top two octaves which intentionally or not has the effect of compensating for lack of foldback creating a fuller sound. Both hands in the upper octaves can be seen very briefly here. Can be better seen on much later live versions when he played a Hammond console: In this instrumental mix the notes with Percussion sounding can be heard more distinctly. The Percussion seems to be most prominent in the same part of the verse each time around and mostly not heard in the rest of the song.

"Hush" by Deep Purple from 1968 is the iconic version of that song. Joe South wrote it for Billy Joe Royal whose version was a top 5 hit in Europe but only made about top 50 in the US. Many others have covered the song but Deep Purple's version is the only version that still gets heard. When I first heard Billy Joe Royal's version in 1967 the Na-Na-Na-Na bit reminded me of the part just before the last verse in The Beatles "A Day in the Life".

Listen to live versions. There are some of Eric playing with J.J. Cale, Steve Winwood, and others. Clapton often did his songs quite different from the recording in concert.

Creedence Clearwater could do a cover and make it their own. Their versions of "I Put a Spell on You" and "Suzy Q" outdid the originals. "I heard it Through the Grapevine" was so different from Gladys Knight and Marvin Gaye's versions that it became a major hit again. George Thorogood made a career out of covering old blues and country songs and having hits with them.

It wasn't mine. I had a 200A.

My Wurlie didn't have an extended pedal cable when I let it go but who knows where it was between 1983 and the early 90s.

zxcvnm098, maybe you got my old Wurlitzer. It was last known to be in the Santa Ana/Costa Mesa area of Orange County in the early 80s.
