Joe Muscara Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 http://www.examiner.com/article/billy-gibbons-brings-friends-pair-of-b-3s-to-new-york-gigs [video:youtube] Besides Gibbons on his own, the distinguishing factor of the New York shows was the novel B-3 duo. We first experimented with it on Daryls show, said Gibbons. Then when we started thinking about the solo shows, we wondered, What would make them interesting? and figured one B-3, is good, two are better. We couldnt place it having been done before, which was all the more reason to do it. Flanigin did point out that while B-3 players Jimmy McGriff and Richard Groove Holmes recorded together, it doesnt happen very often. Its the extreme outer fringe, because youre hauling two [b-3s], when hauling one is hard enough, Gibbons explained. So they rented a pair of the big Hammonds for Guigui and Flanigin.

Jim Alfredson Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Mike Flanigin is a cool dude. Here I am playing John Patton's road organ, which Patton's widow gave to Mike upon Patton's death. Mike and Big John were pretty close. [video:youtube] I've known Mike since 2003 or so. Great guy and I'm really happy he's with Gibbons. Keep it greazy!
