Do you think that might have been product placement by the Hammond Organ Company? Two things make me think it's a possibility. One, that there was No Leslie. Two, they specifically said "Hammond organ" and not just "organ", "musician", nor "entertainment."

Actually it might have just been circumstance. In the beginning they went to the park and spoke to a Good Humor vendor. The truck was in the background, and the vendor was in uniform. Nothing was hidden from view, so I guess Jack Webb was more concerned with authenticity than PR.

 

Loved the punchcard computer also.

I had to look up what a quatrefoil Hammond was. I never saw one before. It looks very ecclesiastical. It probably feels kinda wrong to play Black Sabbath on one...

Back when I was in the market I went looking for a C because I had seen some Bs with legs broken in trailer mishaps and thought Cs were sturdier. Also, I went after a quatrefoil model just because I thought they looked cool. Of course, there were those who thought, as Wastrel did, that it looked a bit ecclesiastical for its current use. I used to tell them it was OK because I had performed a "decommissioning" ceremony over it...."Get funky now, get funky now...The power of James Brown compels you.."
