TWB121234 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I will just post this link to a Village Voice article. I know I learned a lot about the Hammond's history and players I know as well as many I had not heard of. It's a good history for those interested. Apologies if I did not post the link correctly.

Polychrest Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The content alone was compelling, but the skillful packaging made it a pleasure to read. Great eye for detail: a 1000-accordion marching band at Chicago"s Soldier Field? An 'orchestra' of 53 Hammond spinets performing at the same event? Wow.

HammondDave Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Amazing article⦠I only noticed one obvious error... The author writes about Billy Preston playing a Lowrey and not a Hammond in the Beatles" Get Back sessions. The fact is that Billy is indeed playing a Hammond hooked up to the Leslie for the last few days when everything was recorded. The Lowery was used earlier in the sessions, and stayed in its place near George Harrison. But on Day 18 at Apple (Part 3 - 24:42), you can see them moving in a L100 and a Leslie 147 and installing the organ next to Billy"s Rhodes. Also, listen to the Beatles 'Let it Be Naked" mix of the Let it Be album (a must listen). You will hear the Hammond very well!
