Chas, you hit the nail on the head. I do miss playing "for real"

and my fondest memories takes me back to early eighties

playing a Hammond X5 with small Italian rotary speaker and

pedals coming through a small bass amp. Right now I'm reeking

with nostalgia and I'd love to have an organ, pedals the lot.

I wont have to worry about a leslie speaker and probably wont

make any money playing jazz standards, whereever. But for me

music was not about money when fell in love with it 50+ years

ago.

I will continue playing arranger for gigs/money and it's

unlikely that I will upgrade to a Tyros 5 or the like.

Thanks all for the contributions..............now to get some

money for that organ, where's my arranger !!!!!!!!!!!
