I have a vertical Sunday night at a restaurant that features music 7 nights a week, (Yup they still DO exist!), and last night after a few regular patrons sang with me, a non singer friend asked "can that machine do a Hammond organ sound?"
Well, years ago, I'd be a bit insulted that someone wanted to hear the machine instead of the performer, but I've mellowed with age. I was also tempted to say that a Hammond was capable of about a MILLION sounds, but I held my tongue, cuz I knew what he wanted.
I did an organ feature medley of "Then You Can Tell Me Goodby, Because, & Whiter Shade Of Pale" ... easiest $10 I ever made. He was so happy.
