One thing to remember though; all my purchases for the last five years don't add up to ONE GENOS. One nice thing about being 'in love' with just one type of traditional instrument is that it tends to hold down GAS attacks. For the record though, I'm not an ORGAN lover, I'm a HAMMOND ORGAN lover. The truth is, I hate (well, hate is a strong word) pipe organs, theater organs, non-Hammond home organs; in other words, any organ (or clone) that doesn't begin with HAMMOND followed by an A, B, or C. The fact is, most jazz organist feel that way except for a few classically trained ones like Barbara Dennerlein. From Jimmy Smith to some of the great gospel church organists, only a HAMMOND can do what a HAMMOND does - stir souls.
