I love Joey and it goes to show what exposing a child at an early age to music can do. Imagine one of your first "toys" being a Hammond B3 ! And having a dad who was a pretty good player right there to show you right off how to play it.
I didn't get my hands on a hammond until I was 18 and even though jazz was a foreign language in the suburbs of NJ I loved jimmy Smith. I though he did all the bass on the pedals so I concentrated on learning them. Asked all the piano teachers in my college how to do organ bass like him and they were clueless. Everything taught was Classical playing. Even took a semester of Classical organ to get better on the pedals. I got pretty good, THEN I find out its all LH !!!
No Internet or Youtube to learn from.
While Joey was getting exposure to the jazz scene as a kid we were all learning Good Loving on our Farfisa's LOL!
Expose kids to ALL types of music while they're young, the benefits are many besides becoming a musician. The Arts in schools is important !
