Donny is OK... I remember him writing once that his secret dream was playing the timbales in the Tito Puente orchestra, so it is obvious that he loves music with a strong, infectious beat.
A few days ago he wrote that he thinks that Bossa Nova after a while gets boring, so what do you say to that?

Who is right and who is wrong?
Is there an account for taste?
Where do we all come from?
Is there a life after the death?

Sorry for rambling...

Just like a certain body part... we all got em, eh?

Well, in no particular order

Keith Emerson
Gregg Rolie
Jimmy Smith
Rick Wakeman
Joey DeFrancesco
Charles Hodges
Benmont Tench

In fact, far too many to name or even try to pick a 'best'

All these guys mentioned can really (or did) shine.

I really like Leon Kuypers ... remeber that 1-hour Hammond demo on video he did a few years ago? The songs, his style, and the personality that Leon showed in that demo was very impressive to me. I wish he had more stuff available to listen to.

In the video, Leon moves to the B3 around 16:40 minutes in.

I like Barbara Dennerlein too. I would need hip replacements trying to play those pedals the way she does.

I'd prefer to listen to Hector Olivera on an Atelier than the so-called art in that recording.

Excerpt below is from an interview with Tony Monaco.

The full interview can be found here:

Tony Monaco Interview

"That’s how I met Jimmy Smith. I was so into Jimmy Smith. Once I started getting some of these things down, I would start sending Jimmy Smith cassette tapes of me trying to emulate him on the accordion. That’s how I got a call back from Jimmy Smith, because he was honored that an accordion player, a little kid, was trying to sound like him. "
