I just recalled that I was the one that talked Tommy into using auto accompaniment around 1990. We both worked in a couple of the big home organ companies that are so popular in Florida. When he did concerts he always liked to play the pedals and left hand manually on console organs. We had switched to a Technics dealer. He was supposed to do a cruise, concert thing and he didn't know how he was going to play the spinet organs having shorter keyboards and pedalboard. I suggested using the styles as they were pretty good. I remember him saying, "I suppose I could do that." Funny how things turn out sometimes organ

Tommy, at least to me, sounds just like Willie Nelson. I love the styles he used for all of the songs, and his playing is outstanding.

Cheers,
