Saw Tony last night here in Bluffton SC One of the best nights of live music I!ve ever experienced ! He!s always been the top Hammond player for me and proved it big time. Nicest down to earth guy too. We arrived early got to talk to him for about 15 minutes. The reason I really like him is he gets everything out of the organ, not just first three drawbar percussive single lines all night, although he smokes them too. Many tonal variations and harmonies and facial and body gyrations to match them all. He had the crowd applauding loudly from the first song and standing up and cheering by the end. If you get the chance to see him do it !!!

Sounds like a great time! He has a series of instructional videos that look interesting:

Awesomeness!!!!

No substitute for 2 hands and 2 feet combined with plenty of talent.

What i forgot ot mention before is he's really big on education of his craft not only with DVD's, private on-line lessongs and he does clinics at Colleges. Helps young players and thats great. Wish I was back in school again and had this available to me.
Keeping the organ and jazz flame burning.

Again, even if you don't care much for "jazz" go see his show, and it is that , its a show of top notch entertainment. It was held at a cigar bar but worth the stink.

I've seen him at several Summer NAMM's in the Hammond booth, and saw him at an evening gig during NAMM week.

Really talented, descent fellow.
