No rhyme or reason to it....just selected a style "Cool Blues"
pushed record and started to play what ever came into my mind
then saved to USB drive Wav to Mp3 no editing..
Just wanted to show the power of the EA7 & some of the sounds..
enjoy. Man it's early in the morning to be recording grin

Well done. I use that style for several blues songs, including the one I'm "working" on, "Still Got The Blues", by Gary Moore.

Thanx Don,...
can't wait to hear your version..it's a great song.
Also listening back I can hear how really good the EA7 sounds ..
So I have removed it from the for sale advertisements
and decided to keep it & not sell it at this time after all.

I think that's a good decision Donny. It's an inexpensive "fix" for you until or if a more suitable solution comes along.
It gives you a good arranger to play with at home, and if you do need to take it out, it will certainly handle the job.

Fran I sold two previous units,...had this one for sale but after listening and playing it more I realize it is just too good and fun to play so I am keeping it for now.. Besides that it has the easiest operating system and workflow of any arranger KB I have ever used.

Donny, Nice improve , EA-7 sounds really good.
I think with your talent, it would not make a difference what you played...it would be terrific!

I remember when I used to shop for a new Organ, they always said, listen to the Organ, not the player, because you can't take him home with you!

Donny, Nice job! The ea7 sounds great. I’m with Don...you’ve got a relatively inexpensive board to keep you occupied until something else catches your interest.

So true Lee, Donny EA 7 sounds really good.

Hi Lee , in my case it was piano. Tried to talk hubby into letting me take home the demonstrator, had to settle for a Disklavier instead.haha.

I remember I used to go into the LaSalles dept store in Toledo, OH...where they were a Thomas and Yamaha dealer....boy did they have inventory...2 guys worked there, there were great players. I would hang out for a while , my wife shopped. and I would get to play all there models. And even better they would play songs (demo) for me/us. It was inspiring, both to learn to play better and to lust after a bigger model Organ!

About once or twice a year, Thomas would send in Bob Ralston (Yes from Lawrence Welk show) and he did a concert. Also, Max Tacano from Yamaha....would come in to the store sometimes to just hang out and demo...and he did a concert once too.

The hay day of the Organ business.

I really enjoyed all that!

I used to demo organs, "back in the day". Yamaha, Lowery, Kimball...
It's really hard to make a Kimball sound good, but they were all easy to sell back then. The store would pay about a hundred bucks for one and sell it for 4-5 hundred. Just make it look simple.
I remember thinking that these home organs, had zero in common with B-3 or C-3. Different market, different target.
The biggest, finest organ I had was Yamaha FS500, It retailed for something like $15000. and ANY of today's arrangers will do more and sound better, with the right amplification.

Don, I also demoed Hammond organs in mid 1960's. After Hammond , neither Thomas , Lowery or any other brand did not sound good.

And Yes simplicity was important.. This was the first time I was taught to "sell the sizzle not the steak" smile
