This is Rudy Rosa, i found this video of him on the tube and he is presenting all his gear :

Does anyone recognise this kind of behavior in building an instrument around him?

If it wasn't for my personal Frau director my house might look like that too.

And he knows how to play too....

Yep, definitely a gear junkie. Excellent player as well.

Thanks for the link,

He's well known in Organ Circles, however for me personally I find the sounds he produces are not my cup of tea. (A bit too bright and shrill for me)
You can't knock him though

Bachus, thanks for sharing. Fantastic! I love the sound of Rudy music.

Wow Bill, I can't thank you enough for this post. I grew up in Florida and cut my playing chops there. I was a OMB organist playing first a Lowery and the a B 3. I did this for several years. I was often compared to Lenny Dee who I often went down to hear when I had some time off. I played in Tallahassee, FL. If I had stayed in Florida, I probably would have remained an organ player/vocalist. I took some time off to get a real job in hotel management which took me several places including a couple of years in St. Thomas. When I decided to leave that biz and get back into music, I was in Baltimore and there was no market for organists. So I became a keyboardist/pianist/vocalist. Once I discovered arrangers, there was no turning back. However, I still do love the organ style of playing and Rudy does it well. Thanks again!

LOL - this is a good clip to show the wife to stave off her scolding my gear appetite (nah, wouldn't work)
