Slightly off topic, but it looks like Joey is selling one of his horns... Joey's trumpet on eBay

Scott has posted here, a few months ago under the name "organfreak", surprisingly enough!

I should add it sounds gorgeous as well. I played it for about 30 minutes... had a crowd around me by the time I was done! It sounds beautiful.

Oh it's worth it. That's actually not a bad price for an organ that old in that kind of condition. Seriously, it is mint. The keys feel like they've never been played. Not a scratch on the pedals. The rubber on the volume pedal doesn't even have any wear. It's gorgeous.

I have seen the future. Digital smiley art.

I gather that it was some kind of trading site?

Then again... there is that mint condition 1959 Hammond B3 at my local music store for the bargain basement price of only $5000! It would sound so great on our next Organissimo record. If all of our members contributed just $5, it could be mine! Ha!

I appreciate the sentiment, but personally I think we get advertising thrown at us enough these days. You can't even take a whiz in a public restroom without staring at some ad. That said, the "donate" button is still functioning!

Ya think?!?!

Done.

Threw it down the toilet is different than flushing it down the toilet, as the original post claimed. If she just threw it in the toilet, and didn't flush it, I could see having to dismantle the toilet to get to it. Why am I arguing this!??

Had to dismantle the loo in order to find the penis? What kind of toilets do they have in England?! If I flush something down the toilet, it's in the sewer system in about 3 seconds. GONE! I doubt the truthfullness of this story.

You hear it all the time around these parts!!! I can't believe this thread devolved into a rant for or against the Varitone. Christ, people, get over it. Sometimes I think people don't actually listen to the music being presented. Sonny Stitt could play a damn plastic $5 recorder and the shit would be soulful.

Your attitude is disgusting.

That is interesting. I always assumed that McGriff started at roughly the same time as Holmes.

Damn. I guess I should unwrap that baby and play it!

i'm wit you

The one to get is Live At Paul's Mall. They are both playing B3 on that one and it's sloppy, but some really funky, cool moments on it. I have this record but I have not listened to it. Those are NOT Hammonds on the cover. I don't know what kind of organ they are off-hand. How is it, Mike?

Dang... this whole time I've been giving mine away for free!

It's a damn conspiracy!

I knew you wouldn't let us down, Chuck!

There is an easy solution to this in order to preserve the status quo: The board posting leaders must make all their posts even more aggressive, so that che will not respond, thus protecting said posters positions as post leaders.

Wow! They look even better with the snow! We have plenty of snow here as well, and I just drove into Ann Arbor, which has more than Lansing. Fun!

Pretty, yes. But it kept me home when I intended to go see a concert in Chicago! You decided not to go, eh? I don't blame you. It's supposed to turn to freezing rain later. No fun.

Wow. That definitely sounds like Larry. I think we have a winner. COOL!
