I am so jazzed. A local organ repairman told me several months ago he&#8217;d keep an eye out for an organ for me. I told him I wanted a Hammond with B3 style drawbars and at least a two octave pedal board. He called this morning and SHABAM, here it is.<\/p>\n<p>This is a Hammon 328322 Commodore. It has a two octave pedal board, real Leslie speaker built in, string section, rhythm and all the accompanying cheezeball effects. I told him I&#8217;ll never use the other stuff, just the leslie and drawbars and  he said that&#8217;s typical of &#8220;real organists&#8221; and &#8220;purists&#8221;. So I guess I&#8217;m a &#8220;real organist&#8221; and a &#8220;purist&#8221; by that definition.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m conducting Seussical the Musical in  November and I was going to cover the B3 organ parts on my Korg CX-3, which is a Hammond B3 and Leslie clone digital keyboard. But the repairman said he&#8217;d haul this organ up to the performing arts center, so I might just break it in onstage for that show. Too cool.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Herb has been making fun of me for YEARS because he has a B3 with a Leslie and doesn&#8217;t even play keyboards. He&#8217;s been rubbing it in mercilessly. So Herb, if you&#8217;re reading this, and I know you are, I am hot on your trail buddy &#8211; getting closer to that B3&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And if someone is reading this and has a B3 or tons of money, I have an idea&#8230;&#8230;why don&#8217;t you send me a Hammond B3. Yeah, I think that&#8217;s a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image435\" alt=\"dsc01121.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/dsc01121.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image436\" alt=\"dsc01122.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/dsc01122.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image437\" alt=\"hammond.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/hammond.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, new to me.
