I remember hearing a Groove Holmes recording where he does a pretty 
incredible downward pitch bend in the middle of his Hammond solo.  I 
always wondered how he did this.  If I could add a speed control to 
the tone wheel motor on my hammond safely I would love to do it.  It 
would be nice to have a pitch bend or fine tuning control.  One on the 
leslie would be great, too.
