[sdiy] Hammond Vibrato Scanner

[GRAHAM ATKINS]

It was actually a keyboard player friend who introduced me to Bo  
Hansson so I
don't remember the name, only that it had a'walking' bass line  
accompanied by
a lead with the pitchbend quite obvious - sorry I can't remember any  
more, it was
some 26 years ago !.
