Hi folks
Three Dog Night didn't use the Chamberlin til their "mid-period"
when Skip Konte join the group as second keyboardist and Chamberlin
maestro.(He was in the previously mentioned BLUES IMAGE).The
Chamberlin with me in the photo section of this group is actually the
one he used(an M-4)...my band was recording at IAM Studio in
Irvine,CA at the time(1980-ish) and Skip was the owner/manager.There
also was an interesting keyboard collection stored in the studio
warehouse including a Chamberlin 200(looked like something from your
grandmother's house)and one of Harry's Riviera's complete with
footpedals,as well as Stevie Wonder's Yamaha GX-1 monster.
