Tom Waits for sure. It's a thick sound...Is that one note or octaves?

This is a rather brilliant addition to the Streetly library to be sure. I think that Mike has many hours on a pump organ buried somewhere in his past -- although he would never admit to it. Probably, he played for a small Presbyterian church in a remote corner of the Highlands when he was a wee lad.

As for the sound itself, it sounds to me like all the stops were pulled out to get that sort of sound. It might be interesting to have a different recording with only one or two to use alongside this one.
