Here she is! Still had the bag of screws hanging from the connection panel! The inside of this thing is super clean. So psyched. Unfortunately it'll be a few days before the tech goes through it and the Leslie arrives. I wanna hear this thing so badly. I thought you guys might like to see the beast hanging from the studio hoist. Always a fun sight.

Cheers!

A Leslie 122 has turned up! One of my studio partners who's got a bunch of gear here has one sitting around in his storage locker! Thankfully it was not present during his Hammond's untimely demise by flooding several years back. He's stoked to give it a new home at the studio and rev it up again.

Apparently, it has an extension pedal that enables one to use either a half-moon OR footswitch! Perfect for the studio. I'll be able to accommodate both styles.

The organ tech has been briefed and awaits it's arrival. Now we schedule the movers....

Thank you so much everybody for the kind words, advice and stories. It's all very exciting. I'm pretty sure my "gear luck" is run dry and will take some time to recharge, no doubt.

Cheers!

Hi Jack,

Your C3 looks absolutely beautiful ! I am "psyched" for you too ! Any chance your friend will sell to you the matching bench he picked up at the flea market ?

Please keep us all posted...

While it is getting it's check up and you are waiting for your Leslie, check out Larry Young, one of many jazz organists that I admire.

Congratulations,

Robert

Robert,
Is that the same Larry Young that played on Hendrix' Nine To The Universe?

Hi Pete,

I believe so. See the links below, the 3rd being an interview with John Mclaughlin in the September 1975 issue of Guitar Player magazine. Unfortunately, I have never heard that Hendrix album.

Around 1973, I started to collect a lot of jazz / fusion / Canterbury albums by British groups like Soft Machine and Hatfield and the North. A little later on, I became interested in groups like the Mahavishnu Orchestra and stuff like that. My friend's dad had the Tony Williams Lifetime album "Turn It Over" (Larry Young, Jack Bruce, & John Mclaughlin is credited) so we gave it a listen. Strangely enough, on some of the tracks I noticed a similarity to the British fusion sound I had already become familiar with.

A few years later, as I was getting into more "straight ahead jazz", I picked up some of Larry Young's earlier albums on the Blue Note label.
