I started out in the 50's on piano. To play with bands at the Honkey Tonks, I had to switch to the organ. Most places didn't have piano's and if they did, it was crap. Used numerous Hammond, Thomas, and Wurlitzer organs. Finished up with a Yamaha combo organ, purchased through the factory in Grand Rapids, MI. I still have a Hammond M-3 from 1958 in my home. It was called the baby-B. My original B-3 fell off the back of a truck at 55 MPH.(Long story) Now I have stuff that is more portable, but, still cannot sound like the vintage stuff did. And some of those earley guys were real monster players. Great stuff!!! cooldude

As the recording sessions for the single "Like a Rolling Stone" progressed, keyboardist Paul Griffin was moved from the Hammond organ to piano. Kooper quickly suggested to producer Tom Wilson that he had a "great organ part" for the song (which he later confessed was just a ruse to play in the session), and Wilson responded, "Al, you're not an organ player, you're a guitar player", but Kooper did not retreat this time. Before Wilson could explicitly reject Kooper's suggestion, Wilson was interrupted by a phone call in the control room. Kooper immediately went into the studio and sat down at the organ, though he had rarely played organ before the session. Wilson soon returned, and was shocked to find Kooper in the studio. By this time, Kooper had been playing along with Dylan and crew, his organ can be heard coming in an eighth-note just behind the other members of the band, as Kooper followed to make sure he was playing the right chords. During a playback of tracks in the control room, when asked about the organ track, Dylan was emphatic: "Turn the organ up!"

Great stuff, thanks for posting. Steve Winwood is there with the Spencer Davis Group. Saw him a few years back here at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Classic B3, Leslies and all. Phenomenal. Another underappreciated B3-ist is Georgie Fame. You should hear him on the recordings he did with Van Morrison.

 cooldude  I was part of a band for 12 years.  The keyboard player had a B-3 and Leslie speaker.  We called the B-3 the 4 man organ.  It took 4 men to load and unload it.  Cheesy
