Reviews follow tomorrow.

I have always said Barbara is the best on the Hammond; her foot technique is incredible. Friede and I have been to a concert of her, and to see that foot in perpetual motion is an amazing sight. At one point she did a double foot solo on the pedals (she usually uses her right foot for volume control) without keys which would have made many a bass player put away his bass forever.
As great as she is though I think she is not fitted for the archives because her territory is jazz, although sometimes she really rocks; just have a look at this video (and listen to the incredible bass lines she plays with her foot):

I've PM'd it to you

Incidentally - re the differences between the C3 & B3; it really is just the cabinet - one story I read was that the C3 was more popular as a church organ, as the new cabinet meant you couldn't see the female organists' legs.

I have decided to publish my Hammond Special on Tuesday evening, today I will PM some collaborators to inform about their contributions to that Hammond Special. For me it's hard to make it not too extensive, so many choices concerning Hammond pioneers, masters and specialists and even more choices concerning my favorite 'Hammond drenched' CD's and DVD's  For example, yesterday I played a new CD entitled Areknames Live, this one should be mentioned in the Hammond Special, what an exciting work on the Hammond organ

Yes, I'll admit that I am ancient but I spent my formative years in the glorious 60s when prog was born and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
