Keep up that old Hammond style of the 50's and 60's. While the audience might be shrinking due to attrition, those dinosaurs remaining love every rendition.

Starting in the mid 80's I played endless tunes from this era on the Cordovox accordion both solo and with bands in Eagles Clubs, VFWs, anniversary celebrations, auditoriums, etc. It pains me that this audience is shrinking due to attrition. I really miss them. They were the classiest people, had the greatest sense of humor, hardest working people ever, family oriented, and I could go on and on. Steve Raab keeps this alive with his KZbin videos.

As always, you always come through with that golden Hammond sound! I literally came into this world with the strains of the Hammond organ. My mother was in labor at a local hospital and my dad and several family members were all sitting in a little road house nearby awaiting the news of my birth (Pocono Mountain area). An organist on a Hammond entertained until the wee hours. That was in 1951 and my dad, gone now, always told that story with a certain glow.

Always the real hammondsound like the playing of Paul Rutger the Belgian. You know him?
