[HAM] Van Morrison.........Healing Game

[Vintage Hammond Hire (Scotland)]

Hi Mark 

Last time I worked for Morrison was last year.  He uses a pool of musicians.

The band that was working with him last year had a US "Hammond player" and
drummer...both out of Vegas or L.A.

I can't remember there names...sorry...

Georgie Fame won't be out with Morrison.

Incidentally...BBC 2 in the UK is showing a Mose Allison documentary this
evening at 11.35pm. Georgie Fame is one of the contributors.
