[HAM] why are tonewheels superior?

Oh.
Well, the first time I noticed a difference was seeing Joey Defrancesco in 
Chicago.
The organ sounded so oddly "perfect" that it made me stroll to the side to 
see the organ and that's when I saw it was a new B-3.  That's it really, it 
still sounded like a great Hammond.
As to "how" or "why" it caught my ear ... I dunno, it's anyones guess.  I 
wasn't really thinking about it much or caring (he was burning it up that 
night with very few people in the audience - made for a very special show).  
Then later he announced what the organ was (and took a solo while lifting up 
the organ slightly with his left hand to show the weight diff/etc.). There 
seemed to be several Ham-Suzuki reps  there at the show as well.

Could I tell again? I dunno, maybe...maybe not.  But then again it doesn't 
matter, I'll listen to any of those cats on a casio as far as I'm concerned 
;)

>Uh, yup.


Uuugh.  Well, I really want to go. I'm going to have a chat with my friend 
and see if there's any way to sub that night.  I'm playing with him Sat 
night too now so maybe it can be worked out. I hope to see you dudes there 
too, it would be some Ham-fun.
