[HAM] Auger chop

[goffmac747 at aol.com]

 yes I know the video was horrible but the licks came through. I've seen other vids with the sparkle B you mention. Still whether he uses the chop look or the cut down B he seems to have the same sound. I know he uses a mixer to his left and in the "beer chop" you can see him tweaking something. In this sparkle B vid the mixer is clear and this is a much better vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I1TSBRbYGE&mode=related&search=

Jeez, that's poor quality video.   Obviously, he has more than one organ. 
That one looks like a Bill Beer chop.  The one he had last week on tour in 
Canada was more like a stock looking B-3, still painted silver sparkle. 
The chopped one looks like th organ on his instructional DVD "Insights of 
the Keyboard Master".  I'll have to take a closer look.

Thanks!

Re: the Leslies, yes that's what he said to me for studiio gigs.   I have 
some really old stuff of his, and he's heard with a Leslie on a couple of 
cuts.
