Scott man,

You should (don't you hate when people start sentences like that?) see about
doing something on that order over at Hammondbeat.com!  There's a bunch of
afficionados over there and they support ALL kinds of Hammond music.  I
think they're based in Wash near Portland.  

Probably wouldn't be a LIVE thing but you've got the technology to put
together (let's say) an hour show of some reeee-dikkalus stuff, known and
unknown on some sort of periodic basis.  Your skills as a librarian and your
knowledge and depth of both the musicology and music theory are proven and
(I think) indisputable and your opinions are sound (even if they're NOT
indisputable - whose aren't?! winky-winky).  Not to mention being erudite
and phunny!  Plus you're a real effing character.

And - you've met most of these guys and know/knew a bunch of them.  You'd be
sort of a Hammond-specific Phil Schapp - except you'd be engaging.

I, for one, would loooove to hear that.  I almost sent this to you
privately, but...I didn't.

Instigatingly,
John
