[HAM] Chopping Hammonds

[nerf at rogers.com]

I'm only 5'6", but even I have to do the "gay wrist" thing to play the lower manual standing up. LOL.

A friend came onstage once to play my rig. He's 6'8". It looked like he was standing behind a toy piano.

I used to do the same thing. I'm 6'2" and it's hard to stand and play a
B3 for any length of time unless it's raised up. Sometimes I would just
leave the wheels down on the ROK's. Of course I wasn't using pedals.
Back then it was Rock and Roll all the way.

Even less interesting is what Dan Bonow does-- he plays the BC standing
up, 
so the organ's legs sit on 4X4s with depressions in them to hold the
legs. 
I think he's ~6' tall. He sez it hurts his back to bend over to play.
