In fact, in some of the sections of the video, Monaco is playing the exact B3 I have in the music shop. I have pictures and a CD of him playing it that came with the organ when I bought it. He has an interesting background. As a young kid, around the age of 11, he was learning to play an accordion but contracted some form of a neurological disease. He totally lost control of the muscles that control finger movements. He had to relearn, by shear will power, the ability to control movement of his hands and fingers. Even today if you watch closely the way he forms chords on the organ keyboard and attacks the keys is a bit different from what you would normally expect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xVU_BLow5M Eisboch |

My dad was an advanced amateur organist, and we always had a Hammond, Wurlitzer or Gulbransen in the living room. The last organ was another Hammond, with a Leslie speaker that my dad "stashed" in a corner of the adjacent dining room, much to the annoyance of my mother. He did his own repairs, too, with boxes of tubes, harmonic drawbars, et cetera, in the basement. Great hobby for him, especially in the dead of winter, when the boat biz in New Haven was as moribund as creative thought coming from the GOP. :) Funny thing...he couldn't read a note of music. He'd buy those "Fake Books" from Goldie's Music Store in downtown New Haven, and each would have literally thousands of scores in them. My dad bought the books for the song titles. He'd play "by ear," and once he heard a song, it was "his" forever. He knew most of the songs in the books...the titles just jolted the melodies in his mind. I think I told you once he got opportunities to sit in during shows of the local theater organ society, held at the Whalley Theater. I wonder if the Whalley still exists, and whether it still has its Mighty Wurlitzer? Do you remember the Whalley? It was the big first-run theater in New Haven. Large to me then, but by today's standards, not so large, I bet. We had another great theater in New Haven, the Loew's Poli. It was downtown. Very fancy. Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney performed there. The Poli family had a large mansion on Forest Road in New Haven, and a huge multi-house enclave out at Woodmont. The house they lived in in the summer was a convent or religious retreat the last time I saw it. -- The modern GOP is little more than an army of moral absolutists led by a gang of moral nihilists. |

Unlike everyone in your family, my dad was quite accomplished in a number of areas, including music and painting. What has anyone in your lineage every accomplished, other than being tertiary characters out of Grapes of Wrath? -- The modern GOP is little more than an army of moral absolutists led by a gang of moral nihilists.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Pfftttt. .. My mom was a professional vocalist and sang for pay all over the country and outside too. She was a genius artist and did everything from murals to decorating the 6th floor four times a year at G.Fox and Co for almost a decade. We made all the decorations right here in the house, some displays took months to build. She studied at the Hartt school of Music, and did off Broadway plays, as well as professional theatre around the country. Oh, and she spent almost a decade as Stage Manager to the Hartford Stage Company. She played several instruments and "really" played the organ till the very day she died.. The list goes on, she was a professional artist, and not a made up one like your dad... Nice try though, you sure are funny when you make things up... LOL... You wouldn't know art if it bit you in your fat dirty ass. |

His name isn't Jimmy Smith, agreed. *But his style, interpretation and technique is certainly spot on, an opinion shared by most contemporary jazz musicians. * In that "Tribute" he didn't really get carried away because he was doing the song exactly as Smith did. * I've seen and heard others, including some classic blues that knock your socks off. * *I just have a particular fascination with the sound of a tweaked Hammond B3/Leslie combination. * *Another unbelievable B3 artist was Billy Preston. *He could make his very modified B3 sing. Gives me goosebumps. Eisboch Well, I was "exposed" to that sort of organ playing (but not that level) at a very young age. *My dad was an advanced amateur organist, and we always had a Hammond, Wurlitzer or Gulbransen in the living room. The last organ was another Hammond, with a Leslie speaker that my dad "stashed" in a corner of the adjacent dining room, much to the annoyance of my mother. He did his own repairs, too, with boxes of tubes, harmonic drawbars, et cetera, in the basement. Great hobby for him, especially in the dead of winter, when the boat biz in New Haven was as moribund as creative thought coming from the GOP. * :) Funny thing...he couldn't read a note of music. He'd buy those "Fake Books" from Goldie's Music Store in downtown New Haven, and each would have literally thousands of scores in them. My dad bought the books for the song titles. He'd play "by ear," and once he heard a song, it was "his" forever. He knew most of the songs in the books...the titles just jolted the melodies in his mind. I think I told you once he got opportunities to sit in during shows of the local theater organ society, held at the Whalley Theater. I wonder if the Whalley still exists, and whether it still has its Mighty Wurlitzer? Do you remember the Whalley? It was the big first-run theater in New Haven. Large to me then, but by today's standards, not so large, I bet. We had another great theater in New Haven, the Loew's Poli. It was downtown. Very fancy. Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney performed there. The Poli family had a large mansion on Forest Road in New Haven, and a huge multi-house enclave out at Woodmont. The house they lived in in the summer was a convent or religious retreat the last time I saw it. There you go with your dad again.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I wonder if his dad got a "fireboat welcome" in NYC when he went there to play his organ with the NY Philharmonic...... |
