It's Hammond B3 Organ Day

I just discovered The Ken Clark Trio and wanted to share my discovery.

Ken Clark Trio Web Site

if you click on the CD's on the right, you can listen to tracks..

Track #6. I Just Woke Up on Mutual Respect sure makes me happy. It was kinda difficult dancing while driving coming in this morning. I imagine my car was hopping down the road :-)

hope you enjoy as much as I have,
Angela

Nice "Same" lp & Artwoods = L-100
M-100s oan Affinity lp n' Floyd "Pompei" n' YES "Time & A Word". Focus "Hokus Pokus".

Ah fink, Procol's 'Whiter Shade of Pale" wor a M-111, bur nort shure.
