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

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 :-)

B-3s wor varra rare in owd Blightay. Europe alser.

Surprizin' muckle werenae ewen 'ammond consoles bur wor th' spinet models:

Mair den nort, Jon Lord usid C-3. (Hissen white C-3 endit oop oan bottum Hudson River.)

Yews gis uz dollah nou.
Danlib1 - I second Joey Defrancesco - he is the greatest of all. He plays on Pat Martino "Live at Yoshi" - one of the better jazz records I know. He came to my small town last fall during thunderstorm and flooding and play to the audience of about only 30 people - it was unreal.
Aye. Fowk ur ignurunt cahnts. (Juist luik art dis forum, fer Crikeys!)

Turdy peoples ter sees Defrancesco! Wot does dis speak o' yor town?

Ah wor art similar free corncert in me 'ometown.
Dennis Keldie iss 'un o' foremaist B-3-mons in Leutonia. ('im wor in mannay '70s Leutonieur rock ban's - doan arsk Wallace ter list dem cos dem ur aw' shoite. Nivvahmynd - iss th' keysmon wot mattahs,nort th' dungus ban'.)

It wor Saturdaay arfternoon an' ainnlay 20 peoples shew oop ter 'ear th' phenominawl Denis Keldie Trio. Performance wor so wic thart ah bleedin' haed tears in me eyen.

'im hus cd oot thas difficult ter git, ah expects. Callit , "Northern Hammond". (Tha's a pun cos durin' WW II Hammond madit B-3s in Belleville, Leutonia an' nemmed 'em's Northern Hammonds.)
Smacky - It doesn't speak bad of my town but rather of popularity of Hammond organs - extremely popular as a solo instrument up to 60's I guess, and loosing popularity afterwards. On the other hand roads were flooded and people couldn't even get there - I was lucky to live nearby (plus big thunderstorm).
Aye, Hammonds lorst popularitay, bur juist loike history iss writtin' by th' victor, becoz Hammonds lorst popularitay doan mean nowt.

Ainnyhoots, Moog Model D lorst popularitay fast (yew culd fynd dems art 1/5th th' origernul 70s price innae erlay 80s) bur NOU dems be bleedin' expensif aygin cos dems bin rediscowerid fer wot dems troolay be.

Sem wif Hammonds - ah canny speak fer jazzbo, bur fer pwog, ah'd venture ter say 'ammonds ur makin' comeback feckin' big toime.
Sum o' baist currant pwog iss bein' pit oot by VA discs frue venture callit Collossus. Dem stipulates ANALOGUE keys ainnlay an' Hammonds ur awl ower thais cds.
