We used to have a drummer nick-named Phil Allgaps who couldn't understand
that silence was mightier than a drumchop, his technique was really awesome
but he really got up the lead guitarist's nose. It got to the stage that we
were all waiting for the chance of a 'fill' so we all dived in at every
opportunity....terrible sound!
Then we grew up....we were all about 40 by then, thinner on top, thicker
round the middle but the music was a lot more solid too.
Long live the HZ
Rod.

Subject: [hammond_zone] Old Farts with style?
Style....now there's an elusive goal! For
sure the use of the expression pedal is a
great start and a big part of the unique
Hammond sound. But in general, I'd just try
to leave some holes. ( of course the hot dog
guitarist will probably fill 'em up! ) Like when
we talk, we need to take a breath right?
How much do you enjoy talking with
someone who never seems to take a breath
or let you get a word in edgewise?...not much
fun in music OR conversation. Just my $.02
I'm sure you're coming along just fine and
we're so glad and fortunate to have young
folks like yourself carrying on the tradition of
these great ol' music makers. Us old hippie
farts won't be able to carry these things forever.
Would ya' stop and give us a hand if you see
us struggling on a flight of stairs? Thanks!
Can't wait to hear your first CD! Have you
recorded much yet? Love to hear anything you
have!
Keep it spinnin',
Jimmy
