I have been a huge fan of Hammond B3 with a Leslie organ since the early 70s. I was managing a band called Stormcrow and the organ player, Johnny, was a great organist. He had traveled with Phil Everly for a whld. John had a B3 and I got to play around on it and repair it. Then I was taking piano lessons at Ventura College and found a
B3 in one of the music rooms and I could go there and play it anytime there was no class going on. And it had the bass pedals, way to cool. I stumbled on a book called 101 Hammond B3 Tips.

I can barely understand the text but it comes with a link to all the audio, each tip has a short audio clip to help you see what he is talking about.
I have been listening to one of my favorite B3 players, Gregg Rolie. Carlos Santana reformed the original Santana band recently and released a disc called Santana IV since the original lineup produced the first three albums. I listen to this album at least once a day for the past year. Amazing guitar work by Carlos and Neal Schon but the organ work by Gregg is what really grabs me about this album.
