Hi Janice and Bud,

Of course, our deepest bows for your kind remarks. Actually, there were two B3 players at work here. Jamie Rhind soloed - and did he ever bang that one across - and I comped and played left-hand bass. That is what I really love to do, because the bass is the last frontier of jazz organ. The equivalent of, say, a Jaco has yet to appear on the instrument. There is only one player in the world that actually does the pedals, comps chords with the left hand and solos with the right: The German B3 player Barbara Dennerlein. You can see close-ups of her high heels dancing all over the pedals on YouTube. So it took two guys to do what Barbara alone could do. But it worked.

As always, thank you for your warm wishes. I have no plans to make that my last guitar lick. It's just the last one for now.

Dean
