Mrgeeze yes I think that we are kindred spirits! I also love all B3 stuff. Jimmy Smith is one of my favorites and I have a lot of his vinyl as well as a his Retrospective boxed CD set.

In fact back in the mid-late 60's I was in a trio consisting of guitar, drums and a B3. Scott, our B3 player, had bass pedals thus we didn't need a bass player. Scott and I played in bands from those times until about 15 years ago. I still see him about twice a year as he lives in Florida and I live in New York State.

I'll have to check my old John Mayall Vinyl as I bet I have heard Freddy Robinson. The name does ring a bell.

PS - I'm glad those B3 days are over (Scott changed to synths around 1970). The sound was great but moving all that stuff got old, and heavier, fast!

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
