Royce and Me and the B3 – #1, originally uploaded by johntynan.

I just did something that is going to shock some people… I just sold the Hammond B3 organ that my parents bought for me when we moved to Arizona in 1979 and which I have had the pleasure of playing and caring for for years. My new friend and virtuoso jazz organist Royce Murray and I struck a deal that made the both of us happy (and which should also please a good number of jazz fans in Arizona – he has quite a few gigs coming up on October alone). Good luck Royce! Wishing you many years of making the music that you love.
