Cheers to all my tonewheel fellows!

I fired up this blog to show some of my Hammond organ related projects, thoughts and other stuff that I have found interesting.

My daytime job has been in advertising photography industry for the last 25 years. So I'm not a professional musician, nor an engineer, but I listen organ jazz fluently and am able to recognize good sound and groove whenever I hear it. I have always had a passion to create something with my own hands too, including metalworks and carpentry, basic electronics, etc.

Combining these two passions has generated a lot of memorable moments, as one of its results has been a local organ rental business. With my B3 rig I have managed to hear and personally meet legendary bands and players like Booker T Jones, Jon Lord, Jack McDuff, Dr Lonnie Smith and many more.
