Love this 21 Lounge program each week. As a kid in the early 70s we had a used Hammond B and took lesson's from a guy who played the organ at Elizabeth, NJ restaurant (the dinner show). We learned songs from the fake books. This brings back great memories. thank you!
Of course. Because "the most important pianist of the 20th century", is the one who just gave him money to write copy.

I don't think he did those things, but he may have accompanied a singer, etc. He had the "good sound" and always built in a transition to another song at the end of each song. Then he moved to Florida and we lost track, sadly. Probably better lounges there
