Organ Morgan

Why do so many garage bands feature a Hammond organ (or similar, pedantry fans...)? Surely it would have been a prohibatively expensive and cumbersome instrument for 60s teenagers with cheapo Danelectro guitars made out of plastic?

using hammond-fan sites is probably a guarantee of partisan unreliability -- i will have to go back and look at all my notes i think, before i talk more nonsense

i half remember that one of the famous ones came into a top half and a bottom half for ease of portability

and the leslie speakers spin round to give the warble

and if you stick knives in a hammond you are keith emerson
