Hi fine people. I was  wondering if anybody could answer a question for
me 
and if anyone has some  advice concerning affordable studio mics.
Firstly, who 
played harp on Cream's  Train Time? I heard it on the way home from
Kentucky 
Monday night and my Momma  said she could remember me practicing to it
back in 
72 when I was 15. I never  really learned all of it then but I sure
picked up a 
lot licks there. Also, have  any of yall had any experience with the
lower 
priced studio condenser mics  available these days? I'm gonna use an SM
58 with 
amp modulations for the gritty  blues/rock sound I'm looking for on
those 
songs but I really need a condenser  for my vocals and for playing the
really 
clean stuff with cupping techniques and  the like for the acoustic
songs I'm gonna 
do on my 9 string, one in particular.  If I had my way I'd just get a
Neuman 
tube mic with the changeable mic caps and  patterns but I can't afford
that. I 
have 48 volt phantom power on both of the  digital recorders that I was
given 
for my project so that's not a concern.  Should I go for a ribbon mic?
What 
pattern is best on a budget? Any advice  appreciated. I'll need a few
other 
things later but this is my biggest hurdle  right now. Here's a few
things on my 
needs list though.
                                     Hammond B 3 with Leslie
                                     Parker Night Fly guitar
                                     Selmer tenor sax (with teeth to
play it 
with)
                                     Yamaha CP 70 electric baby grand
                                     Elka string machine
                                    Clavanet  (with somebody to channel
Billy 
Preston into my body for me)
                                     Roland digital drum set (with
extra 
cymbals and tom toms)
                                     Real guitar player for the Night
Fly
                                     Voice transplant
                                     Alembic bass
                                     Big 'ole bag 'O' custom tweeked 
diatonics (all keys)

The first answer is "Train Time was played and sung by none other than
Jack Bruce. Bruce, at the time of Cream was an established musican
playing in various blues bands such as Mayall and Graham Bond. He is
better known for his bass playing than his harp playing.
To the best of my knowledge both Hammond and the Leslie are out of
business. The Leslie Town Cabinets, you can find on Ebay but hav e fun
with the shipping costs.
To the best of my knowledge, there are many portable electronic
keyboards around that can replicate that sound But I am not a keyboard
player
PS i love jazz organ and still groove to Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack
McDuff, Richard "Grove" Holmes and Big John Patton - all deceased.
Good luck in your search.
James
