Re: [Harp-L] Hammond B3 sounds and effects

[BiscuitBoy714@xxxxxxx]

I'm remembering  something from the 70's. Along about the time J Geils came 
out with the "Ladies  Invited" album it was rumored that Magic Dick was using 
Leslie speakers for that  sound he had on "Chimes" and other tunes. It seems 
like I can remember  copping the licks on Chimes with a chromatic. Does anybody 
remember that tune  and how they figured out the licks? For that matter I 
heard that Dick was  putting a marble in his mouth and getting some kind of weird 
thing going on the  harp. Sounded pretty much like bulljive to me then, and 
sounds pretty  ridiculous now. (shrug) Oh the memories of youth.
      Back then effects were pretty much a mystery  to me and I remember when 
Spirit In The Sky came out how everybody  wanted that fuzz sound. Hendrix was 
getting pretty cool stuff outta that Roto  Vibe thing he was using. 
     Anyway, these people weren't afraid to try a new  twist on an old effect 
or amp, and set the stage for experimental sounds that  goes on to this day. 
I've never been much for effects on harp but after hangin'  with youz guys I 
think it's about time I check it out. Thanx yall for opening my  eye's.
