To All The Organists On This Board

[7/4]

She's got that Henry Cowell thang goin' down. Workin' them tone clusters.

I think it's cheap that God gets credit for her ability to play the organ without hands. I mean, He's the one that didn't give her hands in the first place, right?

Just like the bastard, ain't it. This reminds me of those folks who see God's mercy as evidenced in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. What about the damn hurricane in the first place? Just a heavenly clerical error?

I really want to hear this record. Is that so wrong?

[Kalo]

At least on the organ you can play with your feet, too.

[JSngry]

Yeah, but if you're going to play with your feet, you should stick to piano, like Jerry Lee Lewis.

Did Jerry Lee ever play organ, excluding all the obvious penis jokes that might result from such a query?

[JSngry]

When you're playing keyboards with your feet, what instrument it may or may not be is irrelevant.

I was at a private party once where Don Patterson (the rest of the band was Von Freeman, Wilbur Campbell, and guitarist Sam Thomas) dipped his head down to keyboard level and played a rather minimal chorus or two with his tongue -- the clear intent being (for purposes of bawdy humor, one hopes) to simulate cunnilingus. No doubt this was a regular routine of Patterson's but probably one that was not preserved on record.

Nor on video, I imagine...

[Larry Kart]

Well, at least on video it would work.

[Soul Stream]

Yeah, but can she play pedals?

[Jim R]

Somebody actually cared enough to repair the seams with scotch tape... maybe this is funkier than we realize.

Handless and nameless

Yeah, and I love that whole Alzheimers/senility thing he came up with. Way to go, God! Thanks loads! Then there're earthquakes...not to mention the related tsunami's. Thanks for that East-Indian ocean tsunami...and right near Christmas too! Gotta love that touch.

No.

But I'd watch those tendencies in the future.
