[BC] Organs (was Re: Curious edits)

[Mark W Earle]

Some of the most -fun pipe organs ever, were in a California Pizza chain
called "Pizza and Pipes". That would have been circa 1980, San Francisco
area. The organ was built in to one end of the building behind glass or
in the open so you could see and hear it. Very nice. 

A seller on EBAY also is making key chains, etc. out of Hammond B1 pieces
- a nice inexpensive gift for your favorite organ affectiondo.

For the FAQ on Hammond. This is the organ with the "Leslie" made famous
by a few contemporary artists, including Chicago, REO Speedwagon, and
many others. I've seen one being unpacked from an Anvil custom road case
(which takes 3 big guys to move it!). Pretty amazing.
