We had a magnificent blat last Saturday, including some organ/cello duets. Wonderful fun!

I’m say’in it! Wisconsin Grandma would sure like a few weeks on that houseboat and a few hours a day on the electric organ. Good for you!!!!!

Yes, well, I didn’t even mention the beatbox now did I? Yes, it’s got one, and about the only thing it seems to be good for it pushing said bossa-nova up to maximum tempo and watching the pulsating temples of the audience…

I don’t think the labels are quite as glorious on ours, but there are some doozies. When it arrives I’ll make a full report, don’t you worry.

Yum. The description sounds much like the early eighties Hammond my brother picked up for not very much a few years back. The colourful flashing exuberance of the user interface is enhanced by the glorious terminology for the various features: there are switches and sliders labelled “Fascinating Fingers II”, “Note-a-chord”, and “Sound-a-rama” — all, of course, in swooping seventies-style wavy text.

(I am now contemplating the mental image of Count Dracula on the houseboat in a thunderstorm, cackling evilly while busting out a cheery synth bossa-nova with the Sound-a-Rama slider cranked up to the maximum…)

Wow! That will even enhance the special atmosphere on your boat (I’m thinking of a thunderstorm, the boat rocking and eerie organ music).
