Subject:Re: Favourite rock organists (collated!)

Hi all,

I found so many new names (and forgotten old favourites) to follow up in
this thread that I collated them all into one file to take music shopping.
Thought it might be useful to someone else.

I've just put together everyone who was named, in no particular order. If
I've left anyone out, it's sloppy cut'n'pasting, not censorship!

Cheers,

David
