Speaking of which, I happened to catch a minute of Tracy Chapman on "Good Morning America" this morning, with a band featuring a B-3 and what looked like a 145 (couldn't really see it). The organ came through nice and clear in the mix, providing background texture for her folksy tune. This could easily have been accomplished with a clone, but that beautiful piece of furniture made a statement about authenticity, and of course it sounded great. A nice smile for a Monday morning!
