Yeah, me too... and I am the supreme victim of H.A.S...

My girlfriend tells me "No more B3's or Leslies"...
"But baby, four B3's and six leslies, those are EVEN numbers! I need to
buy another to stabilize on an ODD number. For odd numbers are much more
interesting, compositionally speaking..."
She say's "Well sell one!",
I answer, "This is why I am NOT married"....

If you go over to the Hammond boards, they all know about HAS (Hammond
Acquisition Syndrome). But while younger buyers "Sell old, buy new",
these guys keep all of theirs foverer in a garage filled with BVs,
M100s, Leslies of all shape and ilk, etc. And they are too forever
hunting estate sale ads, Salvation Army, church alleyways, etc., for the
Holy Grail (One owner B3 inherited by some poor schmuck who hasn't a
clue and is now saying "Gimme $50 and take this old organ thing away.").

By the way, I don't just write about these clubs, I'm also a member.
