You're talking of course about Hammond Organ Plus!,

Do there exist other Hammond stations?

Thijs Van Leer... oh my God... especially in tandem with world's
greatest prog guitarist, Jan Akkerman... well, those were the days!

Re: prog - what about Frumpy?!!!! This was a really great Hammond-
centric prog band from 70-s Germany. Worth checking out.

"Inga Rumpf's Frumpy was among the most startling bands on the
entire German rock scene of the early '70s, an act so diametrically
opposed to the Krautrock boom beloved by critics elsewhere that first
impressions of their music always leave listeners scratching their
heads." (All Music Guide)
