OK. The UPS tracking info says I should get a truck with my XK-3 on
it. I only had to play one gig last weekend "between" organs. I
used a Casio (yes Casio) WK3500 that I have in the drawbar mode
through SE classic/Pro 3T/Carvin XK100/JBL MPRO 415. It was
surprizingly passable! The Drawbar control is Nord-like though not
even as intuitive as the nord. Although you don't want to push
anything above 4' too much. However for $399 retail it's got a
decent wurlie and passable clav and acoustic piano sound. Poormans
Electro? Maybe not, but in a pinch I didn't need to rent any gear
and would absolutely use this thing again under the same
circumstances. Anyway...got to go wait for santa....

Provided I see UPS in the next hour or so, I'll be using one or the
other (Hammond or Casio) this Sunday at the RT 66 festival in
Downtown San Bernadino with Blue Eyed Soul Singer/Songwriter Kelly
McGuire from 1-3.

Uhh Oh I hear bells!!
