Subject:Re: Terminology and technique

Well, I like the approach that you start your slide low on the keyboard with
the Leslie on slow speed. You slide up until your fingers hit those first
high notes of what is going to be your most awesome solo ever. You linger
on those notes for just a second, then you kick the Leslie into high gear,
and you're off! The only problem with this is all the women who have fallen
at your feet make it hard to reach the pedals at all!
