?"Nobody" is another great B3 song.

Interesting! Actually 3 Dog Night /Jimmy Greenspoon were probably one of my biggest influences. I love his playing on those songs plus "Chest Fever" is great and "Easy To Be Hard" has awesome, dynamic Hammond playing. I saw them at Hec Ed pavilion in Seattle when "One" was the big hit. They opened for Steppenwolf and I thought were a much tighter band. I think Steppenwolf was a bit drugged out although certain members of 3DN had these issues later!!!! Goldie McJohn lives up here in the Seattle area. He survived all that and plays locally. Nice guy. Thanks David for sharing.
