I saw Edgar do that in fact back when his hit Frank-un-shteen was all
over the air. That was the only song he did that on I think. Everything
else was White Trash sans Jerry La Croix...... Perhaps he was one of
the first to remote a controller...

John Lord rocking his Hammond comes to mind......
And how about Derek Sherinian with his keys tilted towards the
audience ?
Lastly, Edgar Winters "wearing" his 2600. 'Nuff siad ;)

Sad to say being behind a large instrument is akin to being in a wheel
chair. No offense to any physically challenged forumites.
Audiences like to see the whole enchilada...is there a pun in there
somewhere...? or is this where someone yells. "put a sock in it!" More
puns??
But don't let the need to be a showman behind an organ get you down. I
once saw a B3 player pick up his B and tilt it on it's side and played
the thing like an accordion!!!!!
Oxnard California, in the '70's. If anyone knows who this artist
is/was. He was a big African American and I thought I had seen it all
after watching this highly energetic musician pick up that beast...
Now where was MTV while that was going on?
It's all about the bling....

, and the current crop of musicians are so
video-driven, it's no wonder that Hammonds, even tho all over the place
sonically, are unknown to the non-keyboard player. How many times have
you
watched pro videos where most of the key elements of the music are
ignored
(especially the keys), and the video frenetically jumps to the most
obvious
visual motion, ignoring the actual performance?
