Subject:Yes let's hear more member recordings!!
Norm,
I agree 100%.. I enjoy all this tech talk, but I also would love to hear more music from our various members, and along with this perhaps some info regarding what equipment they were playing.
For those interested, my C2/Ventilator combination can be heard on my youtube channel (although you have to forgive the crappy recording, and they're not particularly great performances, it's the only recordings of my 11STEPS band that we have at this time):

My original CD can be heard on our myspace below. For the most part this is all my real hammond/leslie but I did use a really grungie VB3 patch for the solo in our latin style tune "Picking Hopes".
I also have a couple recordings of my band performing Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf. This was a previous incarnation of my 11STEPS band and we were Rockit Science (different singer, different drummer). This was recorded live off the floor in a studio in one take, and it was part of a promo CD. In this recording, I'm using my digital Korg BX3 and speakeasy preamp through a real 147 leslie, it can be heard at speakeasy vintage music:

(thanks to speakeasy for posting/hosting this tune on their virtual jukebox)
Again, all my original stuff can be heard at the various sites listed below.. it's retro/vintage classic rock!!
I would encourage others to post their stuff too!!!
Regards,
Craig MacDonald
