 My dad said that he saw Jimmy play and that he really didn't even play much of anything on the pedals?

well i know... and that's what i meant.  But if you're going to be playing jazz... Jimmy Smith or whatever, you probably do need pedals.  I don't think Keith Emerson or any of those guys used pedals anyway...
and i wasn't addressing the single vs. double manual issue at all... just the pedals.

LOL, hold on, now - there's a lot of middle ground here. I was in a band, way back in the proverbial 'day', that did many ELP and other prog covers that I managed just fine on a B that I chopped to a single manual, no pedals.
Not that there's anything wrong with the Eagles, of course. But there's a bigger picture here. ;-)

If you really want to learn to play organ you should go with pedals too...
If you're just going to be adding some simple chords to old Eagles songs or something like that, it would be a different story. Just my thought...
