NOTHING matches the sound of a Hammond B3 and a Leslie or two. While I can't play (well, two songs, "Mr. Frog" and "Innagaddavida") I spent some of my youth managing a band and have first hand experience with how heavy that stuff is. No more fun to be had than "move out" at the end of a gig and hoisting a B3 into a van with no ramp. All for 10% of what was not big money. But hey, we were all young and stupid.
Hanging around people with talent did me no good. I still can't play any instrument, can't sing and I lose the beat 8 or 10 bars in!
I would love to see Winwood on the Hammond. The old Spencer Davis Group stuff, Traffic, etc. all have a sound that is distinctive and after few bars of "Gimmee Some Lovin" I MUST turn the volume up and attempt to keep time on the steering wheel.......
