Well... I confess I thought of that too but perhaps not quite in the same context.Cranberry wrote:Penis.

This is my weapon
This is my gun
This ones for killin'
This ones for fun!

Carry on.

I certainly enjoyed my visit to St. Joseph's Church, in
Luzon, where I heard this Bamboo Organ.

Me too!cowtime wrote:pipe
I had organ lessons in high school. My instructor was a young college student who lived in a house that had been built around a pipe organ One time she invited me to her house and I got to play the pipe organ for a while. The thing was like an airplane cockpit, and what a magnificent sound!!! Great acoustics too--the room it was in was half the size of a basketball court.
While I was trying out the different stops something got stuck, making a nasal whiney "ehhhhhh" sound. We ducked through a small doorway into the pipe room, which was dark and cramped, like a forest full of tree trunks. There were pipes of different colors, things with trumpet bells on the end...we finally found the stuck note, it was a "vox humana" pipe.
I stopped playing the organ after high school but it was an unforgettable experience.

A great example of this is Santana's version of Black Magic Woman.Cork wrote: If ever there could be a "classic" electric organ, indeed! To hear one, however, you'll need to go back in musical time, more than a few decades.
(If you listen to rock/pop music from late 60's/early 70's with an organ sound in it, it's most likely a hammond b-3)

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

For the record, I am old enough to have lived in the psychedelic sixties with Steppenwolf and Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly etc. I just never knew the names of organs. It's one of the failings of my youth.

This is a great clip of Ethel Smith playing "Tico Tico" on a Hammond B3 - something she made herself famous doing. The clip is from the movie "Bathing Beauty" of the 40's, with Esther Williams and Red Skelton.

My elder daughter dated a pipe organist for a while during her single days. He was in the process of getting a pipe organ put in his house.Caroluna wrote:Me too!cowtime wrote:pipe

Hmmmm, that was about the time they split.......
Playing the pipe organ is truly an amazing and humbling experience.
