John Paul Jones used both B3s and C3s, I think. I’m sure one of these is a B3.

Wish I could play those things, but I guess I'll stick to guitar for now.

Am I late to this party? I’m late to this party.

CHARLIE WOOD OR GET OUT. Solo starts at 1:58, but you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t listen to the whole track...or the whole album.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Wood, naturally, is the organist...and the singer...and the lyricist/composer...AND THE BASSIST. His band needs no bass player, because he’s working those pedals while he plays and sings simultaneously. He spent a few days visiting the music department at NMSU, and gave two concert/AMAs. A real genuine, kind fellow. And probably one of the cleverest lyricists and organ soloists you’ll ever hear.
