B3 Madness

        About 3 years ago I purchased a Hammond B3, which is the king of blues and rock organs, for those of you who are not familiar.  Shortly after, I bought a Leslie speaker to go along with it and together they monopolized the space in my parents sun room.  I don't even know how to play the piano, but i always had this dream that someday I would find somebody who could to play in a band with me.  Sure enough I found a band, but that beast is to heavy to gig with.  Since we have been turning our attic into a jam space, I had this wonderful idea that we would bring the organ over and finally get some use out of it.  Seeing that the only person that I know with a truck is Taylor he was going to have to be part of it.  As soon as he found out what he was getting into he left his keys in the truck for me and got the heck out of dodge.  Jeremy didn't realize what he was agreeing to, so he was on board.  The only other person I could manipulate was Twon, so we only had three people; which was a death wish.  Getting it out of my house and into the truck went great, only took us 10 minutes; so i thought maybe this won't be so bad after all.  As soon as we got to my house, we were pulling the organ out of the truck and Twon slipped on the ice and the organ came crashing down.  So now were in the house and we still have to go up two flights of stairs to the attic.  Before we even moved the organ up one step we got the thing stuck with two people wedged up against the wall.  We were trying to avoid rolling the organ up the stairs since there are so many moving parts inside, but that was looking like it was our only option.  After about 45 minutes of wrestling the organ we finally made it up to the attic, and luckily it was already banged up so the nicks and dings we put in it didn't really matter.  I don't know how that thing still works if you could of heard the noises it was making when we rolled it up the stairs.  Believe it or not it actually sounded better after moving it.  I don't know how I'm ever going to get it out of the attic, but at least it's there.  So if your ever making a studio or jam space, make it on the first floor
