Jon Hammond at the Organ and Microphone
*LISTEN TO AUDIO HERE: Jon's Journal SF County Jail Show HammondCast http://archive.org/details/HammondCast_17 Downloaded 3,749 times HammondCast 17, just back from Hamburg Germany where I recorded my new album, an
official production of NDR Radio in Studio 1 with some of my all-time favorite musicians: Lutz Buchner (Sax), Joe Gallardo (Trombone), Heinz Lichius (Drums), myself-Jon Hammond (XK-3 Organ/Bass) and
Engineer: Rudy Grosser in Studio 1 NDR Radio. I'll be playing some selections rough mixes (not so rough actually!) as my Christmas gift to the listeners, and speaking of Christmas...from inside San
Francisco County Jail #8 "Pod E", a live recording of my trio's annual Christmas Prison Show with the great tenor saxophonist Larry Schneider & Ronnie Smith Jr. on drums along with myself on keys
playing the Christmas classic: "Have Yourself a Merry Christmas". Every year I tell the ladies "And ya' better be good!" And from the Studio 1 NDR Sessions my original blues shuffle: No X-Cess
Baggage Blues, some fine playing by Lutz on one of my favorite ballads: My One and Only Love and my theme song: "Late Rent". Special thanks to Knut Benzner of NDR Radio for co-producing these
recordings now heard on KYOU Radio, 1550 on the AM Dial. Jon Hammond http://www.HammondCast.com "The FINGERS...Are The SINGERS!"...and the wind is blowing

Folks, I will be the #1 voter today at my
polling place - got here 5AM, early shot so you know I am not messing around. In less than 45 minutes I'm going to be pulling the lever for President Obama and everybody in my building is also - I
don't know one person who is voting for the other guy. NYPD is on the scene to make sure there won't be any hanky panky..this is the big day people! - Jon Hammond 
#1 Voter at my polling place - photographic proof - Jon Hammond *Note: The scanning machine
is scanning my paper ballot at 6:13AM. It is a little bit tricky, supervisor said mine was A-OK and of course I voted for President Obama and V.P. Joe Biden, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY),
Democratic early bird voter here in New York City - JH — at Times Square 
Get on down to your polling place and vote my fellow
Americans! *Note: There is a tricky thing on the ballot - it says "Vote for any four" in one group of four. I had the supervisor come in and sure enough he told me that it is really "Vote for ONE of
four" - he told me if I voted for all 4 it would invalidate my ballot. Take care to do it correctly folks. Jon Hammond — at Times Square
