Hammond Report June 2 2020 from Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Ha hah folks, you thought maybe no Hammond Report for today Tues. 2nd of June after last night, eh?! No way - just a little later in the day, because thankfully today (finally) got to see the dentist, yea'!! Today's original music and stories, my composition "Hot Stuff" all the way back in 1971 live recording with my Rock band Hades from a free concert we gave in good old Provo Park in Berkeley, California across the street from the  and  - special thanks for my friend Steve Kushman long-time President of  for helping me transfer the original audio reel-to-reel tape to preserve the recording we made that day. The oxide was starting to deteriorate and peel off the tape master, but we saved it, thanks Steve! I had a big organ rig back then, my Hammond A-103 with 2 Leslies stacked up that I bought from Boz Scaggs - we almost got signed by Warner Bros. Records but the vocals were a little weak, Peter Moreno from Warner Bros. wanted me to get a real lead singer and he was right - we practiced 5 days a week with this band and played all over Northern California and Lake Tahoe - Jerry Figone was our manager, Jim Thorsen played my Gibson Byrdland on this date, enjoy folks - better day(s) tomorrow!! -  -
