Hammond Report July 14 2020 From Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Music and Stories from organist accordionist Jon Hammond, today this story & music will blow your mind - with actual bandstand recording I made on this very special house band gig I played in 1978 when I was the Hammond B3 organist for the late great Lou Colombo, we were the house band at the Wychmere Harbor Club in Cape Cod - private club, now it's called - we played all the private parties for long-time Speaker of The House, Tip was a member of the club and lived nearby. I played his Daughter Susan O'Neill's wedding, we had Secret Service all over the place - Tip always arrived with his Wife and entourage, some of the Kennedy Clan and his main man always by his side was in a wheelchair, I never found out the man's name (maybe someone out there knows?) - very clean B3 + Leslie I played there nightly - another long-time member of Wychmere Harbor Club I played for very often was Lee Berk founder of , Lee was always real nice to the band, as was Tip! Enjoy this precious audio recording and story folks - very sadly / tragically Lou Colombo was killed just a few days after I went to visit him in Fort Myers FL as he was driving home from his gig at his Daughter's restaurant The Roadhouse - by a 17 year-old driver in a Jeep Wrangler - keep the Spirit folks, and be super careful and safe out there - remember to mask-up during this pandemic, told ya' so!

I'll be back with another Hammond Report tomorrow, Jon Hammond 14th of July 2020 from Pandemic Quarantino
