Hammond Report October 15 2020 From Pandemic Quarantino
Jon Hammond
- Daily Music and Stories from the organist & accordionist Jon Hammond, today's story about playing a morning session in Messe Frankfurt on Center Stage to
kick off the
Musikmesse
trade show with my band plus special guest
Lee Oskar
harmonica.
Joe Berger
, Lee and I were the early birds - then
Giovanni Totò Gulino
and
Peter Klohmann
found the bandstand after we had played a late night the night before at jazzkeller. I always say, 'Early bird gets the worm...2nd mouse gets the cheese!' no
pain no strain, lots of fun!
Wolfgang Lücke
was the director then, and we had a lot of fun with the official announcer
Mavros
. Our good friend
Andreas Meer
was still with us then and shot some beautiful photos - stay safe out there in the pandemic folks, keep masking up and be sure to vote if you're in USA! Better
times ahead! I'll be back tomorrow with another Hammond Report,
Jon Hammond
