Went to a Jimmy Smith gig at one of the venues in Leicester Sq many years ago. He was superb. "The Cat" has to be one of my all times fave tunes.

Jimmy was pretty much the God on hammond. Sadly I never got to see him live. Without his foresight you could safely say that the likes of Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Dave Greenfield, Booker T, Ray Charles, Steve Winwood, Graham Bond, Georgie Fame and numerous jazz great players like Brother Jack McDuff, Big John Patton, Jimmy McGriff, Shirley Scott, Freddie Roach, Baby Face Willette.... would never have achieved their status as Hammond demons because he was the innovator who paved the way for the Hammond organ (namely the C3/B3) to be a leading instrument in modern music. Before him no sod had harnessed it's extremely funky and soulful potential in such a startling way and boy did Jimmy know it. The Jimi Hendrix of the keyboard world if ever there was one. Amazingly, Hammond never endorsed him even to the day he died and0 he practically made that company what it is today.

He died last year at the age of 79, which I'm pretty ashamed to say I only discovered last week in an old copy of Record Collector!

RIP Jimmy.

I am female and my name, funnily enough, is Hannah Greenwell, actually, my full name is Hannah Greenwell Rosen but everyone calls me either Hannah H a w rtie Greenwell of Hannah H a w r tie Rosen and that is the story of my name, although I am considering changing it to Haw-rtHanInBlack cos it is unique but then again, I don't like to stand out from the crowd.

Im a bloke (well last time I looked I was)
Arthur Streeb-Greebling is a character of Peter Cook's. Peter Cook is a comedy hero of mine so I chose his name for this forum, I also like 'Teaching Ravens To Fly Underwater' quote due to it's Stranglers connection although Im sure The Stranglers have never taught Ravens to fly underwater nonetheless there is that Raven connection there.

Hannah Stapled-Lips now calls me Arthur Fanny-Grabber or something like that which is far better!

Started off on here as MattBlack but doninblack suggested my moniker should be 'Toiler On The Sea'

cause of where I work.

This raises howls of laughter from my workmates out here, as my job is not the most arduous or strenuous.

Layabout On The Sea doesn't have the same cache does it.
