There there. Someday you can be as cool as me. And, if you work hard and eat all your oatmeal, you might even get as many posts as SATAN. Just think about it…
I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.

A cool organist? Man, I don’t know. That’s a pretty tall order.
JS Bach, Anton Bruckner, Jimmy Smith, Ray Manzarek, and Pigpen…THEY were cool organists, but that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.
If mom says you’re cool, then you’re cool.
Unless, of course, you asked her when she was fixing dinner, answering the phone, cleaning up cat puke, throwing clothes in the dryer, and you came up and started babbling “Hey, ma, I got this computer and, Mom, I’m on the Internet and mom I met this great bunch of people on a bulletin board, and Mom, I put some stuff on the board, the same board as all these really cool people, and I did it 100 times and Mom, doesn’t that mean I’m cool, too? Mom?”
And she said it just to get you out of her face.
You know I think you’re cool – you answered my questions about the Bushkoetter’s on Prairie Rose’s thread about the midwest Doper’s meeting. Thank you.
Ray Mazarek was cool? I sure like his playing, but cool? C’mon, Ray’s the nerd prince (picking up where Buddy Holly left off).
Now JS Bach was cool- no, RED HOT! 20 kids? Brother B. was gettin DOWN!

Ike! Tickle my scrote, I’m shittin’ bricks!!
Pigpen was defininely the coolest organist of all time. Followed closely by Keith Godchaux.
Of course the best organist of all was Tracy Lords…

Perhaps the best film organist was Traci Lords…
But I married the best real life one! Damn can she play that thing…up almost to the crescendo…down to a silence…up to the crescendo…well you get my drift…
hmmm…

gunpowder as it does the males to reek of musk.

When are you going to realize being normal isn’t necessarily a good thing?

Great–I’ve got a mad crush on both of them. . .

Got yer Dick’s Picks Sixteen yet? November 1969 at the Fillmore. There’s a Dark Star into The Other One into Dark Star into Uncle John’s Band into Dark Star that’ll just snap your stix!
Tom Constanten’s playing organ on this baby…an even nerdier-looking guy than Manzarek, but WHAT a musician! (Point taken, SB.)

I think Jimmy McGriff is the coolest player second being Joey Defrancesco. As far as the coolest performer, on stage, that’d be Jon Lord (no relation to Tracy) from Deep Purple. He overdrove the tiny little amp like crazy, swung the instrument around on stage, stuck knives into the keys, etc. Very cool!
It’s one thing to become physical and destructive with a puny little stratocaster, it’s a completely different thing with a 500 pound Hammond! It’s bigger than you!

From Leo Kottke’s Six and Twelve String Guitar liner notes: “The reason Bach had so many children was that his organ didn’t have any stops.”

Okay. Time out.
Everybody STOP confusing me with UncleBeer.
It doesn’t bother ME so much, but it is frustrating UncleBeer to the extent that he beats on his pillow at night until his little fists are red.
[Jeez, on a “fighting ignorance” website, you’d think everybody’d read PAST the first letter of everyone’s name.]
Uke
U’d think so, wouldn’t chu?
Here’s mud in yer eye!
Yer pal, UncleBeer.
To make it even worse, I went back and checked to be absolutely sure of the attribution before I posted, and I still got it wrong…
Ooops! Sorry, gentlemen.
