Pretty much anything by Deep Purple.

Going to take it up the pub tomorrow and put it through its paces. Reckon the panties'll be dropping quicker than I can twiddle the reverb button

Think I'll bang out a few James Taylor numbers. That's the James Taylor Quartet, not that awful peddler of hippy, folky dirge.

Anyone else think of a few numbers I can learn that have a Hammond flavour?

Sounds good, but I associate Hammond organs with quavery theatre tones.

Can it also simulate a decent church or cathedral organ sound, like a Willis or a Cavaillé-Coll (the finest sounding organs ever built IMHO, and the perfect antithesis to those wheezy old baroque organs) ?

I bought a Yamaha Clavinova CLP130 for the kids to learn on ... none of them ever really did so it's sat in my office gathering dust

Shame as it makes a nice tune

As Captain Morgan would say...

C'mon me hearties, we'll plunder that passing treasure ship in a jiffy; but first, a little tune on me trusty Hammond Organ.... Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl...

I am about to make a similar mistake

I will get one off of eBay though.
