I drove an M102 for many years and for you folks who haven't had that experience, then you need to get your hands on a real Hammond at least once before you die. Take heed of your Uncle Ian and Uncle Dave.

Well, it seems Green Onions is a love it or hate it item judging by some of the reactions on here. Put me in the 'love it' camp. I'll still play it at the drop of a hat.

I'm sorry that it attaches memories of a troubled time for chas. For me, it attaches memories of a wonderful youth and, as chas says, that's life. For what it's worth, one of my cherished memories is that of a night playing at a USAF base and getting a standing O from a largely black crowd for my rendition of Green Onions. I guess they were feeling the groove as much as I was - and feeling the groove is what it's all about on that tune.
