The bass lines you're playing sound so fluid...I didn't know which hip conked out on ya, but, it sure hasn't affected your groove.

I don't have quite that adeptness, and I sure appreciate hearing someone who does.

I was thinking quite strongly about a VK-8, an XK-1 or a C1, but, the little S910 has two SA organ sounds, Jazz Rotary, and Rock Rotary, that have that ballsy, barky B-3 tone, especially at the top end, where most clonewheels and synth organs seem to get really wimpy.

So far, it's keeping me happy (and it's only 400 lbs lighter)...and, the thing about using just one keyboard, is that you tend to push it to it's limits, and get to know every little trick and quirk that it does.

If I was in a band I'd probably go for a C1, although it would mean setting up my keyboards in an "L" configuration (not the best on a small stage) as the Nord is too big (front to back) to be stacked, and doesn't have a flat top.

If it's all you're using, it would be the cat's pajamas.

Getting back to your tune...it's a beautifully put together piece...everything just fits and flows...very nice. You're clearly not just adept on the Hammond stuff...you've got a great feel for putting arrangements together.
