I enjoy all visits to shows where Tony demos for Hammond; I've seen him many times. I've seen Jimmy Smith a good number of times, too.
Tony is no Jimmy. But, he's a really nice guy (a lot nicer than Jimmy) and is the current "standard bearer", so ya gotta like that!

I agree Russ....being a "Nice Guy" in this business is just as important as being a great player....without the audience your ain't nothin' they'll make ya or break ya
