In 1972 I was the first to bring a Rhythm Ace to my B3 organ solo job. It was a posh 5 star restaurant in South Florida where I played 6 nights a week. I had it at home with my B3, so thought I would try it. It surprised a lot of people in a good way until one night this drunk came up on the stage. He disapproved of my innovation in a very loud way until he attracted the attention of "The Don", and I don't mean "The Donald". He was my boss and the owner, weighing about 350 and 6 feet 4". We called him The Don because the restaurant was a "family affair(Mafia). At any rate, he came up on the stage and unceremoniously escorted out the door, among cheers from the patrons.

Good old days
