Ok If we are gonna get "Hammond Serious" for me as a teen 1968 this rock group were my idols ...Mark Stein made the B3 do things I had never heard before....when I heard the B3 Intros on these Four songs I was hooked..

AWSOP..eh...IMO.

Keep in mind the link below is a LIVE band that allowed a Hammond to be on an equal basis as the Gtr.Bass. and drums and not just a soundbed. DP changed how rock sounded and influenced many great acts.

Jon Lord always great no doubt......

Yeah, I used to play the EXACTLY as the original recording in my band playing days. Unfortunately, I have forgotten everything but the intro part. You know the old saying when someone says "He has forgotten more than I will ever know"? Well, now I have forgotten more than I will ever know at this stage of my life....

So much of this playing music stuff is tied to memory, and it's downright discouraging that my mind doesn't seem interested in retaining new things unless I beat it into it. Old dogs/new tricks problem, I guess.

I love Focus. The album "In And Out Of Focus" that these tracks were released on was very memorable. Every track was a gem.

Now we are getting into Prog Rock territory that featured some highly talented keyboard players like Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson.
Don't get me started.
