thebassguy's LINK to the Beatles:
I have recently
learned that the Hammond organ I played on my song
"More
Blues Than I Can Use"
was often used by John Lennon when he recorded
at The Record Plant,
here in NYC. How's that for a million degrees of
separation?
By the way, if
anyone
knows how much Beatles autographs go for let me
know!
