Trail of the Organ

[michelej1]

This is old stuff, but I didn't see it around. It's about Jon Lord buying Christine's Hammond.

This is an interview from Modern Keyboard, January 1989

Do you still have that Hammond?

No, it died in 1973. Then I bought the one I have now from Christine McVie. In the early seventies we were touring constantly, and Fleetwood Mac played with us constantly, and Fleetwood Mac played with us many times. They did about four tours with us. Christine needed money and, at the end of one tour, she decided to sell it. It had two Leslies, it was in perfect condition, and it was about 16 years old then. I can’t remember exactly what I paid her for it. I know it wasn’t much, probably about $15,000. of course, they were still being made in those days. I’ve had that one ever since.
