![]() Organ Freakout |
The swinginist Hammond organ album since the birth of psychedelia!
It's bad enough when some two-bit record company throws together an album soley to cash in on the latest musical trend. When the latest trend is psychedelia, the result is nothing short of ridiculous, as this unbelievable album from the late 60's aptly demonstrates. I guess the films I saw about hippies dropping acid to the tunes of the Dead and Jefferson Airplane didn't tell the whole story -- somehow I missed the part about middle-aged guys playing psychedelic Lowrey organs surrounded by chicks in mini-skirts. Peace, man. One can only hope that the kids who bought this album were suitably disappointed when dropping the needle on such tracks as "Golden Gate Freakout", "The Acid Test", or "Joshua Got Busted" only to be rewarded with sounds no hipper than what you'd find at a suburban cocktail party. This record wouldn't have any soul if you wrapped a fish with it.

See Virgil Fox's discography. He played at the Filmore East and Winterland in S. F.: http://www.virgilfoxlegacy.com/discography.html (11-19-2011)

says: BTW, Paul Griffin, the Mustang organist everyone on this forum is so quick to deride, played keyboards on prime Bob Dylan and Steely Dan sessions (in addition to many more). Before departing the A / S label(s), Griffin jammed on a Robert Lowden session for 101 Strings' SWING WITH HAMMOND ORGAN, producing the immortal "Add Strings."

Eddie Fresno (Seattle)
says: The Frug was born from a dance called the Chicken, which had a lateral body movement and was used as a change of pace during the Twist. Dancers became tired and started moving only their hips while standing still, making up arm movements. Dances that evolved from the Frug were the Swim, the Monkey, the Dog, the Watusi, the Waddle (or Wabble), and the Jerk. Other names for the Frug are the Surf, Big Bea, and Thunderbird. The Watusi is also known as the Wabble and Waddle.
