    "I've been in love with the Hammond organ since I was 15. I've owned a couple of B-3's and an A100 but you really don't want to carry them around. And since I think that modern keyboards basically are ugly, especially compared to a beautiful Telecaster, I'm nowadays proud to bring my SK2 to gigs. It feels like it's got a soul, unlike other basic keyboards you see in rigs these days"
