Special thanks to Suzuki Musical Instruments Team - Waichiro 'Tachi' Tachikawa, Mr. M. Terada, Shuji Suzuki, Shigeyuki Ohtaka, Yu Beniya, Hammond Suzuki USA Dennis Capiga, Scott May, Jay Valle, NAMM President Joe Lamond Jon's flight case Gator GKPE-49-TSA http://www.namm.org/library/oral-history/jon-hammond Jon Hammond has successfully created a career based on his musical talents and his passion for the music industry! As a musician Jon has performed with many legendary players and as a clinician and product artist he has introduced many innovative products to music stores and their customers over the last 30 plus years. Jon is closely identified with the two main products of his career, the Excelsior Accordion and the Digital B3 Organ. This film of the showing of the NAMM Memorial of industry leaders lost, thoughtfully put together by NAMM Historian Dan Del Fiorentino and NAMM Archivist Tony Arambarri, everybody stops in their tracks and reflects on the lives of these lost members of the NAMM community. I knew a few of them personally, Ed Roman, Mrs. Suzuki wife of Manji Suzuki founders of Suzuki Musical Instruments who make the instruments I play today. The music of the fine bag pipe and drum troup and string players at the end set the tone, thanks for watching folks, sincerely, Jon Hammond http://www.HammondCast.com http://vimeo.com/36503892
