Hammond Report February 12 2021 From Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Daily Music and Stories from the organist & accordionist Jon Hammond, today's music story I'm playing the new Sk PRO Hammond organ and recounting story correlating to the name of a group I was in "Easy Livin' " when I get to the tune of same name - coming back from 2 weeks playing at the famous Inn on the Park Four Four Seasons Hotel I got stranded at the Canada USA Niagra Falls border crossing when the bandleader's van and mine got seperated - he had the paperwork for my Hammond Organ. They kept me there for 12 hours, all my sheet music blew away in the wind when the guy opened up my suitcase full of music. Finally the next man in charge told me to get in my van and get the hell outa' there - was along time before I went back to Toronto after that! Enjoying playing the new instrument from
