HEY, YOU: KYOU Radio (legally KYCY at 1550 AM), with its mix of podcasts and financial advice shows, may not have many listeners (the Oakland A's broadcasts will help), but it's got its believers -- especially radio pros and musicians getting a chance at a regular show. One of them is Jon Hammond, on most weekdays at 3 p.m. "The old-time spirit lives on AM again," says Hammond, an organist
Jon's old amp fired up in social isolation - my '65 Fender Twin, it used to be John Mcfee & his brother Bob Mcfee's twin when they were in Flying Circus - Muir Beach CA and then Clover before I got it - sometimes I have to slap it to get the tube rumble to settle down! -

Audio recorder: Nakamichi 550 dual-tracer cassette field recorder, 2 channels + Blend Channel. 3 Sennheiser microphones. Session recorded in The Ellington Room New York City. Jon uses his Nakamichi HD 25-1 Headphones also in photo:
For my friends in the Nakamichi Audiophile Group: I used good old Maxell Type II cassette tapes for this live recording date I personally recorded on my Nakamichi 550, which I am the original owner purchaser of - I plunked down $550 cash for my Nak at Harvey Electronics on W. 45th Street NYC in 1976 - I made this recording with 3 Sennheiser microphones placed around the bandstand in the Ellington Room - the tune "No X-Cess Baggage Blues" I wrote for my friends at PIA Pakistan International Airlines - they very kindly let me take excess baggage on numerous flights I made with them out of John F. Kennedy International Airport - when you play Hammond Organ, it's impossible to travel light. I go way back with all of these fine musicians - that's Chuggy Carter on the percussion - Ray Grappone drums - Joe Berger aka Joe Berger2 in the string section on his custom built JJ Guitars - tenor saxophonist Todd Anderson, Todd was my teacher for arranging and composition back in 1973 at the Berklee College of Music in Beantown MA - Todd is also on my very first album 'Late Rent' one of New York's finest - all these cats are veteran players and studio musicians, and I have been around the block a few times myself - yours' truly Jon Hammond at my 1959 Hammond B3 organ and covering the bass as well - through my custom built Bill Beer super high-power Leslie speaker with all JBL speaker and horn components - enjoy! *Note: When I'm talking, the audio is back to the vid tape - I just plugged an SM-58 in to a little Fender Amp Can battery powered amp - back to basics and analog, big thanks to Willy Hermann ServicesWilliam Hermann Jr. got my intermittent left channel working! - Jon Hammond Band - the "Blend Mic" '3rd channel' Nakamichi system gives a unique 3 dimensional sound to live audio recordings - that's why even today the old Grateful Dead heads crave these machines - can't beat it - and you get real good at flipping cassettes! - JH

Here I am with one of my all-time heroes, the honorable Terence Hallinan -
when I played Terence's birthday party a few years back in San Francisco CA at Rasselas Jazz Club & Restaurant on Fillmore Street when Terence was running for re-election as District Attorney of San Francisco, and he was a great DA! The who's who of San Francisco were there in his honor, including former SF Mayor Willie Brown, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Lisa Hallinan and all the Hallinan's, Mayor of New York David N. Dinkins, club owner Agonafer Shiferaw - and many more, it was a grand party...big honor to play for Terence and everybody there! - Jon Hammond — with Terence Hallinan

Jon Hammond's Road Baggage: The GKPE-49-TSA Flight Case for Sk1 Hammond and Briggs & Riley Travelware
Jon Hammond says, protect your investment in Sk1 Hammond with the custom molded Polyethylene "Polyethylene glycol (PEG)" Flight Case product from Gator Cases
Recommendation from Jon Hammond The GKPE-49-TSA Flight Case for Sk1 Ultra-Portable Organ
Jon Hammond -- When you travel with your instruments as much as I do, you want to have a solid protective flight case for your instrument,
for the new Hammond Sk1 ultra-portable combo organ I highly recommend the GKPE-49-TSA Flight Case from a company called Gator Cases.
The fit is nearly perfect, it locks in to place when you close the case and for extra insurance you can put a small additional piece of foam in the small gap:
