  1. I Feel a Sin Coming On may be my favourite Solomon Burke tune. I think Mr. Burke could make anything sound soulful. Tuffy P and I had an opportunity to attend one of his shows two or three years ago at Massey Hall here in Toronto, and he was fantastic. His band included a killer B3 player too (I love the so-called colour instruments - B3s and accordions).

  2. Me too. I trance at the sound of a Leslie Speaker....lol. I bet that was a great show! Btw, I don't think that accordions are just colour, they're the whole damn rainbow! ;)

  3. I stumbled across yer blog searching for some Roy Milton.

    The ref to the B-3 and a Leslie cabinet with those rotating speakers (especially the horn) got me all misty.
    Have always been a guitar player but the B-3 in the little soul revues that were in vogue when I was a kid were what did it for me too.
    A horn line and a Hammond B-3 with a Leslie, that was about the height of musical class in that era.
