There were some misspellings here too -- i.e. singer Gary Brooker's name spelled "Garry" -- Brooker has nothing to do with the song's Hammond melody or playing, a fact I'm not sure Vail realized -- and spelling Fisher's name as "Fischer." But the biggest error in this context is his saying that the song is a "B3" tune. Though Fisher often plays it on B3 in concert (his Hammond was stolen in the 70's when he lent it to Brooker and Reid of Procol Harum after he left that band), the original recording was done on an M-102. I've heard many renditions of this song, by Procol and others, and I think the enchanting, magical sound Fisher achieved on that M-102 has never been surpassed, nor will it ever be."; 0.5 X 8.25 X 11 inches; 224 pages .
