I was and I still am. Being an amateur organist myself (Hammond/Leslie), I have always been a big fan of DP, especially Jon Lord, their Hammond organist. Magnificent stuff.
Amazing stuff. I've been a big fan of Iron Maiden. Do you like their work, or not as much?

Not as much. My big music passion has always been Hammond Organ & Leslies, so I have always gravitated to groups or solo artists that predominately feature Hammonds. DP, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Billy Preston, Santana, and great Hammond jazz players like Jimmy Smith (RIP) and Joey DeFrancesco. I even love the Hammond players of the '40s & '50s, greats like Lenny Dee and Ethel Smith. I like most all genres of music if they include Hammond, but my favorites tend to be jazz and classic "tin pan alley" popular songs.
