Fact #193470

Al Kooper (keyboards, Blues Project) : I used a Farfisa organ with The Blues Project because I didn't have a Hammond organ until Blood, Sweat And Tears. I played the Farfisa about ¾ of the way through The Blues Project and then they brought a cheap portable Hammond organ, an L111, and I used that until the end of The Blues Project. It was a big update over the Farfisa but there were sounds I couldn't get on it that I could get on the Farfisa. The Farfisa was a cool organ. When I think about it, it's best exemplified by Country Joe And The Fish. They really used it, it was their sound. They were funny organs.
