Ben Fong-Torres Radio Waves ". 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 accordionist composer and radio vet dating back to the late '50s on KPFA. "Recently I played in Shanghai and I could listen to my show in my hotel room at the Ritz Shanghai streaming crystal-clear on my Powerbook." In other words you can get better reception in China than in Chinatown.

Ben Fong-Torres is a freelance writer whose column appears every other Sunday."

M. Dung, whose "Sunday Night Idiot Show" was dropped from the new KFRC, despite being an oldies show, is continuing, but only online, at kyouradio.com from 6 to 8 p.m. Says Dung: "Not as cool as being on the radio, but better than nothing." Ditto Jon Hammond, globe-trotting musician and host of the excellent "Hammondcast," an hour of "funk, swing and soul" at 3 p.m. weekdays.

Tech Talk from Jon Hammond: Playing Hammond organ through Fender Tube Amps

Jon Hammond:
I own 2 Hammond B3 organs and Leslie speakers, unfortunately they will not fit in a taxi cab, so these days I play most of my road gigs using either my Hammond XK-1 organ or my Hammond XK-3 organ and I like to play them through my vintage Fender tube amps, I have 2 1965 Fender amps, a piggy back Fender Band-Master with stock factory 12" Jensen speakers and my Twin Reverb with original JBL Speakers option. The Twin was formerly owned by John McFee when he was in Clover and Flying Circus and at that time he had it maintained by Randall Smith of Prune who started Boogie Amp company. I purchased the amp in 1981, it still has Flying Circus stencil on top of the amp.
My Band-Master is now maintained by Scott Robinson who is Vice President of CHRS California Historical Radio Society.
I also have a 150 watt Music Man HD-212 hybrid amp that is a monster.
Jon's amps: Fender Band-Master Piggyback Amp:

Fender Twin Reverb with factory JBL Speakers

Jon's amps with Hammond XK-1 organ at home, always practice while watching TV and listening to the radio for independence real-world simulation, split the brain:

I play organ standing up for full-power delivery.
