Cuz something's going on here...
In the other folder someone mentioned Pig's old organ. In 1973 after
Pig died, his brother Kevin started a band and was using the old Vox
organ that was used on the first album. I remember it was beat to
death. One corner was plaster of paris and chicken wire and if you
pushed one key down, 3 more went down with it. Kevin said it had been
"Vio-leed-Blued". When Garcia showed up at the Moore's garage to help
out the band he saw that organ and let out a scream.
By the 2nd lesson he helped Kevin get a new organ.
Although Garcia wanted that old Vox deposited in the bay, I believe
Carol McKernan still has it stored away.
