Lesson transcript:
My Journey into Music
I got started playing when I was about 13 or 14. I had a really good piano teacher who was trying to get me into gigging, which is what I wanted to do.
He had a remarkable career playing the Hammond organ and had played sessions for all kinds of people. His dad even had a killer rock and roll blues band.
Discovering New Sounds
During our lessons, he played me a few records by:
- Steve Winwood
- Jimmy McGriff
- Georgie Fame
I became completely obsessed with the sound. He very kindly lent me an old organ of his that was in storage, and it all just kind of kicked off from there.
The Hook
I heard the tone on records and didn't know what it was. It was kind of a mysterious thing.
It's not a piano or a guitar, these kind of obvious instruments.
Then, he played me a couple of things, and I thought, "Hang on, that's that thing that I've always loved but didn't know what it was."
Suddenly, I was just hooked.
