A lot of people seemed to go for the Hammond sound. (Former organ player myself, then lured to piano.)
I'd love to go but have another commitment that night. You'll have to write an extensive review.

I`ve carried a B3 in and out of more dances in my youth than I can count
A friend played one in a local band in the sixties and I got in free,well except for the use of my back.The drummer and trumpet player were friends too but some how I got stuck with the Hammond 
The rumble of that powerful organ can give you goose bumps.I like Tower of Power,they knew how to use that B3 too.

To think now you can buy keyboards that pack all that power, and they're fairly lightweight and can fold up. I was looking at a Yamaha about a year ago that had a pretty good sound and it was under 2K. It was used, but didn't look too bad.
