Hammond Report August 13 2021 From Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Daily Music and Stories from the organ player and accordionist Jon Hammond - today's music story with remarkable live recording from inside the legendary Wychmere Harbor Club with the Lou Colombo Band, which I was the house organist on 1976 - 1978 - this recording is from 1976 and I made it on my Nakamichi 550 field recorder right on the bandstand - you'll hear us just as it sounded back then and some stories - also some footage of one of my visits to Curly's Auto Salvage yard North of Cheyenne Wyoming - only American Junk in Curly's, Curly told me the first time I met him! Have a beautiful TGIF folks, I'll be back tomorrow, Jon Hammond

Hammond Report August 11 2021 From Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Daily Music and Stories from the organ player and accordionist Jon Hammond, today's music story is quite remarkable with actual live recording I made onstage playing in 1976 with the great trumpet player bandleader Lou Colombo when I was in the house band at the Wychmere Harbor Club, Louie was the leader, I played nightly along with Frank Shea drums, Jack Peña guitar and yours truly Jon Hammond at the Hammond B3 organ - I was shuttling back and forth from Cape Cod to New York City and Boston - I hit every Howard Johnson's along the way - they called me 'HoJo Hammond' back then I knew every Howard Johnson's waitress, pouring coffee down me to keep me awake on the road - we played Disco, Standards and we were the band for all the parties of Speaker of The House Thomas "Tip" O'Neill including his Daughter's wedding there - stay safe everybody, come back again tomorrow for next Hammond Report

Hammond Report April 21 2021 From Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Daily Music and Stories from the organist & accordionist Jon Hammond, today's music story - actual audio recording of 1978 gig with the late great Lou Colombo the trumpet player (and was also a Pro Baseball player), here we are on the house gig at the Wychmere Harbor Club in Harwich Port Cape Cod - I played Hammond B3 on Lou's band for 2 years. Very sadly / tragically he was killed while driving home from gig at his daughter's restaurant in Fort Myers FL just a few days after I had visited him - Lou was one of the great jazz trumpet players, he played on the Artie Shaw band "Artie Shaw and his Orchestra" with his long-time musical partner Dick Johnson (Dick became leader of Artie Shaw band, picked by Artie Shaw himself) - greatly missed! Thompson's Clam Bar Alumni will remember Louie playing for a long time there at Wychmere Harbor, it's now called Wychmere Beach Club. I just heard back from saxophonist Greg Abate, Greg played many gigs with Lou on The Cape. Keep the Spirt folks. Come back tomorrow for another Hammond Report,
Jon Hammond

It was an exclusive club where we played for members
