[] I should have known better than to send this query to net.music where it got lost in some controversy over whether it was better to have a dead head or just be grateful to be dead. Anyhow, since youse guys like classical music maybe sone of you also like some other things that I do and could help out with the following problem: [] What ever became of "Fabulous" Eddie Osborne, the organ player with the special technique that wow'd the audiophiles about 30 years ago with his aaa-ooo-gaaa horn and mighty Wurlitzer rendition of Merry Oldsmobile, Bicycle Built for Two, McNamara's Band, etc. on Replica Records. Last I heard, Replica had built a special recording studio around two Wurlitzers hooked together in Des Plaines, Illinois. That must have been more than 25 years ago. He was a relatively young guy. Would only be 67 today. I am aware of only two discs of his, both by Replica Records and only one recorded in the super organ studio. Both Mono, both still great sound. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
