The 1970s. Early childhood. I remember occasional home visits from a blind piano tuner.

We also had a Farfisa electric organ. Then, in my early teens, I occasionally played a Hammond organ (badly) at a pub on Canvey Island. Tremolo involved some colossal thing rotating, I guess that it was a Leslie speaker <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_speaker>.

In my late teens, a Hohner Clavinet. Nice idea, but it was so heavy that when I sulkily quit a band, during rehearsal, I had to pay a passing schoolchild fifty pence to help me carry it to a bus stop.

Now: my sister and her husband adore their grandchildren, who enjoy playing piano. They also discarded a traditional upright piano, non-electric, years before the grandchildren were born.

I still have my grandparents' piano, which hasn't been tuned since the 1970s. It needs to go, I doubt that it's saleable, I'll probably have to pay a team of four people to take it for scrap metal.

Fifty years later: in the absence of traditional pianos to tune, what profession might the same blind person choose? Would it involve AI? I wonder.

I'm nostalgic about the past, but future technologies have been making traditional stuff redundant for decades.

With regard to the piano tuning profession: I'm a number one offender, because I never bothered to pay someone.

Deep Listening Day #37 — Human Switchboard: Who's Landing in My Hangar? (1981). I listened to this album a lot back in college. I felt I was in my own one person secret society. it still sounds great. a less punk rock version of X plus #Farfisa organ.

nerduban – smoke signals (1968) [full album • double lp • analog psych noir rock]

Unearthed from a forgotten reel-to-reel tape labeled “Nerduban – Violet Lantern Sessions.”

This 30-track double LP was tracked in Spring 1968 at The Violet Lantern Club, South Side Chicago — a nocturnal journey of analog tremolo guitars, swirling Farfisa organs, brushed snares, modal jazz fragments, and hypnotic noir psychedelia. -Captured straight to mono tape — no edits, no overdubs. -All bleed, hiss, and hum left intact. -Restored carefully from decayed tape and analog drift. – Let the echo pull you in.

LINER NOTES: From the inner sleeve of the 1968 Violet Lantern pressing: “Nerduban never played for the crowd. They played for the shadows in the room.”

Recorded in the spring of 1968 inside the dim-lit rehearsal chamber of Chicago’s Violet Lantern Club, Smoke Signals captures a moment that feels both ancient and eerily current. This isn’t music made for the radio, but for the tape deck of a forgotten basement — where echo swirls, tremolo pulses, and stories never find their endings. Every hiss you hear is real. Every amp buzz, every tape drift, every ghost in the left channel — it all stayed. No edits. No second takes. This was Nerduban at their most honest: ambient, abstract, moody, raw. With analog equipment humming just past the point of breakdown, they mapped out a noir-psychedelic terrain that sways between modal jazz and smoke-drenched rock séance. You don’t listen to this record — you drift through it. — W. K. HEINGART Archivist & Engineer Nerduban Archive Circle, 2025

The prompt is #Jerk

Caesar’s Palace, “Jerk It Out” from "Love for the Streets" 2002

This track is utterly, totally derivative of #60s early psychedelia, and utterly, totally perfect, from the swirling #Farfisa #organ out front to those shakers chasing and spicing the beat.

You may know this Swedish band as #Caesars but they originally recorded under the name Caesar’s Palace (with a couple of US releases as The Twelve Caesars).

This track first appeared on their 2002 release Love for the Streets, and they wisely included it on the rebranded band’s ‘debut’ album “Paper Tigers” in 2005, where it’s most widely available (albeit not on the sole vinyl release, nor the Swedish CD).

I knew them first from Paper Tigers, #PowerPop that makes it hard to sit still, with some of their earlier, grittier #GarageRock feel still intact. Whatever the name, wherever you find them, these guys get the job done.

Caesar’s Palace, “Jerk It Out” from "Love for the Streets" 2002

This track is utterly, totally derivative of #60s early psychedelia, and utterly, totally perfect, from the swirling #Farfisa #organ out front to those shakers chasing and spicing the beat.

You may know this Swedish band as #Caesars but they originally recorded under the name Caesar’s Palace (with a couple of US releases as The Twelve Caesars).

This track first appeared on their 2002 release Love for the Streets, and they wisely included it on the rebranded band’s ‘debut’ album “Paper Tigers” in 2005, where it’s most widely available (albeit not on the sole vinyl release, nor the Swedish CD).

I knew them first from Paper Tigers, #PowerPop that makes it hard to sit still, with some of their earlier, grittier #GarageRock feel still intact. Whatever the name, wherever you find them, these guys get the job done.

This is one of the best albums I've heard ALL year.

https://youtu.be/k9p3qud-cQo?si=CxJMY02W_2zSL_Ee

It's from 1972, from a French group I did not know...

A group who clearly set out to make the Farfisa an artistic marvel.

Spoiler: they succeeded.

Holy Wave, “Wet & Wild” from “Relax” 2014

Bless #AustinTX for being a bastion of free thinking in the midst of a state about which I shall not editorialize here.

This last track on #Austin's Holy Wave’s second album ends it perfectly, its melody suggesting a coda. This is #PsychedelicRock that just drips essence of #60s, complete with what sounds like a classic #farfisa organ; maybe it’s the disaffected #StreamOfConsciousness lyrics that keep it feeling modern.

I thought I mentioned the #Pianaccord in my #AccordionRevolution history of the #accordion 📚 but I guess not?

I may have only learned about them when I was researching electronic Accordions for a talk after I published

That was fun 🤩 ❤️‍🔥🪗

Here’s a few of the hits from that including ones from #farfisa (started as an accordion company) and #Hohner (who made millions of #harmonicas 😬 accordions and #keyboards like the #clavinet)

But I really want a #Multimonica!
