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
