Hammond B3 & Mini Moog with Arlan Oscar Schierbaum
We had the wonder gift of Arlan Oscar Schierbuam’s keyboard talents joining us for Project ELÉCTRICO. There’s some rocking Mini Moog that we couldn’t film because it’s a new beta keyboard that Arlan is testing. Awesome day! Thank you to Randy Troast for hosting our B3 music-making party in Pasadena, CA, and making the tastiest, homemade pizza’s and margarita’s to boot.
