Hi, Todd Phipps here..I'm a Hammond player and multi-instrumentalist in Mount Horeb WI (near Madison) who mainly hangs in blues/soul/funk world as far as the bands I play in go but I love to rock too.

Moving away from the hellscape run by a certain elongated muskrat...I can be found at @toddtheb3nut.bsky.social in der blaue Himmel. 😀

A couple of my bands:

www.rareelementfunk.com
https://www.eclipseband.org/ - the best of Pink Floyd!
www.blueolives.com
https://kelseymiles.com/

I also hold court the first Thursday of the month with my soul/blues/rock group The Usual Suspects at the blues jam at The Red Rooster in Madison: redroostermadison.com

Hey Todd, thanks for listening and commenting about my Ramblin' at Random and for recognizing the Monk reference.

@daveyboy103 1w

Thanks for all your kind words Todd

@wobbiewobbit 1w

how can i play a "hammond" part and not think of Todd? In my head it has got it all going on but i go simple/effective as my only choice/aim. All hail maestro and thanks for the comment

@richaaaay 1w

Hey Todd, thanks for listening and commenting on my song Short & Sweet. I totally appreciate your tip to use a reverse phase on the channels. I'm not experienced with doing that but I knew there was some way to attempt that. You've pointed me in the right direction...Much appreciated.

@gm7 1w

You probably know this band:

Turkuaz
or

Turkuaz is my fav band "sound"

@headfirstonlyMod 2w

Thanks for the nod in the recommendations thread. I'm most chuffed!

@jamesstaubes 2w

Yes indeed, the lads from Liverpool were beyond extraordinary. What an amazing catalog of inspiration.

@cts 2w

Thanks for the listen! We’re up next. Had some logistic issues with a vocalist but we should be good by the weekend. And for some reason I thought I was following you, but I’ll fix that readily.

@atam94 2w

Thank you so much for the kind words on my music, Todd. I really do appreciate it.

@rockstarsmd 2w

Hey Todd! So glad to see you back on the FAWM horse for another year... keep up the great work!

@daveyboy103 3w

Glad you liked Eye of the Storm Todd, thanks for the kind words

@sarahk 3w

Hi Todd! Looking forward to seeing you around here. Happy FAWM!

@cts 3w

Hey Todd! Good to see you back! Hope all is well. Let's make some jelly!

...like soon! 😄

@caitlin 3w

Yeahhhhh Todd! It's been so nice keeping in touch with you on the socials throughout the year. Happy to be back here in FAWMland with you!

@nadine 3w

Thanks for your comment! I have to ask my friend if the synth on "Into The Abyss" is actually mellotron. I just have a wav file. Some months ago, he gifted me a zip file with a dozen unfinished riffs and loops, cause he quit producing music... It's sad, but I feel like I should something with the one or another idea.

@emplate 3w

Thank you for the comment on "Crucify the Elite"! Hahah, yeah, you got my point exactly! ;)

@billwhite51 3w

Pump that Hammond and crank out the goodies!

@mattwdunn 3w

Thanks Todd. Hoping I can come up with something. Writers block has hit at the wrong time but we’ll see what shakes loose

@headfirstonlyMod 3w

Thanks! All three of those Rolands have just been serviced (the JX-3P was completely dead; it was the first polysynth I ever bought, from Rod Argent's Keyboards in Denmark Street and I wasn't about to give up on it. Both Junos needed new sound chips and the Juno-60 now has new CPUs, because after forty years they'd failed. Not cheap...)
