Hey LA & all Friends.

My Van & Trailer, which also has my main rig inside, all of which are integral to my career and ability to make a living as a musician, were all stolen last night right out in front of my house. The trailer has my beloved 1960 Hammond B3 Organ & 1973 Leslie 122 Speaker inside (both customized and irreplaceable, bought in my hometown of Milwaukee, and with me for years of tours, albums, etc throughout my musical & life journeys, both ups and downs.)

Also inside was a very expensive pedal board, the Hammond dollys, my custom fold out ramp, toolbox, and numerous bags of expensive cables, tubes and personal items.

Attached are photos of:

1 The Van & Trailer and a close up of some identifying stickers on the trailer.

Front of Trailer (facing back of van) has 2 stickers:

One says "Pace"

the other "The Voyd".

2 My Hammond B3 and Leslie 122. There a some identifying features to these such as:

Hammond - has LED lights inside my Hammond and a custom wooden rack underneath.

Leslie - has a foam bass rotor on the bottom and some stickers on the front.

The Van is a Ford E350 12 Passenger Van - White.

The trailer is a 5 X 8 enclosed Pace American - White.

Trailer hitch was locked to Van.

Trailer was locked to the hitch ball with a padlock.

Trailer doors were locked with doughnut lock.

Needlesstosay I am gutted and devastated on many levels. However, with the wide range of deep pain and suffering people experience in this world, I am going to try to keep this unfortunate event in perspective.

So I normally don't post about personal stuff, but figured one thing that's good about social media is its reach. If anyone sees a Van & Trailer around LA matching the above description, or a wayward Hammond Organ & Leslie Speaker floating about (perhaps on Craigslist, outside, or elsewhere) feel free to let me know.

The Police have also been notified and are on the lookout.

Thanks much.
