I first saw a Leslie Speaker at, "The Roof." A NW Iowa ballroom that no longer is. I wasn't sure what I was looking at but soon connected what I was hearing to what I was SEEING! An amazing sound coming from the Hammond player. I don't remember who the band was but I know Tommy James and the Shondells used the Leslie Speaker extensively in their work.
This may be pure hearsay, but I remember hearing something somewhere about Donald Leslie trying to create a 3D surround sound system for theaters, to match with the 3d movies of the day. Obviously it didn't work for that, but the rotating speaker setup sure gave the music some interesting tone. That might be something to add to the write-up, but I'd want verification from better sources than a dim memory before editing that in. Also, didn't he have some sort of title? Doctor or Professor...? Territan 13:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
