1. Our Drummer Loved This Tune

We would do it at jam nights. Plenty of room for guests to blow.
I loved doing the horn parts. It's a cool hook.
We did it the first time we ever got together. The other guys had never played in a band with horns and 2 had never been in one with a keyboard player.
Suddenly, fully extemporaneously, that 80s technology had sample horns, clavinet and a real piano.
I have fond memories of this song.

Sometimes I joke, is it really a band if it doesn't have horns. I also read your exchange with that other organ officionado yesterday, way above my pay grade soy didn't engage. Though I didn't expect an emotional reaction to Green Onions

...I would fo horns using a 12 bit rack sampler for reeds, one 16 bit sampled playback device for a brass section, and another playback device for trumpet. Layering them gave a huge thick horn soubd with the extra grit of 12 bit on the saxes.
