And I didn't. But it was on already, so I was saved. And... And then Tom Wilson came back out and he said, okay, this is take six. And then he saw me and he said, hey, what are you doing out there? And I just started laughing. And he was a gentleman. He just said, okay, okay, let's go. We're rolling. This is take seven.

I guess he thought, you know, if I wanted to do this so bad, he would stand behind it because he was my friend.

Well, they were rehearsing for a second, and I kind of got the thing. And the speaker to the organ was very far from where I was sitting at the organ, and it was covered by baffling so that it wouldn't leak into other microphones that were on in the studio. And so I couldn't actually hear what I was playing.

And if I put the headphones on, I could kind of hear a little bit of it, but other things that were much louder, like the guitar. And I didn't have any music to read. I had to do it by ear, which I was used to doing because of playing on sessions as a guitar player. And I just kind of muddled my way through it, and it was the only complete take of the day.

So they went in to play it back and listen to it. And during the playback, Dylan went over to Tom Wilson and said, hey, turn the organ up. And he said, oh, man, that guy's not an organ player. He says, I don't care, turn the organ up. And that's how I became an organ player.

Well, I mean, it was ironically hilarious, because here's a guy that really didn't know what he was doing, playing hunt-and-peck organ, and like a whole style of organ playing came out of that.
