Chris Shane (above) Richie Havens & John Sebastian (at
Woodstock) would hang out at XES's shop. Chris played
Hammond Organ at Electric Lady and Baggy's Sessions.
Lucien is mentioned on Gibson website above
Gibson flew Lucien & Mike to Chicago but a deal
did not happen. XES's proposal was for Gibson to
acquire the rights for XES manufacturing, but these
instruments were much too sophisticated for Gibson.
a funny story about a local band with an XES is below
