    Nope-- unbelievably enough, Dr. Lonnie Smith is a different Lonnie Smith--
    master of a trancey, souljazz organ style which I actually prefer to LLS's
    stuff. "Move Your Hand" was probably his biggest "AJ" hit; but "Dancin' in
    an Easy Groove", or "One Cylinder" (from a Lou Donaldson date) are my
    favorite exemplars of his hypnotic style--
