However, Hammond had not played an instrument since going to art school shortly after his time in the John Evan Band, and was chosen more for his social compatibility with the other band members than for his musical skills.
Втім, Геммонд не грав на цьому інструменті відтоді як вступив до художньої школи невдовзі після участі в John Evan Band, і його обрали швидше через соціальну сумісність з іншими членами гурту, ніж завдяки музичним навичкам.
