Producer and keyboardist on the track , Craig Patterson now reminds me ... during the recording , we used a 60's Leslie rotating speaker [ without its' cab ] for the Hammond organ . The Leslie had been sitting in storage for years , we fired it up in the studio and to our horror , bees had built a hive in the cones of the rotating speaker, and as it spun , it fired out bees like a catapult !! It was then named and forever known as " The Bee Launcher "
