Did I mention that I'm not even GOOD at playing organ?Thanks for reminding me how much I hate you.

Back in high school, our keyboardist had one of those. Every practice we'd load it up into the back seat of the bass player's Galaxy 500 convertible, then back to the keyboardists house.
Absolute insanity.

Thanks for the mention of the GSI VB3. I was about to buy NI B4 and then found out if was OOP. I have a Pro3T and an Axiom 61 so I'll try to get that all working. Thanks again. I had no idea this VST was out there.

got a pretty good solution
folks who suggested combining or layering voices on the keyboard were on the right track.
folks who suggested running the keyboard through an overdriven amp and mic'ing the speaker were on the right track.
i wound up combining a couple keyboard voices -- one called rotary organ (includes leslie effect) and one called drawbar organ (includes the percussive clicking keys sound).
run stereo output from the keyboard into two guitar amps, each overdriven.
mic the amps in stereo and you wind up with a pretty good approximation of a B3.
i played around with various effects, hardware as well as vst -- chorus, digital leslie, etc. -- but the most convincing sound resulted from keyboard straight into two overdriven amps with no effects.
thanks all for the input.

Just another guy, really.
Yeah, I'll say. Didn't anyone ever think of rehearsing at the keyboardist' house??

Hammonds had tube amps and part of the sound was them farting out. I have an old tube guitar amp and when I play organ through that it adds a gritty blown out sound so that's something to try.

how to get a B3 sound? its easy
As an owner of 5 Hammonds and 4 Leslies let me say that there is no way to duplicate the sound with anything but a Hammond and a Leslie. You can get some of the sounds with samples and stuff like Native instruments software... but even this falls short because of the numerous changes to drawbars, presets, leslie switching, percussion, vibrato/chorus that are made on the fly
I do have midi on an older Korg that does have a few nice sounds... but I gave up and bought a C3/122..... there are still deals out there.
Might I recommend an M3, M100, or L100 if you are on a budget.... these all take the 145/147 leslies.... once you have it you will never be satisfied with samples...
good luck....

Nord Electro III through fender twin or a leslie if you can get one, I have 2 but I like the the fender twin the most due to my taste in hammond sounds.
