    Red you went to a concert with your Mom.............you one upped me there buddy. Were you like 6 or 7 then? And while on the subject of musicians.......for many of you more in tune with the music world than myself let me encourage you to buy the book ..........The Wrecking Crew"..........about the band. A great read and I'm not a totally geek to music but it will keep you entertained. Perhaps to most verstatile and TALENTED studio band in history. They backed up EVERYBODY..........except black musicians and Booker T and the MG's did that. I give it two thumbs up

    David,

    Sounds like a great book, I will have to check that out. I do remember when checking out album credits in the early 70's right when I was hitting double digits, the same musicians where appearing on "The Archie's" "The Partridge Family" and "Carpenter" Albums. I thought Susan Dey was pretty hot, and she could play piano, she was better then Marsha Brady... boy was I disappointed when I learned those kids didn't play their own instruments.
