lindy:

I'm always amazed when I find out that I've been listening to the same musician(s) for many decades without knowing who they were:

An amazing career. Thanks for posting.

Rivers:
Yes, that's the lot of many a gifted sideman. Their peers hold them in the highest regard, while the public seldom hears of them.

Some just don't crave stardom and all the baggage that comes with it I guess. I can totally understand that.

RobBob:
Yes he has played on a great number of recordings like so many A list folks who never got full acknowledgement of their work.  Not a bad gig doing session work but it doesn't give you name recognition.

Anyone remember Area Code 615? That as close as many got to fame.

Do I ever??? One of my favorite bands back in whenever it was, maybe 1970?
