Who Played On 70's Pop/Rock?

A guy named Danny Pendleton played on "Afternoon Delight", on a Sierra with a universal tuning if I remember correctly. It was a Washington D.C. based band (The Starland Vocal Band). Danny also played some on Emmylou Harris's first album, and I believe had a "day job" for some government agency. Haven't heard anything about him in years....[This message was edited by Pete Finney on 21 February 2005 at 09:14 AM.]

I remember a song or two by Three Dog Night that had steel. Who was it?

Isn't there a Richie Havens tune with steel? A Beatles cover?

Klaus,
No doubt!

It's Paul on "It's So Nice To Be With You".
I don't think it's Paul on "One Toke Over The Line" I think it's Red Rhodes. I need to hear the song again, to be sure.
I do think Paul recorded with Brewer & Shipley at Pete's Place. I loved the music they put out too!

Dave-"Never Been to Spain"was a Three Dog Night record with steel...was that Rusty Young?

I have a great LP by Jonathan Edwards and one by Steve Goodman which is really cool and both feature Bill Keith on pedal steel. Who did the steel work on the Mathews Southern Comfort version of "Woodstock"? I always liked it better than the CSNY version. Paul's work on Gallery's "So Nice To Be With You" is one of the first things I ever tried to work out just like the record as it was so dang tasty. More great steel can be found on Rick Nelson & the Stone Canyon Band's recordings by Tom Brumley...JH

David,

In the 70's I recorded with Brewer and Shipley. I don't have a copy of the article so I don't know how it reads, but back in those days I told interviewers that I had recorded with that group and after their puzzled look I would say they are the band that had the hit "One Toke Over The Line". Now I proof read ALL articles before they are printed to prevent these kinds of misunderstandings.

Anyway how this session happened is worth telling. I recieved a call from Rose Drake that Pete Drake was at Quad studios and he needed me to come by immediately because there was a problem with his steel tuning up. I got there and he said "sit down and tune that thing and tell me if its my ears or not; I can't get it in tune. I'll go in the control room and stall the producer, and thanks for coming by to help". With a puzzled look I did just that. A few minutes later the producer (Norbert Putnam) says to me over the loud speaker, "You ready to do this song?" I asked "where's Pete?" He said he's gone home and you're the guy.

Pete was back at his studio, Pete's Place, mixing another session when I dropped off his guitar later that evening. He laughed as he said with a wink; "How'd you do?" Pete was really good to me?

Don't forget Al Perkins, who also played on a lot of records (Emmylou Harris, Flying Burrito Bros., Stephen Stills, etc.).

Bobbe played on Dave Loggins "Please come to Boston"

Artistdirect.com does not list anyone besides Weldon Myrick as playing steel on "Apprentice," which is the album that contained "Come To Boston". I don't know if this information is reliable, but I clearly remember Weldon being listed in the credits on the album cover "way back when".

I hope this doesn't turn into one of those Carol Kaye/James Jamerson things. On the other hand, it would bring some excitement to the discussion.

Could be that Bobbe had some tracks on Dave's "Please Come To Boston" album, which is a "greatest hits" kind of package. If so, I'd like to know which tunes he played on... so's I can listen more intently!

Maybe Bobbe himself will enlighten us, as Paul did.[This message was edited by Rick McDuffie on 23 February 2005 at 06:56 PM.]
