    Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Queen, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Jethro Tull, Dr. Hook, Genesis, Supertramp, John Prine, Harry Chaplin, Elton John, Billy Joel, the list goes on. There will never be another era of music like the 70’s. NEVER! I feel truly blessed to be the perfect age back then to take it all in.

      There is a great interview out there somewhere with Larry Carlton about getting the call back 20 years after the recording fact to do a live gig with the Dan - he asked his friends and family should he do the solos like he did them now after 20 years of working on them or should he do it like he recorded them originaly? Apparently everyone looked at him like an idiot and he had to rely on John Harrington to get thru the gig! Now, I'm sure this was 90% the professional tip of the hat to Harrington who has the toughest seat in rock n roll but just the same! In this context you don't improvise very much outside the studio take at all! Lol! There's more than enough meat in the samwich as it is!
