This voice we go to record with a tape recorder.
- Brad? - Here it is.
- Brad? - Yes. </ P>
Do you want me to lie down again? </ P>
After the instrumental break,
and then come back in by crawling
oward the end, uh... Like, before "C"?
We will cry again the baby, for the instrument....
What do we start! What will it be?
Alright, take two.
- Alvin! - Fine!
It's 5:00 in Los Angeles!
The destroyer crew the focal point of the music.
They are people with all enthusiasm,
and all know,
especially for rock and roll music.
In hardcore production areas,
everyone knows what happened there
I mean, everyone knows that the best musicians
are played in all sessions,
but we as a general public don't know
I don't know that certain people
don't play their own notes until The Monkees are coming. </ P>
They play really well, and they play really well together. </ P>
I think they are so into it. They all respect each other,
and they will all do it sit and hang...
You know, talk between taking and hanging.
I mean, it feels like... It's a social event
for these people too
What's good about that unit? </ P>
is that they play together a lot.
And that's the way it is an established groove machine.
They know each other.
So you can really rely on what they offer
We play for everyone.
The Lazy-Crazy-Hazy Days summer album
with Nat King Cole, That is the same person who did that
the Beach Boys are doing.
The musician is really an unsung hero
of all records hit.
When I listen to the recording,
it's very clear that these people
are just very good.
And you can see why everyone uses them, you know?
Because they are so strict.
They are cold stones rock professionals and roll,
and maybe there will never be
a group of rock and roll musicians
of that caliber again.
Chances are, you don't know the name.
But chances are you sang and hummed with the music.
Famous studio guitarist Tommy Tedesco passed away.
I'm Kurt Loder with a news story MTV is short. </ P>
Tommy Tedesco is arguably
king of Los Angeles session guitarist
You may never hear his name </ p >
or hear it speak, but listen.
He is someone you have heard before
He is a feature of in the theme for Bonanza...
in Batman
Tasks
Shops!
Tedesco died of cancer Monday
in his house < br /> in Northridge, California,
at the age of 67.
While the name may not be soon familiar
for everyone, some aspects of The music is almost certain.
This is the irony.
You spend your whole life playing guitar,
creating guitars licking those people
worldwide
But no one knows your name, until you die
And then, even in the end,
they misspelled your name and called you...
- "Tony Tedesco." - not Tommy
Tommy is not only a legendary guitarist
He is my father. </ p >
And he is also an member of the elite group
from studio musicians
So what follows is the story of my father
and his extended family, Destructive Crew
Hondells, Marketts, Routers...
We will cut the lines and notes,
and then they form a group to become that group.
People really don't focus
on a long and notched album recording session
Four songs in three hours.
It's only a certain group people can do
Lots of recordings coming out here
That's when you have inflow from many New York musicians.
It was in the middle years' 60s,
when they started flowing here
Then it became a flood around that time.
Things this causes a surge in work
for LA studio musicians
Not all of them, but a small group,
which is then known as The Wrecking Crew.
It's not an organized band from musicians
who left to take over rock and roll.
And I can't tell you exactly which part of this
hit making machine.
Even musicians That is part of this scene
can't reach agreement
p>
Twelve, 15 people.
Maybe what, 20 of us?
Thirty, maybe?
Maybe 20 musicians,
p>
or maybe a few more,
counts string players, of course.
They do it all sessions
They are products from & apos; 40s, & apos; 50s, and 60s. </ P>
And they are great musicians
with all these talents.
And they are in the right place. And this is the right time,
and they can do this.
On the first day of shooting, I brought
four from LA the biggest player session together
Carol Kaye, Plas Johnson
and Hal Blaine, together with my father
This might be the first time < br /> that all four
are in the same room around 20 years.
Do you recognize me... You have lost weight!
And all you have to do is just hurt
Rolling.
- Rolling. - Okay, the question is...
This isn't, uh...
You know, if everyone has been in the studio...
God bless them all... For 20, 30 years,
they all wear blue blazers, neck ties,
and there are no talks, don't smoke, and nothing
And we get in there with Levis and t-shirts,
smoke, whatever we are...
Yes. - And parents
says, "They will destroy the business."
You know, "They will get stuck the music business."
We don't have respect owned by parents.
Remember older studio players,
Barney Kessels, and Lloyd Elliots,
- all of these people - Yes, that's right.
Well, that's the whole destroyer of the incoming crew
Even though the term is "Broken Crew"
gained popularity with rock historians,
Many of these musicians never heard the term
until years later.
I thought Hal Blaine was the first I heard from.
- Yes, that... - Maybe he
came up with the name
I thought it evolved very very. </ p >
- There is there... - The first time I heard
the name, I guess is in The Baked Potato,
where they have get-togethers.
They use that expression "destroy crew."
Well, it's been used before.
It's used when we're recording. </ P>
And the definition of who is a member of The Wrecking Crew,
actually doesn't exist any definition
Between engineers, manufacturers
and the musicians themselves,
each has its own about how it all goes down.
Together, they are formed a snapshot of a time
it won't ever repeated
Anyone can do it five or six different things
in many different instruments too
There are many manufacturers < br /> at that time
It wasn't really a musician,
so these people were able to to decode...
He was talking about me, by the way, so...
No, I mean there are some manufacturers
that really are just, you know,
doesn't really know the language of the musician,
and these people are able to to just interpret it quickly.
People we talked about
played for so many people
in a variety of different styles.
That's an interesting thing.
They can enter, uh, a pop sound, and play it.
They can do rhythms and blues.
They can do soul music.
I think they can do it classically if they have to,
But they have a magic touch.
We were injected a lot of ourselves into it,
because we are good at doing it
We always do it
A man will give us a tin sheet or something,
and we will know what the song is.
We made a lot settings and so on
on that set, ourselves on those things.
Here's how that The Beat Goes On sounds
when we first hear it.
I said, "Uh-oh, we need to draw
a rabbit from a hat for this one," you know?
It is our job to come with riffs and items,
so about the third line I came up with is:
And Sonny likes it and he gave it to Bob West,
bass player, to play it. And we both played it
throughout the song And without a good bass line, </ p >
songs don't pop, you know,
it doesn't snap, you know, like a big hit record.
I always say, " They put notes on paper. </ P>
They put notes on paper,
But it's not music. " You make music. </ P>
What do you do with that note?
- Right - What are you doing with the graph?
- Of course - What are you doing with chords?
Besides that, < br /> they can call the union
- for guitar players - That's right, so...
So, what you put into it, </ p >
for how many days, Actually, we are all here.
And that's what you put in it it's not written
Yeah, well, actually, everyone can... who sits here,
I remember doing it different things
it didn't even ever think about it.
And then, suddenly, becomes part of the note,
and part of the signature from the note
We all produced ourselves part. It's that simple
- Oh, yes, yes - To make it swing, huh.
You know, the first thing I have ever done
it smells anything from rock and roll
is sort of dated, which I don't even know
who is the artist There is no eighth chord
on bushel, you know? That's all beautiful vanilla.
That's when I found out There was something different.
At that time, I do TV shows Ozzie And Harriet.
- Ah. - Then suddenly,
You know, I did this show. And then, they...
One day, they came up with... Well, Jimmie Haskell appeared...
- with Ricky Nelson - And with Ricky Nelson, say...
- It's rock and roll. - "We're doing
barang rock and roll ini. "
I don't know what they are talking about
Just put down the chord sheet, and say,
- "Playing behind Ricky Nelson."
So soon, you're over...
We started to get involved in this
That's what led me to LA in... In 196...
The summer of 1960, uh, to play in the band Ricky Nelson. </ P>
Working with people- that person like that
is a perfect work for what will happen later
What I don't know that I will ever
player "session".
I don't even know what that means
We learn to play rock and roll
there at work
Hey, you know, If they want this...
I can do that.
You know, it's Latin... That's latin music.
It's nothing, you know.
You can do it all day.
There are some purists, like there are
in every way of life, some people won't compromise <
Not that they can't. They won't, most of the time,
Allow themselves for, you know...
They feel like that at some level.
And playing rock and roll
Maybe a little below them
And they don't want to get into it,
whereas, our people, we welcome rock and roll
They don't play that crap. They don't know it. </ P>
Mereka tidak menyukainya.
And I started out playing mainly demos,
You know, $ 10 a song, and I have to eat that day, and...
I have three children to earn income live, and that's it.
And the money is important to pay rent
So what do I do <
I have a, uh, fender guitar
and put the light gauge where you can
Bend them from here until Christmas.
And listen to some people who do this,
and rock groups, and I have so I can play it
better than they can.
First call I've been to Disney,
we got there a quarter to 12:00, and all blue blazers
is leaving. And we all sit there,
and he makes a little speech about, "Ladies and gentlemen,
we brought you here Because in this film,
we will do a little... Some of you...
- Your rock and roll music. " - "Your rock and roll music"? </ P>
"This is"... yes. "There are a few scenes here..."
- That always happens to me. - "... and we will show it
to you," And that a quick and small scene,
So he said "Now, we have all the music for you. </ P>
It is in front of you. </ P>
And we will do this for what we call & apos; track click . & apos; "
Like, we don't know whatever is happening
" We'll run click very slowly
so that you can all learn, learn, and memorize this music. "
Then he said," Mary Anne, play the results much slower. "
Well, he accidentally hit him,
and so we heard eight clicks,
dingling- < ding-ding, we go in
And we play this thing front to back.
And when we're done, This person said ,
"How about in... Man, you did it perfectly.
- I hope we can make it. " -" Make it. "
" How in the world? Can you do that?
And Tommy said, "We practice a lot during the day. "
It's perfect, because they...
They think so a complete idiot
I mean, that's amazing.
Most of the music and the money...
I'm just about to say it... a Freudian slip , but it's true...
Get out of the Brill building in New York.
It's based in New York, New York Writer,
New York singer, New York musician
His music business in New York City,
period, at that time.
Rolling master "A."
Teacher "A," take one. Here it is, rolling.
Say, Chess Records back in Cincinnati
But maybe only there is one guitar player,
one bass player, one piano player,
so that it can almost be lifted < br /> by one or two people.
Well, they can come to Los Angeles,
and they... no a problem if they can call
problems 10 or 12 different guitar players,
all will be it's just as good
to do what they want to do,
plus we have more studios out here.
to look for fame and their luck.
This untapped place for...
For new artists to record as well.
Lee Hazlewood told me he returned to New York
to do the session, and he just kind of walked
to the guitar player, and said,
And that person just refused
to experiment and try anything Like, if not written,
who is willing to contribute
and come up with an idea , you know,
and I think so is the difference
The 60s call all music to the west.
L.A. is the right place.
If you want the best, they are here, in Los Angeles.
The sound is coarser and more loose
of what came out of New York,
has a lot to do with, I think, musicians
that we use, because they are fresh for sound.
Things, you start the waves
and the Earl starts twice, you know
You know... You know, we duplicate it and make it sweet. </ P>
True different differences
And in... for those years, record manufacturer
- choose west coast. - Yes,
and the hit starts get out of here
This is where young films
are being made Everyone wants to be a surfer.
Are you white? or black or alive
in the middle of the desert, you want to have a surfboard.
That's crazy. And along with that
young music comes , and it was created here.
The beauty of the beach is everywhere, and art lovers are willing to see.
This is a paradise for thousands of people from sun worshipers,
California at birth or adoption.
I remember scented air, night jasmine in bloom,
and all kinds of plants it grows
in Southern California, and how to daydream everything.
That's his voice from The Beach Boys
type of wafting through from house to house,
You know, almost the same recording just repeats,
and that idea, "Hey, this is real.
This is the culture here, < br /> is this beach thing. "
- The Beach Boys!
Thank you very much.
Right now, we want to show you how about The Beach Boys
go take notes
We start with Denny Wilson on drums...
followed by Al Jardine on the rhythm guitar...
helped out by Carl "lead guitar" Wilson...
and was filled instrumentally by our leader,
Brian Wilson on bass.
When we are ready to sing, we step into the microphone,
and exit something like this.
I went to Gold Star,
and I met with a favorite musician, Phil Spector,
And I immediately got Steve Douglas started the order,
You know, re... They are called regular customers,
Destructive crew And he started ordering it
for me in my studio in the west
The player's session was brought by the manufacturer
for various reasons.
Actually, most of the mid-1960s, beach children supported the tracks
no features one of The Beach Boys.
That's Brian's decision Wilson to push music
to another level And to do that,
he is listed as the best of LA
We on the road 150 days a year.
Brian starts a little More complex
in his settings And it just has to be too difficult
to... coordinate our trip
And that's when the destructive crew entered.
When I heard that some people sat in it
for some of The Beach Boys, it surprised me
But actually, at that time,
Beach Children Brian Wilson.
He created everything. </ p >
He is very confident, very restrained
He brought on the charts that he wrote himself.
And most of the time, I mean , the music is entirely his.
I mean, there are very few times we make
- lick the stuff Yes. - True music. </ P>
He's on his head what he wants
The first album, that...
Summer Day, </ p >
Boy Beach Album.
Ray Pohlman is great Bass player, very good.
Steve Douglas is, like, so it's on-the-mark
as a saxophonist. He just blew my mind.
He played with Such proficiency, do you know?
And he used to look close into the microphone
to get the best advantage from the instrument.
They're all... The Wrecking Crew... They're just great.
Brian is a genius. I mean, he'll just...
He's just good As I've seen, I believe,
about putting things together.
Studio west, and maybe there...
fifteen, 20 people in that studio.
He will start from the first person...
and he sings their part until they get it,
and the second man, he will sing their part,
and third person, All the way around the room.
Then he will return for the first person
Well, first person has forgotten his role
and he will sing it again, sing the second...
He teaches everything out of mind.
And suddenly, it's the whole band
can play that crap I mean, Brian is...
If you want to talk about genius,
he... no more like him I know.
I mean, he's amazing.
Pet Sounds are a very important note,
and still standing there, like, "Okay, over this," you know?
George Martin told me < br /> Sgt. Pepper is a business...
That is an effort for the equivalent of Pet Sounds.
So that's a very unusual influential note
and I think that's right electromagnetic fields.
And people are attracted here, and want to be a part of it,
and want to take notes like that. </ p >
Good Vibration, we have to have done 25, 30 sessions.
It might take six months to do it.
A few days, we work five minutes
- A few days, four hours. - Yeah.
- On the same song. - We just... We experimented.
And they will ask me, "Well, what do you want?"
And I will say, "OK, I don't know, "You know? </ P>
And we will go home, and Next time we are together,
then we will fall together, and we will do anything.
Three months, two, three dates a week,
but Capitol Records is lifting the tab.
And we like to work for it.
That word, "Do you have the date?
with Brian Wilson tomorrow? "</ P>
I will say," Yes, I know. " " Oh good. "</ P>
Well, Carol plays on Good Vibration
and California Girls, and he, like,
star of the show I mean, that's how it is
the biggest bass player Inside the world.
And he is far ahead of time.
He will play a tonic in one fifth
or the third, not the fifth, you know.
to start playing like that.
But he must have written a few neat lines on the bass,
like, for example:
I never played it.
I will go into this...
Now that's the jazz road.
You know this kid is in something really great
Room it has enthusiasm for it, with Hal being a leader,
You know, and everyone
works together, and is pounding and pumping. <
He will get the item like he wants to hear it.
And when he gets them like that, that's good.
When I'm hear G ood Vibrations First time on the radio,
I just... That just knocked me out.
Now.
Very good. </ P>
I remember Carol though. I still have to remember,
Because of your favorite thing, no matter what day we continue
After that, "Do you like me? to use Boy Beach pick?"
And that's how it does
impressive nonsense from... This one, and...
He took it on the way to the studio </ p >
And they see choose this,
- and they look at it - You have to sell it,
- you know. - He sells this crap
like I don't believe. One small pick makes this girl
hundreds of thousands from dollars
I very jealous of the guitar
When we first dated and got engaged,
and he paid more I felt the guitar, I felt it.
So I gave him an ultimatum, "This is me or the guitar."
And he said, "Honey, the guitar doesn't have legs.
You know."
I'm so angry at him, I took my ring
and I throw it at him.
Then I go look for it.
And I'm one of them beginners in life
I'm not one of those people you read in the book.
You know, you read this article
in Guitar Player magazine, the man said,
"Well, when I was 12,
I have reindeer meat and all this, you know."
When I was 12 years old, I was playing marbles myself,
I don't know, you know. And when I was 24,
I be at Douglas Aircraft, you know, the box moves
- and try playing the guitar.
I am 24, I am still in this matter.
"Wow, I am in seventh position."
And finally I studied one hip chord </ p >
- Whoa.
So I'm not one of them you read about.
We go to prom, and Ralph Marterie
is playing dance. We know
that their guitar players left that night
And he tried, auditioned, </ p >
and he was hired right then and there.
It was Friday night, and Saturday night,
He left for New York City.
Tell me the truth. - Okay, you have to let go.
Marterie will get it guitar / singer,
so he can only pay for one person
He decides that he knows there's nothing there
in Niagara Falls for him.
He wants to go to California to play.
While my father struggled to find work playing guitar, </ p >
he has to make ends meet work in the warehouse
He always says that the best job he has ever had.
He really hates him, That made him practice every day. </ P>
I was told by two people before we left,
"He will never succeed." </ P>
So after seven months fighting here,
dad wants to go back, and I said, "Impossible,"
because I didn't give up for those two people
And that's why dad said, "Stubborn Sicilian wife."
The fact is, my wife is behind me 100%
like, all the time I work. And he... That is "you tour."
He is working, he is receiving a call,
he doesn't... never complains
I'll enter at 11:00 or 10:00,
I'll see my children at any time.
My wife accepted it, this is our life,
our entire family took it exactly like that
Once in a while, a musician's wife
will come and complain to him,
and he will talk to them. He will say,
"Alright, look , it's his life. "
Well, Carmie never talks for Barbara the Barbarian
Whoa-ho-ho-ho.
My father will say, "There are only four reasons
for gig:
for the sake of money, for connections,
for experience, or just for fun. "
I have to tell a story about your father
We were in West studio three there,
and, uh, Jan Berry Jan and Dean,
he counted the song, "All ready? Yes, all right. "</ P>
Tedesco started playing,
and Jan said," Stop, wait. " And he went and saw,
and he said, "Tedesco, what are you doing?"
He... Tommy...
The music is upside down,
and Tommy read it again.
Well, that's a true story,
but you're talking about laughing at it.
Tommy is a cut- up.
Hold it, cut it.
There is energy that Phillip will get.
I remember, Phillip will do it very excited every session.
There is only vitality In that room...
Will lift you from
And there will also be so many players
and the sound will be so big.
I mean, it must be... The sound wall is really...
It really exists. </ P>
I have never been in the studio
it exists there is a different guy
It's always the same person.
"Wall sounds" that echo Gold Star room,
- especially - Now that's wall-to-wall
- musician first. - Yes that's right. </ P>
Most people will use it part four rhythm cut.
He has four guitars, or six, or seven.
There are four pianos always,
one bass upright, one bass fender
I mean, it's only one drum, usually.
Fifteen people play instruments percussion.
- In a very small room. - Yeah.
Not a small room, but the rooms are average.
And the big echo space that Gold Star
is famous, That is the sound wall. </ P>
Ceramic wall. </ P>
- One two three.
- good - Sound wall
from Phil Spector's s / s more like feeling lost.
Weight on You & apos ; ve Lost Lovin 'Feelin & apos; that,
and that is... He uses echoes so much,
and that's swimming all the time.
Regardless from the baffle, we all leaked
to each microphone, enough to give it
combination of leakage and echo, plus we are tired.
By taking 30, you are tired, you know.
So it's real < br /> Feeling relaxed on the hit.
This is the most played song of all time
Oh, I believe, yeah.
Most footage played all the time.
Their whole voice Phillip's.
Phillip too really, really superstitious,
and he doesn't... He wants those people,
and he always wants it those people, you know
He feels just safe when he was playing with those people.
Same musician, the same engineer, same studio,
Same, maybe, record brand .
Yes, maybe. - Um...
That's just something he thinks otherwise
do it like that, it won't be a hit.
- And he might be right. - He might be right
And we are grateful for that. </ P>
G-minor seventh. </ P>
You know, Phillip is walking in nature different universe
than anyone else and so on In his mind, that's all he is,
You know, and the people just kind
an extension from what he can't do
Phil will never record anything
for the first three hours.
I mean, he works with these people
so they don't play
individualistic. They are too tired.
And that's how they are < br /> merges with this...
This sound wall.
Phil bowed to Howard very, very hard
about how to play, just go on on it, and on it, and on it.
And not satisfied or something,
and keep them playing, and again, and again,
and again for hours
until Howard's hand is just a lump of pain.
"No, no, no, no, this way." Howard said, "Look, man,
"If I can't play it, and you know what it is,
why don't you play it? "
Howard Robert is the only man I've ever seen
Walked out of a session,
where he was fair put it all,
take the guitar and amps,
and he walked out. He said, "That's enough of this."
He is very demanding. I have no problem with Phil.
I think that's because he knows I always know
that I'm not the original drummer,
Because if I want The problem is, I'm out. </ P>
Who will he get? </ P>
He already, you know, fighting with Al,
maybe Al didn't will have it back.
So... So, we're fine.
They make fun of it all the time,
but they like it very much.
I think they're really respecting him
They think he's crazy, which, of course, he is,
but I think they always look forward to it
because that will always happen something really cool
It feels like that total friendship too,
because they will enter and they will talk about,
You know, "What are you doing? on the golf course?"
Or, you know, that someone has a car this or more...
There is always Mad Magazine too,
passed around it someone brings, you know
I was amazed at them because of Phil Spector, that...
I needed a few times to get used to,
You know, along with people , you know.
Any memories of Be My Baby the first time you heard it?
Oh, I pulled my car to the side of the road ,
said, "Am I? Listen here," You know?
I can't believe it.
I'm just straight away Don't worry about babies
after I hear that Yes.
I very inspired. I can't believe it.
When we get it to the Deep River - Gunung Tinggi,
we all think it will happen giant hit.
That is another thing the wall hits the sound,
but falls.
That is a big blow in England, but in the United States,
it's the first downer.
And it feels like, "Alright, the style that goes then.
Sound wall It's over at that time. "
One of the boys. One of the boys.
One of them, huh.
If sexual harassment is suitable being there, he will be there
- seven millionaires at the moment,
after what we put him through.
He will have all the lawyers work to... Fight us.
I don't think anyone ever really felt
that she was a woman, and I did not mean harm.
- No, we are musicians. - Yeah. </ P>
Everything is music... Music, really. </ P>
- Yeah. - Worse than that
will become... turn it off
and don't share friendship. </ P>
(Theme songs that aren't possible) </ p >
And this is the only I have to really mute the palm
to remove the treble.
So you can hear it. Yes.
Anyway, that's what I did, huh.
And that's Earl Palmer on that one drum.
I heard music as a child
because of my mother professional piano player
She played behind from the silent film house.
And my father trombone player
He plays the Dixieland band, things like that.
So I hear music all the time.
If they don't fight, they play music,
so you know... you know where did it come from
My mom and I stayed < br /> in this housing project
But my mother saved her money
and there was a steel guitar salesmen who came here
And about three or four lessons for ten dollars,
so he chose it and it was around 1:00 p.m.
About that time, I started playing gigs on the guitar.
And a little Latin.
So that's a lot from great experience, you know...
such items, heavy-duty jazz.
And that's fun, and I'm playing
a lot in black clubs.
And it's very acceptable too, anyway.
I'm has made a name for myself.
There are many women around who play jazz
and are in their own pop band,
so it's unusual.
But most women Back in those days, in the 50s,
will play until they get married.
It's more important to have "Mistress" in front of your name
than having a career.
Then the opportunity comes to do studio work
at the end of 1957 for Sam Cooke.
And I have never heard of it from Sam Cooke,
but they were short guitar player
Once I did it my first date with Sam Cooke,
I have more money in work three hours than I
in a full week of work from my work
Unless they have more than two dates a week. </ P>
They want our particular group of people
to cut the hit record, because we succeeded in that thing.
Ray Pohlman has a good voice.
He is the first electric bass player
to play hits from around & apos; 57 on
I will say that he might do it. 85% of the hit record
But Ray Pohlman must do it music conductor
for the Shindig show around the same time
I accidentally rode the bass, so there was a big hole there.
People asked me throughout time about being a woman
in the world of men.
I feel the same with the rest of the people,
and they also feel it .
Sometimes they succeed a little testis
They will say, "Oh, you play good for girls, Carol."
"Yeah, you play good for men too
I like musicians and humor
and the way they play. And they all know that.
And I think it's like a sister...
Having a sister there.
I have two children and my mother to support it at that time.
We will do it three, four dates a day,
and I managed to go home to have dinner with the children.
That's the only what I regret, is that I don't
Spend more time with children.
But that's right very well taken care of, </ p >
and they have a good life, you know.
Mostly... most of the time, they are fine
You know, after seeing in my father's job log,
I am aware of he is not there
as I thought he was. </ P>
But when he is home, the focus is on his family. </ P>
He is one of the few studio people
who found balance between hours crazy work
and maintain a decent home life.
The truth is, I don't know how he did it.
Time is money, and you won't last long
in any studio < br /> If you can't follow.
Studio musician in this city
really looks up and is respected.
We are treated like...
"Our lives depend on you."
Alright, that's right real session players
They are the people who went from gig to show,
you know, playing on all good music.
Gosh, there so many things continue
and we are so busy
I mean, we will go from one to another to another.
We used to call go from session to session
"dovetailing."
Jesus, when you left home
at 7:00 a.m.,
and you were at Universal at 9:00 a.m. until noon.
Now you're on Capitol Records at 1:00,
You just got there,
and then you got the jingle at 4:00 ,
and then we date with someone at 8:00 a.m.,
and then The Beach Boys in the middle of the night,
and you do that five days a week...
Gosh, bro, you burned down.
At one time, we did an album
in a day, for Liberty Records.
Five, six consecutive weeks, we will do albums a day...
Six songs in the morning and six songs at night.
When everyone is aware of
we did most of the date, said,
"We will get a scale, or you will get someone else."
And of course just not,
That's why the rhythmic part is the most
I believe I've played with.
I don't want to enter the studio </ p >
if I don't have Tommy Tedesco, Hal Blaine,
people from that nature.
I don't want to go to the studio until they're not busy
But they're busy all the time.
It's not a producer problem where I work with,
is it Lee Hazlewood or Snuff Garrett,
they are all used up already the same musicians
They are all just the best.
If they can't get people , they don't order dates
They will wait until those people are available
What is remarkable
Of course, their wives never saw them
I don't know how those people can work again,
unless they don't sleep at all.
If you want to succeed in this business,
You never said no until you were too busy to say yes.
And I learned that by watching guys
who speaks for himself out of career
saying, "No, that's not good enough.
I'll wait until that's how and so and so. "
Because if you wait at home To have the phone ring, it won't.
If you are a freelance musician,
You can't reject anything,
because there is someone standing right behind you
who spit out to do this work
One day, I got a call from Ernie Freeman.
That, like, 8:00 a.m.
"Hi, Tom, I need guitar players here at United.
How long will it take you? to get there? "
I said," 20 minutes, " which, you know,
is a lie It will take an hour.
But once I succeeded My commitment, they have
- to wait for me, right? - Right. </ P>
When I went up there, I dated me, and he liked it. </ P>
And then he told me, " You will not believe
kata Bill Pitman.
"I called the bill and asked him,
& apos; Can you go down? I'm stuck.
How much longer? & apos; And Bill say,
& apos; Well, I'm having breakfast. I have to finish
about 45 minutes, and I'll be there in an hour. & apos; "
And if anyone ever Bill Pitman thought out,
that was Bill Pitman... Live straight, not think. </ p >
And I'm the opposite, like, "What will work now?"
Now it's time to take the other one
from what might happen hit another smash
in the amazing world from Sonny and Cher.
Sonny himself wrote most of the songs
he and Cher notes
Musicians often work with partners,
and they are very good reader sight
Today they are recording some songs
that will be part of from the album called
Extraordinary world from Sonny & Cher,
second album they made it together
Now they're ready to record
Engineers are set...
and they call, "Take one."
Have you been intimidated by by people?
No, I'm too stupid to know.
Well, I'm a little shy from everyone
First of all, that's right much older than me too
I mean, the first time... The session I went to,
I'm 16 years old, and I'm not...
I've never done it in a recording studio.
You know, I just didn't want to step
where I didn't I should step,
which I thought was everywhere. </ p >
And they all know each other, they are really relaxed
I mean, everything that's good for me
I really don't think I know for a long time
How great they are.
And then, when will I meet other players
who will ask me, you know, am I...
Have I been in one session? with one of these people?
There is a lot of honesty in that note
and that's why many of them are hits. </ P>
When I think of the music, I think I 13 years old
trying to learn how to play music
Every time I play. You know,
Everything they hit was on...
Marketts, Routers, all they are solo Then,
I said, "How do children play this,
That's so stupid, that don't know what he did ,
and playing that? " I did that crap,
didn't know what I was doing, bent down the note,
don't care, don't... Terrible, out of tune
- Yeah. - What is this song?
- Beatles? Cockroaches ? - Some young groups.
- I don't know - cockroaches
I don't know they kind of name it.
Well, my personal feelings about music
is that it's all beautiful
and I'm making millions of dollars...
period.
I don't care about if Tommy likes it or not.
I didn't make it for him.
Like the artist.
Cher said he didn't like it
Well, I didn't succeed for him too
I made it for people to buy,
not for Cher to listen.
He never listened to to Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves
or other notes I made with him... again.
It's a Diamond Ring. </ P>
We cut that note, and I said,
"Oh, God, I hate this crap." </ P>
Two weeks later, That's number ten or something.
So I have to give it to Snuff with conditions
some kind of pop awareness.
He has it, but it turns out it's not exactly my cup of tea
The music we cut in the 60s,
nobody thought it would happen last , like, the last ten years.
In fact, Bill Pitman says...
We are doing the date of chugga-chugga-chugga,
He said, "Can you see children
dance with their wife 20 years from now,
say, & apos; dear, they are playing our song & apos; ""
I remember going home go home from one one day session,
and that's just one from the three chord session.
And when you sit there playing rhythm guitar,
There's not much you can do.
You just do it, get your money and go home
And I remember go home, and I'm not in a good mood.
I said to my wife, "I was able to do this when I was 14 years old."
And he said, "Yeah, but not really."
I don't care for that much rock and roll.
I am basically a jazz drummer.
But I realize I really am make my life out of it
If I will continue to do it,
I have to play it like that my favorite music.
That's not professionalism for me. </ P>
It's not under you if it supports you
If it's under you, don't play it
I really enjoyed it,
because when I heard the notes on the radio,
I realized, really, outside voice ordinary
that group of people.
Will get to Capitol Records
- up here - Oh, right
God, street so friggin & apos; torn ,
that's amazing
Here comes we used to do everything,
you know, Glen Campbell Notes
and Ray Anthony and everyone, man
Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole.
We do everyone in the stomach.
It's amazing
As soon as we get in the studio
and we find that makes a lot of money,
It feels like, "Hey, man, we don't have to go on the road. </ P>
We can stay home with our children," you know. </ P>
Unfortunately, I'm not.
I passed six wives.
Yes, but that's because your personality...
is not your game
No, I have two big marriages, and both are falling apart
because I am in the studio too much.
I think This is a very difficult balance.
Yes, it's difficult.
When I get out of the army, I take me GI bill,
going to Chicago, going to a percussion agency
I went to school from around 8:00 a.m.
until 4:00 noon. And Then I play the strip club
from around 8:00 at night 4:00 in the morning,
that's pretty wild
But it's good looking at reading training
You get all these new women come and dance,
throwing this music at you,
and you must, you know, read it immediately
It's a great exercise to calm you and play,
because to this day, I can sit down,
You can throw any music in front of me,
and I will... you know, maybe that
the hardest thing in the world, but I will be right really relaxed.
Nobody knows it inside, I say,
"Holy cow, this Really something."
So there are lots of great basic training underway
While I was there, really preparing me
for the studio
I ended up in "the" nightclub in Hollywood,
where all the movie stars relax.
There is a manager, call me more than one night,
and he said, "Listen, I have a small child
who will be signed by Capital Records fast enough,
and we need a drummer "
This child's name is Tommy Sands, a wonderful young man,
being the main teen idol, and we go on the road.
But at that moment that I was with Tommy
that I had to work with people like The Diamonds,
the right ones - right hot in those days Plates
This is a show that I'm playing.
Great experience And now I learned rock and roll,
which is still dirty said for most musicians.
When I go back to LA,
there is a man with the name HB Barnum
And HB started using me, Carol Kaye on bass,
and Glen Campbell on guitar.
There are many of us that some kind of musician demo,
but we play rock and roll.
Usually, every man who sits goes down in one of these sessions
in the group is a great musician:
learning, practicing, teaching well, loving what they do
Everyone wants us. </ p >
Do you remember when my father? was working on the album Jobim?
Oh yes.
And all the teams "A" entered
And at the end of the session, we did S omethin & apos; Stupid. </ P>
And the "A" team left, and our little "B" team entered,
Destructive Crew enter and sit down,
and we cut the number recorded.
And what most people are not aware of,
that belongs to our father number one first note
And we just walk there </ p >
and made our little hit.
- Father - sorry
I had to sing a little harder then.
- You have to sing... - You too, you sing
I do Somethin & apos; Stupid with Frank and Nancy Sinatra.
Dan it's a little lick that I play on the intro,
I've played it on recording other songs
by the person who wrote it, Carson Parks .
And Frank heard it and wanted it it was very licking intro.
Billy Strange is an arranger
and the guitar is me and Glen Campbell. </ P>
And Billy just wrote, like an El Paso style guitar
for intro So Glenn, of course,
plays something really good, But it turns out it's not
what's in the original note And Frank said,
"No, that's not it, not that Let's just try it..."
So Glenn tried something else
p>
and Frank isn't really happy with that
Because it doesn't sound like we heard
So finally, after a while, I said, "Glenn,
I don't want to force or anything,
but that's me in the original note
I know exactly what he wants. "</ P>
He said, " Well, then you play it. "</ P>
Then, we replace the parts in real terms /> fast and I play it
just to make sure everything is cool
One very fast start, then we will go
All right, the letter "A." </ p >
- That's right, alright. - Pretty good
Yes, that's the whole trick. Of note
Chuck Berghofer, who The star,
You know, the bass line became infam... actually,
it might be... simple Sounds like, that's possible </ p >
one of the hardest things bass players to do.
- Nobody can do it - They never do it right,
You know, or they made an effort for that
The engineer came out and said,
"Wow, I like that sound from your bass."
He said, "I'll go give your name to my friend."
And it turns out to be Jim Bowen
And finally I did some dating for Jim Bowen
Around the third date, I did it is B oots that are made to run.
And that puts me on a map.
I went from doing two dates in my life
for do three days.
Yes, if I'm not available that day,
I might sell insurance somewhere
That's "chunk-a-chunk-a-chunk," the rhythm sounds chunky
that's so... Lee used to call it "stupid". </ P>
He wants that stupid voice. </ P>
It really makes... Take notes,
and it's very difficult to catch, especially live
Lee doesn't want me to do songs
I kept saying, "I want to do it it's boots,
that's about the boots." And he said, "No,
This is not a girl's song. I said,
"Well, of course not a man's song. "
He used to sing it alive in his appearance.
And I said," It's wrong for a man to sing it.
It's rude and rude,
but it's perfect for A little girl singing. "
Feelings of live sessions unlike the others
because you will hear them again right away, and that's it.
And that's magic or it's not magic.
And I will never forget, when I go to Las Vegas,
in the tent, it says, "Nancy Sinatra
With Hal Blaine On Drums. " This big tent
all things, at Caesars Palace.
Now, he is making like $ 2,500 a week. </ p >
Now, by Irv Cottler with Frank, the father,
- he made $ 750 a week.
- And I... - Who says life is fair? </ P>
Oh, my God is in hell... And then, suddenly,
This is "Hal Blaine". And I just laughed. </ P>
"Hal Blaine" the whole Emperor's tent. </ P>
- very good - What show
You have to get it whenever you can. </ P>
I didn't realize it until later,
But New Orleans is a big city for a musician to grow up
My sister and I are 12 and 13,
and we already have the show on Mardi Gras floating.
Not a show, one show.
My mother is a singer and a pianist.
And the city went berserk soldiers, sailors, and marines
came through there to get sent to World War II.
Dan clubs in the French Quarter,
They make a lot of money
and they employ lots of bands.
My mom has a job in the afternoon
playing and singing a matinee,
and my father has a night show.
And I think that's the first time inside their lives
I go to black Catholic High School,
and all public schools are separated.
I can't wait to leave.
My sister and I immediately set up a band,
you know. He plays the piano.
He mostly plays blues and boogie and...
We want to play to be bop, but really,
no one wants to hear it
People always tell me How great I am and, you know,
"The child really goes to the place," and...
Of course I believe that.
In 1954, my sister and I moved to Los Angeles
and continued to starve around the city for about two years,
make all jam sessions.
That's what you do when you're new to town
And it's fast or slow makes you work
because of the band leader Come to the jam session
look for horn players or rhythm players.
And that's where they found them, on jam sessions.
The rock and roll thing became very big,
and they needed the type of horn I play
So that's the way in the right place
at the right time.
Especially when I get it on the Merv Griffin Show,
that starts at 3:00 pm.
Well, that's the time my children come home from school </ p >
And it ends at 8:30 a.m., and I will go home at 9:30.
Well, that's the time My children will sleep.
A few days, I didn't see my children.
I am a better grandfather than I am a father.
That's great.
Oh, that's amazing.
I remember shooting this.
I took it through a note, through 45.
All of this is yours Hey, that's good.
Yes.
The first band I had was just an experiment. </ P>
We opened the show for Dave Brubeck,
and people went crazy for... < br /> We, you know, half an hour,
no matter how long we play. And I remember coming offstage,
and Paul Desmond... Standing on the side. </ P>
And as I passed by, he scratched his head,
and said, "I don't know what I just Listen,
but I think I like it. "
That is the first gesture I have
maybe that's right to something
A jazz musician likes it... or likes it
The first date I ever did it for Herb Alpert,
Shorty Rogers called me and said,
"Bill, will you help me?"
He said, "There is a man, He is my friend."
He said, "He is a trumpet player and he has no money.
Will you do it as an aid for me? "
I said," Sure, I'll do it. "
Herb gave each of us 15 dollars. That is a porous date.
- Oh, well, most of them... - Right, yes
The first time we start Long ago, you know
Right That is $ 15. - Two for a quarter
- Yes, two for 25.
And that's the Lonely Bull.
That was the first big hit Herb Alpert had done it.
That was huge!
He became a millionaire on that one note. </ p >
And you know what he is doing? He goes to the union,
says what he did, pays the union well,
and then the check has been sent for all musicians to scale,
that's what they should do to get and not.
Moment signature in A Taste of Honey
is when the bass drum taps four to the floor.
We have no way to go back to time
Without, you know, a calculation. And Hal, you know, said,
"Let me hit the drum, bass drum
All people will know when to enter
Larry Levine thinks... Engineer,
that we have to save it, and that's, you know,
one of the things people < br /> remember about note
And that becomes a kind of trademark from TJBS
That's all because
this professional musician no can enter together
I met Julius in high school.
We started playing songs and he took solos,
and I thought, "Wow, man,
This person sounds like Lionel Hampton. "
He wrote Flea Spanish,
even though his first title was" Spanish Fly, "
and I said," I... I don't know, I'm not sure...
I'm not sure that title will successful
You know, when The TJB became famous
and he must make a group to go on the road,
No studio musicians will do it
because they are too busy </ p >
We did 13 albums, and this is something
that bothered me for the rest of my life, my entire career
We will return to town, < br /> and I'll call
People like Lou and Hal. And people on the road...
Yeah, really upset.
They were a little offended that they were not used,
but you know, recording of musicians had
certain sounds that important to get it
No matter what form your stomach goes in,
when it comes out of shape, take Alka-Seltzer.
I see ads, and I think it's devastating.
and I said, "Which instrumental group do we have here?"
And he said, "Alright a name called T-Bones." </ p >
And I said, "Alright." So I got Tommy Tedesco
and boys, In the studio we went,
and we don't do any form. "
And that's the number one this year.
T-Bones!
()
What's the name them, "Willy Vanelli"
- or what the hell is that? - Milli...
- They don't have anything for us... - Right
Right? We do it all the time.
I want The Marketts to be like a work group.
And, you know, does public know that isn't so,
it will be like a "Mini Vanilla" or whatever.
I think it's a bit different when you are a
horn player and you are asked to play the introduction
- and play the first choir... - I can understand that
And play solo first, and then turn fade at the end.
And the damn thing comes and it doesn't have your name on it
Surfer's s Stomp... Plas Johnson is the main saxophone,
and I said, "Plas, how do you call it Plas Johnson?"
And he said, "no," he said,
"I don't want to be associated with with that type of music." </ P>
I mean, he's a lot better player than that,
but it's a hit and so we just call The Marketts.
Then I started calling.
So, songwriter, who co-wrote S urfer's Stomp with me
called Mike Gordon, he has a group together,
go on the road
Worse than not getting money,
is to have... to play on hits records sold
one million copies, and not even have your name on them
And they dig some white kids get out of high school
and put them on the road and call their names
And it's easy enough for manufacturers
and companies to hire us read this music
And play all this, in three hours
and get out of that studio in three hours
rather than have it come and spend three weeks doing it
We will add or change the total group.
We do a new group, say Association, for example.
None of them play < br /> in notes.
We changed all groups.
Well, these are the people played on Windy
and never my love and Everything That Touches You.
And all that happened on those two albums
I did with them, it all the studio musicians.
This is Al, Joe, Larry, Tommy and... And those people.
I want to name them on the back of the album
after it's finished and they don't allow me
because they say, "Alright, we don't want kids out there
who bought our records to find out we didn't do it
playing on the record. "
I came out and took Brian a place with The Beach Boys.
And I can understand that Maybe why Brian has a studio
People enter, because they will do it fight like cats and dogs, man. </ P>
Instead of Brian having to pass it hassle to get a track,
he will rent the rhythm section to enter and do the track.
One of them... Initially they were a little jealous,
You know what I mean ? But I explained to them, I said,
"You know, I want to get it The best I can get for this group. "
And they went," Okay, I can understand what you mean, Brian, "
You know. So we go ahead and do it,
and of course, People like it.
I mean, that's one the most questions asked,
"Well, is Dennis not angry, isn't he angry?
because you did Beach Boys Note ? "
Dennis doesn't have a studio the meat we have, you know
The proof is pudding is it Dennis
calling me to do the album when Dennis did his solo album.
I played the drum for that.
Often those people want to sit around the studio, </ p >
we don't know they are people in the band
The guitar player In various groups,
when they realize people like < br /> Tommy Tedesco
Will be played, they want to sit around and watch.
And the drummer definitely wants to sit around
and see myself or Al
They are there, like, more or more they lack learning.
You know, that will be something I want to see too
if it's vice versa.
Terry Melcher wants to use it musician session
for Mr. Tambourine Man.
I was a studio musician in New York,
before being at The Byrds, so...
they let me play on it </ p >
So my feeling is, "Good, I can play
with this great band, Broken Crew."
Of course, people another, David Crosby,
Michael Clark and Chris Hellman, very angry.
They hate that idea because
they can't play on their own records
We got the number one hit with it, right off the bat
But we tapped two tracks in one three-hour session.
from this band have to play, We need 77
which also number one.
People think it's fair because my father earns a living
playing guitar, I can also play.
For me, and some other children's studio musicians,
we don't take it as a profession.
What my father taught us is common sense .
I was called many years ago.
I appeared on this date and now there are 70 musicians
sitting there And I see
and I say, "70 musicians? Wow. Where do I sit?"
And they say, "There. There's a guitar." <
You know, I sit there and I see a section.
The only problem is starting from bar 95, you know, </ p >
and the rest, rest.
Now that person starts, right.
And you know what this is for me at that time.
It's at the nightclub, you know, you see girls,
"Hey, here it is. Hey, hey..."
When he does this and there There is no music, I say,
"Oh-oh, they're on bar 95, I know that." </ P>
" Guitar, where is the guitar? " " Here. "</ P>
" We're on number 95, I don't hear you. "</ P>
" Oh, okay, "you know.
- One two three four,
"Okay, forget it. Let's go from 96.
And they have someone in. The next day to do it. "
Elvis Presley returned there A few years
and I started to get hot in notes, and Elvis
start using me when he comes to the beach for a movie
So no one tells Elvis who to use.
Until that day I never knew whether they /> I know I'm the same person. </ P>
But I won't tell them, "Remember me? </ P>
About three years..." Oh, no, no, no. </ P>
You see, one thing I have, common sense
I learn more common sense than me guitar.
In the 60s, Broken crew was played
on thousands of recordings,
but you will never be already know that
Producers made a big mistake when they didn't put
credit behind from the album
of all those who have played on the album
They not only deserve it, but I think it is misleading.
Maybe one of the reasons they left the names
the same musician played there a lot of people's notes
it's definitely a embarrassed if there are people
ever put it in.
I'm used to it because when a man hires me
with the last $ 25 and he has a bomb,
I never gave him hers money back, you know
So I really treat it as a business
and I understand how you feel too But I just feel,
"Just give me my money and I'm lost."
Snuffy always let myself and The Playboys
lay down all the basic tracks.
Then Snuff said, "Now we will sweeten it,
do some overdub and stuff, and I will bring in
the person I want to use. "
And I have no experience in this matter, and Snuffy has.
So I said, "Okay.
If you think that's the way do it, let's do it.
Si drummer comes in, but Snuffy let him, you know,
plays a kind of percussion like tambourine
jadi bisa dikatakan, "Gary Lewis dan The Playboys."
But that's really studio guy who made the track.
And I remember my guitar our players and keyboard players,
after hearing the session musicians come in
and put down the parts, you know, they say,
"Oh, my God, I will never be able to doing something like that. "
I will never forget to work with Gary Lewis and The Playboys
- doing all the recordings - Oh yeah.
And I will never forget it one real, real hot lick
on this one note... Spanish goods everywhere.
And finally, the guitar player Come to me, he said,
"You drive me crazy with that
First of all, I'm not can play it, so I don't play it
And then, everyone comes to I praise me
about what I did to that thing. "
I said," Okay, just take praise and just forget about it. "
So, while my guitar player is played much simpler
that version, because it doesn't exist can play it
That in goods.
I think the wider community is not aware of the fact
that there is a secret star the engine maker,
that component which is very important. From these teams,
like hitmen, hitmen studio.
Nobody cares.
All they want is the product.
They only want the name and sales.
Who created it? Psh.
That was the case.
Tell him your story, Hal, about The Monkees.
Because the newspaper entered to talk to them
and we are in the next studio < br /> cut their stuff
And then they pretend that they did it
is in the studio.
- You just said it. - tell me the story
Well, you told it. Do you understand?
I never thought of myself Musician.
I... You know, because I am a musician is someone
who does the work session, who appears and reads the graph.
And I always approach The Monkees as an actor,
play the role of drummer In this imaginary group,
who live in this fantasy Beach house
For me, it's always... always what's that about.
Peter tells his story goes to some
from the initial session And he walked with his guitar
and his bass, and they said, "What are you doing here?" </ P>
"We're done < br /> line. Micky will sing. "
" So, what...? You invited me for the recording session. "
He said "Yes." I said, "Well, how are you?" </ P>
He said, "We have a note, we just need to put vocals on it. "
They said," Just go home. Relax. "
One two three four.
- Mikey, you like it? - You like it? </ P>
That's bad. That's the worst thing...
I don't know who these people are in this initial session.
That was my first session.
And I was introduced to them, "These are musicians." </ P>
I am the vocalist. </ P>
I remember Hal Blaine giving me some instructions
But I don't have to play at that time
They said, "You will start drum lessons on Monday."
And I did it. And I have time around one year.
So when I have to do it really play on stage, live,
I'm not that bad.
I mean, I just have to play our song, obviously,
and they are quite simple pop songs
Things and Earl do this with one hand in their sleep.
Fans, they don't know or care, and I like,
"What's the deal? This is a television show
you know. What's the problem? "</ P>
But you know, back then, and even today,
many people took them rock and roll is very serious
and, you know... And that, you know,
rock and roll is not laughing.
You it shouldn't be for fun, you know
Now it makes sense to me.
I'll do it right the same way.
Uh, but, uh, right then it doesn't make sense to me
I think that... I mean, I am very naive.
I consider how angry I am as a my naive function
and playing guitar, and doing things,
and singing background vocals, and all the rest.
I don't know they have just left
and made a track without us.
that The Monkees didn't play their own instruments initially,
because all people know it's a common practice.
I see them in everyone trial.
I remember at RCA Victor going for The Mamas and Papas,
And then, he will come and do one of our sessions.
And then go to do Other people, I guess. <
I know they played almost all the records of The Beach Boys.
will come clean
Barry McGuire has found this song that called California Dreamin & apos;
that he wants to record.
And fourthly, kind of looks messy,
two guys and two girls come to the studio
because Barry wants it they sing
the background part of the note.
And he said to Lou, "They are a great vocal group.
You have to hear them sing . "
John Phillips wrote this song, California Dreamin & apos;.
So when the band was ten years old, Lou and I walked down the aisle
to studio two, with the four of them.
And John had a guitar and they sang California Dreamin & apos;.
Lou said, "What do you think?" </ P>
And I said, "If you don't take them , I will," You know. </ P>
After hearing their vocals... Their background vocals,
I think that should be their notes
When I started doing it Mamas and The Papas,
I put Joe Osborn in that group with Hal Blaine.
And that's when Hal, and Larry and I worked together
as a group for the first time.
I didn't too busy. At that time,
I wasn't busy as a studio player.
And things helped me to that area </ p >
The combination of that type What Joe brought to Hal Blaine,
and what Hal Blaine brought Joe Osborn is great.
In the case of < br /> Mami and Papas,
John Phillips will run the song Get down on the rhythm guitar.
At the same time, Hal will note, </ p >
Glen Campbell might be able to take notes.
And then we say, "Okay, let's run."
"Yeah, that's good, let's save it
That's not, can you try something else?
But they have a lot to do the settings.
Members of The Mamas and The Papas taught the song
for musicians
There are no settings or scores.
Musicians decide what they have to play
against vowels. A rhythm will run.
Producers present musicians with road maps.
It's just a chord symbol. And so far
when going Well, this musician
takes that information and, you Know, adds a little taste
For that's unexpected. Often,
You know, more than you expected.
People come and say, "Are you this?
" Well, I see your name on the album. "
" Then I do it. " You know, that's...
- Right - Because you work so much,
You don't know.
Studio players in 1999, they will...
If they don't play all time,
is practice.
All the time you practice, while being paid.
That's funny. Earl and I speak once
It's like, you can't judge anyone by how much
they're working everyone is working
all the time.
You have to just go by how much work you refuse.
Most of us are very lucky entered
at the beginning of the original rock and roll
Fuck, I said, I made more < br /> money playing rock and roll
than I ever played jazz.
There is one thing in the mid 60's
I made more a lot of money than money president of the United States.
I remember being an ordinary kid Carol. I would say,
"You realize, Carol , if I'm divorced and you...
We can get married and How many years do we have money.
Between all your money and money me,
- we will kill everyone. "
Included with each other.
This is where we do Sinatra,
Dean Martin,
Sammy Davis Jr.
We do everyone there.
It's just an amazing place.
In my special case,
I bought an extraordinary house Hollywood
I have a magnificent cruise ship.
I have a beautiful Rolls Royce.
But from nowhere, I have a sudden wife
states, "I want to get a divorce."
"What are you talking about? about?
I just went for sandwiches and... "
This, like, is impossible believe it.
And for it to get paid off, </ p >
You sell everything you have.
I have 170-something gold note
I have to sell everything.
That house sold for one third of of what it's worth
I have to let the cruise ship go. The cruise ship was taken over.
I have never had anything taken over in my life
Too bad < br /> delete it seriously.
I've worked with John Denver,
almost 5 thousand a week for almost ten years,
and suddenly, the job ends
Terrible, terrible must go through.
I mean, this... You certainly only,
in the world of suicide,
You must think about it.
I work in Scottsdale, Arizona,
and I am a security guard,
plain and simple
This I go from... all this money
and this magnificent plantation and everything involved,
and suddenly I am reduced to
living in the wardrobe.
Coming from around 23 rooms Hollywood
And it feels like that the end of the world.
This is Gold Star. </ P>
So that's how it is. This is what's left
And that's an amazing time,
and that's how a historic place
They have plenty of time first people hit big
come and make them notes
Across the street, we take note Captain & Tennille
Doing Love Will Maintain Us Together.
Wow, they have number one,
This is a note this year that year.
That was my last record this year.
In LA, I've heard that picked up again...
You know & apos; 82, & apos; 83, something like that.
And then I too get some calls,
and suddenly, I work again.
One of the interesting ones is when I was appointed
to Rock and Roll Fame.
So in 2000,
I and Earl Palmer both were installed
You know, Earl is just... I can't thank him enough.
Earl recommended me at first,
it made a name for myself. It's really that simple.
You know, I always say...
If you like your job, < br /> it doesn't work,
you know? We love our work, man.
That's how we can work day and night,
Because we like it.
I will never forget a session
We're all doing with Don Costa.
And I started playing rhythm and he stopped and he said,
"Glen, you are the lead there. "
And, kid, I said...
I said," Mr. Costa, I can't read the notes. "
He said, "Okay, you know that melody, right?"
And I said, "Yeah." He said, "Alright, just...
It's a melody. " I said," Oh, okay, good. "
He will ask Tedesco, " How did the figure go?
- or this number goes, "You know? - Right, exactly
And then he'll sit there and work on the results
And we will take notes. and that is always perfect.
Yes. Well, he has something he offers
they want
Beautiful and beautiful ears facilities on instrument
Glen came up with a great idea,
and his solo is just super.
And suddenly, he is a singing star
Well, he can always sing. We used to cheat him,
"Oh, he stood up and sang now,
he'll be a big star " But he became a big star.
Good night, women and men.
I am Glen Campbell.
I mix , actually, first note
That record he made for the Capitol...
I mixed up the tape.
Dan it's like really surprise to see it enter
and say, "I am singing In this note, I will..."
you know...
And the note is a hit
and his vocal career was launched.
And when he came out and became a singing star,
guess who he was calling to support it?
- That's right, yes - We are all there for him
I remember Tedesco playing in...
I forgot what it was
He said, "You're still talking for us peons?
I said," Alright, some of them. "
But it feels great people do sessions.
I know who all are good the player
Play Wichita Lineman, it has a chord for that .
I don't think there is a section written.
You know. He said, "How about this to kickoff
in Wichita Lineman?" He came with that.
Glen Campbell is a heck from a guitar player,
and I have this Dano bass guitar
who has a special pickup and a bridge and strings on it
and it's really great gutty sound
And he took it and did solo on it.
Very good.
I heard W ichita Lineman at a one-time pharmacy
and it only brought tears to my eyes,
Because the song means a lot to me
I did all that beginning Glen Campbell's goods,
all of that... to the South of the Night,
When he changed the producer and I didn't do it again.
Glen is currently trying... Recording... using his own band.
I sat at Martoni's house One night in Hollywood,
and Steve Turner, his drummer, went inside.
And he said, "You won't believe what just happened.
" What ? " And he said," I just came
from the session with Glen, and we tried to get this child
to play some decent < guitar rhythm. "
Glen said," Okay, give it to me big, full of Al Casey's voice. "
I said," Does he know that? I'm available tonight? "
you know. But I understand
he tried to use his own band
But when things like that starts happening,
that... that's a sign.
I think a lot of what we feel this might last forever.
And rightly so first big surprise
for many of us who have setback in our careers
and realize that, "Hey, this is an up-down...
up-down thing.
Sports figures seem to have a ten-year period
when everything happens for them. </ P>
So what do you get do you get the way, </ p >
You get ten great years, and you get the way down.
And the trick is to make downhill
last for You might be able to. </ P>
Who will hire me At my age,
to be in the rock group? </ P>
They didn't do that again,
because now rock guys are doing their work
And writing, what they always do,
but they are able to to do
As Dylan said, "Kali, they change."
it just changed
New game. A new way to do it. </ P>
I don't think that a conscious decision
That, you know, this musician play in a certain way
and now we are better getting more contemporary
In my case, it must be done with the artist
or who the artist took them
In the case of Carole King,
He brought parts of rhythm with him.
He brought James Taylor on the guitar
I think the band learned to play
That is more important so that the public knows
that the bands really play music
You have this group the appeared
in the late 60s and into the 70s...
Buffalo Springfield became Crosby, Stills & Nash.
And this is all independent groups,
most of them, never use studio musicians
And those things become big. </ P>
And that's where the album artist gets really big
Well, that has a very big effect and...
You know, singer / writer the song action
is very important for people.
They started wanting a band who played their own items.
That's right really influential in the musician session.
I was a little left out at that time.
We all go into it
Knowing that can stop every second.
It was never meant to survive.
I'm like this magic bubble
it's just kind of...
developing for the second...
hanging there in the air...
Things played on seven records of the year in a row.
Seven in a row...
and then bubble... poof. Pops.
This is a new person. This is a new regime. </ P>
We entered at a certain time, When we are all new. </ P>
All new people enter now,
when they are new... Young, excited,
playing sounds today Simple
Like the date note with Destructive crew is reduced,
My father is another lucky musician
Flexibility, combined with its ability
to read music in seconds, causing thousands of recordings
on film and television.
He worked with some of the greatest composers
in American music:
John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith,
Henry Mancini, Bill Conti,
James Horner, Burt Bacharach,
Lalo Schifrin, just to name a few.
In the 70s, my father started playing
for your own pleasure.
This is the first time I remember seeing it at home
with a guitar.
He take part in the seminar
and that's exactly what enjoy
He flew around the country.
And he arranged the seminar on weekend
so that he can be at home during this week...
in case there is any call
Let me give what I call
"creative studio guitar player".
About a year ago,
I got a phone call to do John Denver specifically.
That is John Denver in Mexico,
and they want some... He is on a fishing boat
and they want Mexican people music , so I gave them this:
There is a call to do Charlie's s Angels.
They're in Puerto Rico. They want Puerto Rican music ,
Starsky & Hutch in a big rebellion
in Bolivia in one show.
They want Bolivian music.
In 1975, my father joked, wrote a song titled
Requiem For Studio Guitar Player.
Always looking to be brought /> a joke a little further,
and continue with The Gong Show.
You have to think about it what he said
in the lyrics of the song.
Don't think of the costume too much...
because it tells a lot about the way the business is
in this city it works </ p >
And to be personal with a sense of humor,
I think Tommy have to survive with
Many things are really stupid.
Not until I was tracked this musician went down
to tell their story
which I fully understood Frank Zappa's words.
In 1992, my father had a stroke
Two months before my father passed away,
He said to me, "You know, strokes come
at the right time in my life. "
I know exactly what it means.
The phone stops ringing,
and the day as the king of the Los Angeles session
has ended.
Now he has a reason why the phone doesn't ring.
That is something he doesn't have control over </ p >
If I learn something from my father,
it is to give more than you take
He loves his family and friends
and will always help younger guitar players,
Know that only time problems
that they are soon will replace it,
Just like he took someone else's seat 40 years before.
(Mellow guitar chords)
Right on!
(Music Mariachi)
It's time we've been waiting. </ P>
With 30 points, today's winner is...
Hot Dogs !
Tommy Tedesco!
What are you calling trombone player
with a pager?
An optimist
