It's funny.....you mention Peluso's (BRILLIANT) guitar work on that Carpenter's number......somehow reminded me
Y'all just go download/listen to the original, full version of Three Dog Night's "Never Been to Spain"....and just savor one of the prettiest guitar solos ever recorded. The name of the guitarist escapes me at this moment (I had researched it a while back to find out just WHO did this)......but it is truly a remarkable piece of work.
