The Wrecking Crew?

ROCKUMENTARY: OCTOBER 18, 1972

#9 – Hot Butter: “Popcorn”

Synthesizers used to be big enough to fill an entire room, but Robert Moog made them small enough to use on stage and in the studio. Every sound in this instrumental recording is synthetic.

Hot Butter: “Popcorn”

[Drumbo]

Many of them are the Wrecking Crew, yes, so that's a credit and a huge clue. Mamas and the Papas, First Edition, Beach Boys, Righteous Brothers, Jan & Dean, The Monkees, Nancy Sinatra and The Association are definitely The Crew. You are zeroing in pal. Which session man was on all of these recordings?

Missing Man Setting

"The Empty Chair"

By Captain Carroll "Lex" Lefon, USN (RET), on December 21st, 2004

"In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture. The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a gold linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is gold symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER."

#72 – Austin Roberts: “Something’s Wrong With Me”

He had a fine release, “Life is For Living” in 1971, that went nowhere. Now he got his one hit after a change of label.

“Which session man was on all of these recordings?”

Glen Campbell

[Drumbo]

Another great guess and Hal's on a bunch of them for sure, but you've got the wrong axe.

Gentle On My Mind - Glen Campbell

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

I saw Glen Campbell on “The Tonight Show” one night in the 70s or 80s. He did a guitar solo. I was blown away. At that time I had no idea that he was such a good/one of the best guitarists I had ever heard.

“DING-DING-DING! We have a winner!
You are one smart buckaroo Spel!”

Salsa isn’t my whole world. ;-)

[Publius]

I had lunch with John Hartford, the writer of that song, in 1971. I had met him earlier in 1967 when he was pushing his recording of that song for RCA. At lunch we talked about his investments in Southern California real estate.

A Genuine Friend
Oct 18, 2014

Read: 1 Samuel 20:32-42

Two are better than one. —Ecclesiastes 4:9

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 53-55; 2 Thessalonians 1

In the novel Shane, a friendship forms between Joe Starrett, a farmer on the American frontier, and Shane, a mysterious man who stops to rest at the Starrett home. The men first bond as they work together to remove a giant tree stump from Joe’s land. The relationship deepens as Joe rescues Shane from a fight and Shane helps Joe improve and guard his farmland. The men share a sense of mutual respect and loyalty that reflects what Scripture says: “Two are better than one . . . . If they fall, one will lift up his companion” (Eccl. 4:9-10).

Jonathan and David modeled this principle as well. Circumstances tested their friendship when David suspected that King Saul wanted him dead. Jonathan doubted this, but David believed it to be true (1 Sam. 20:2-3). Eventually, they decided David would hide in a field while Jonathan questioned his father about the matter. When Saul’s deadly intent became clear, the friends wept together and Jonathan blessed David as he fled (v.42).

You have a genuine friend in Jesus if you have accepted His offer of salvation—a friend who is always loyal; one who lifts you when you stumble. He has shown you the greatest love one friend can have for another—love that led Him to sacrifice His life for you (John 15:13).

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer! —Scriven

Jesus is your most trusted Friend.

Insight

Jonathan’s friendship with David was marked by brotherly affection, but it also displayed Jonathan’s self-sacrifice. The throne that would have been his destiny as the son of King Saul had already been given to David (1 Sam. 16:10-13).

#8 – Rick Nelson: “Garden Party”

After a decade off the charts, Rick came back with a country band. This song is about his return and the fact that his fans couldn’t handle the change in his sound.

#71 – The Stylistics: “I’m Stone in Love With You”

This was the first successful group after the Delfonics for producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, and it helped define the Philadelphia Sound of the Seventies.. This is one of their better entries. It’s beautifully produced.

Great story!
