The Wrecking Crew, Part 2, Hal Blaine

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback!    Dozens of excellent musicians, including several skilled percussionists, participated in Los Angeles area session recordings of Top 40 hits during the 1960's and 1970's.  That informal group of sidemen (and one sidewoman) were part of one of the most influential assemblages of session musicians ever pulled together in one room.  They are now referred to as The Wrecking Crew.  I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and today - in The Wrecking Crew, Part 2 -  I am going to discuss the contributions of one of those session drummers:  percussionist Hal Blaine.[We encourage everyone to check out Denny Tedesco's excellent documentary film, "The Wrecking Crew"!  https://www.wreckingcrewfilm.com/]We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.  The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John.  It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then. Multiple promo videos and photos for Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts are available on the following social media sites:https://www.youtube.com/@RockandRollFlashbackhttps://www.facebook.com/rockandrollflashbackpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/jumpinjohnmcdermott/Bill and John welcome your feedback and comments, and they can be emailed to [email protected] you for listening to Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts!Until next time...Rock On!
