I know him pretty well, since '95, and the very first time we met (to have lunch at a restaurant), Elliot was talking about his contacting the Fender guitar people to see about doing a special guitar bearing his name. Then he said (paraphrasing somewhat): "You know, I think after Hendrix and Eric Clapton, I'm probably the most famous person ever to play a Strat". True story. >> Hey, he may be right if we make one slight change...He's the third most famous LEFT HANDED person to play a Strat, after Jimi and Dick Dale. <<<< But I think what we all wanna know is.....how did you REPLY?? >>> No, what *I* wanna know is...How did FENDER reply? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2002 00:13:38 EST From: NankerPhlg@aol.com Subject: Unwind With The Clock <<< You can still, to this day, stump know-it-alls when you ask who it was that played that solo, and the one on "Incense" as well. It was Ed King, later of Lynyrd Skynyrd. >>>>Sknoof Interestingly enough, just last night someone actually asked me that very question (or close enough...he said "What Southern Rock guitarist was in the Strawberry Alarm Clock?"). Did he stump me? Hell no. :> <<< And the long sustained note is only available on the lp version. Keyboard part is much more fluid also on the lp take.>>> Dr. M. Ah, I didn't know that. I just know the version on the comp CD that came out on One Way Records several years ago. Are the single and album versions totally different recordings, or just different mixes of the same recording? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2002 00:14:43 -0500 From: "cozmikdebris" Subject: Re: "You're My Guitar Hero !"

I knew I left a lot of killer solos off my short list of faves, but I can't BELIEVE I missed "Pushin' Too Hard", "Train Kept A-Rollin'" (Yardbirds), "Light Bulb Blues" and "I Wanna Be Your Man" (Stones), among others. Here's a few more to add to the list: "The Lung" - Dinosaur Jr. "On Tour" - The Chancellors (from BFTG #8) "Nothing Is True" - the Jim Carroll Band "Chasing the Night" - the Ramones "If Money Talks" - Jason & the Scorchers Tim __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2002 02:51:29 EST From: Dj45rpm@aol.com Subject: Re: "You're My Guitar Hero !"

My favorite offhand would have to be "Wanting You" from the REVOLUTION! album (1967). And as great as Drake Levin was, Freddy Weller from the later years was no slouch either. His country picking on the ALIAS PINK PUZZ and COLLAGE albums is almost on a par with the Byrds and Moby Grape.

It wasn't until two albums later that you can count on most or all of the "band" being session guys. But an awful lot of those guitars are Drake even after he "left" the band and his pictures aren't on the LP covers any more. He's all over "Revolution." On "Just Like Me", it's the band. It may or may not be Paul Revere on organ, though. And that dual guitar solo wasn't intended that way.....they recorded two solos, intending to use the best one, but it sonded so good when they listened to both together (especially the way they "meet up" in the last two bars) that they left it that way.
