Chris Hillman's starfire

Man I just eat this stuff up. Thanks John!
And I forgot about ?"Turn Turn Turn", that's got "that sound" too...even though technically all my guesess are still "unconfirmed".
Just noticed he was co-writer on "Rock'n'Roll" star though. :wink:

Well, I think he's referring to the album, not the single.

Oh yeah, he says "second album," I caught that.

My understanding is that Larry Knetchel (who later was the keyboards for Bread) played bass on both "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Turn, Turn, Turn". Not entirely sure about the later, but I do know that it's been confirmed (by McGuinn and Crosby) that except for McGuinn, none of The Byrds played on "Mr. Tambourine Man".

Well dang...but thanks for the rock history, (and the courtesy disclaimer about not being entirely sure about "Turn Turn Turn") anyway!
How come Wikipedia doesn't know this stuff? :lol: (No answer neccessary) :wink:

Those two songs were produced by Terry Melcher and played by members of the Wrecking Crew.

When I was consulting with Blair for the Dead Gear book, we came up with some evidence that suggests Phil had an SF before Jack did.

Well, it looks like this should be that bass:

Photo was apparently taken on August 13, 1967.

Need to add that piece of lore to the store. Personal interest is that it is a SF II with the straight bridge and no tone switch. I know such basses exist but they have been rare in the "for sale" listings I usually troll.

Thanks.
