Hey everyone,

I just watched The Wrecking Crew on Netflix streaming. That’s the documentary on the group of L.A. session musicians that included Tommy Tedesco, Carol Kaye, Leon Russell, and Glen Campbell (to name just a few) who played on many popular songs of the 1960s. It’s enlightening to see just how many songs they played on and how they influenced the music scene from “behind the curtain”. Here’s a WEB site that is dedicated to the film.

If you have a Netflix streaming account, you should be able to watch it tonight. I found it in the Documentaries category under the sub-category of Music & Concert Documentaries.

While you’re there, check out . . . .

Those are ones that I’ve already checked out and enjoyed.

Another one that looks good is Austin To Boston. I think I’ll check that one out this weekend.

Thanks so much for the recommendations Hydro. I'll defintiely be checking them out.

It's funny that you should mention Carol Kaye, my daughter introduced me to her (I wish!) a couple of weeks ago, sending me an email with the title "BRILLIANT musician!". I COMPLETELY agree. She's amazing. What's more amazing is I'd never heard of her before.

I enjoyed the Wrecking Crew.
