We all know the 1960's and 1970's was a rich time for music. Some amazing and groundbreaking groups and artists gave us such a varied and brilliant body of work that is has changed music forever. But there was another "golden age" too! The session musicians, the people behind the hits were experiencing a very creative and prosperous period and was just as significant. One of those legendary session men is Don Randi. Don was one of the members of the legendary "Wrecking Crew," a group of session musicians that played on almost all of the hits we know from the 1960's. We talk to Don about what it was like to be an A-list session musician at that time. We will also find out how Don balanced all those sessions and still being able to tour with the Sinatras and others. Don has written a book about his experiences, called "You've Heard These Hands," and we will talk to Don about working with the Beach Boys, Phil Spector, The Sinatras, and the incredible guitarists on those sessions! So get ready for some great stories, behind the scenes, from the road and in the studio!!
