Here’s a photo from July 6, 1965 in Studio A at the Capitol Records Tower. I’m wearing an outfit that I designed and made, a 2-piece Pink Polka Dot bell bottom pants and top. Pictured, from extreme left: Al DeLory on organ; me; Tommy Tedesco, guitar; Billy Strange, guitar; Don Randi, keyboard; mystery man, bass. Anyone know who the mystery man is? **Thank you, Cliff Adams for recognizing the great Bill Pitman on bass.
This session included the following recordings: Smokey Joe’s (released 11/65), That’s The Boy (finally released as part of a compilation in 2009) and four other unreleased tracks, all produced by Steve Douglas. Arrangers for the session were Billy Strange and the legendary Jack Nitzsche.

Oh Wow ! Donna !!
Those are the coolest and grooviest bell-bottoms from the sixties. I know you are so proud that they still fit you so perfectly. Thanks for the update on the sixties Wrecking Crew. I have always admired those wonderfully talented musicians.
I will be following them now on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)
Bassist Joe Osborn is 75 years old now, and has just produced and played bass for a teenage prodigy Matthew Davidson for his debut recording.
