    Wonderful interview Joe, such fantastic stories from a bygone age unfortunately. Don's still with us and he's 85 now. I'm sure you'll remember that sad story of Carol Kaye (bassist on Good Vibrations) returning to the studio where she'd played on so many hit records only to encounter youngsters who didn't even know who she was. Shameful.

      Jon, I didn't know anything about Don Randi until I watched the documentary "The Wrecking Crew" by Denny Tedesco. That opened my mind up to hearing about the studio musicians like Don who were doing most of the sessions in L.A. for the sixties into the seventies. If you get a chance to see this documentary, you'll probably really like it. Before hearing of these musicians, when I heard a song I just focused on the singer. Now I concentrate on the instrumentals. It has made me appreciate the music even more as I think of the musicians backing the artists.

      He truly loved music & felt blessed to work with and be friends with many of these musicians.
      Songwriting, producing, opening a chain of guitar stores, creating the Musicians Hall of Fame were things he didn’t expect to do…he definitely didn’t think he would be considered a interviewer on UA-cam….but again, he considered it a lot of fun & most of all , he was so thankful this platform gave likeminded people a place to find this important history.
