Have you seen the film being screened about The Wrecking Crew? http://www.wreckingcrew.tv/index2.html Ever met any of those folks?

Just saw that not too long ago at a film festival, very cool stuff I hope it makes it to DVD soon.

The Wrecking Crew were waaaaay before my time, and frankly way higher up than any of the circles I'm traveling in. The closest I've come to any of them is buying a bunch of old gear that Glen Campbell used on his live rig.

I did some low-level technical work on a software instrument called the Trilogy, a bass emulator. Carol Kaye was a consultant on it, but I've never met her.

I've gotta see that. I've emailed with Carol Kaye a couple of times over the years. Great gal, incredible bassist.

She's in the film a number of times, old footage from back in the day and interviews from more recent years. It's being produced by a son of one of the Crew, Denny Tedesco. I just got a newsletter email from the site saying they're shooting for an early 2010 release date for the DVD. It's going to have a TON of footage, interviews, etc. Licensing issues are really the only thing holding it up at this point. Plus they're working hard on releasing a soundtrack to go along with the DVD that gives credit where it's due. I can't wait.
