Easily Remembered

John Sebastian will be easily
remembered as the force of the old
Lovin' Spoonful. He was vocalist
and primary writer for the group,
and the "good time" sound of the
Spoonful was unmistakably his. He
left the group in 1968 to become a
sole act (anyone remember Mid
Winters last year?) and has had
some success on the club circuit of
late "John B. Sebastian," while a
"solo" effort, features the following
"sidemen:" Dallas Taylor
(drummer of C.S.N&Y). Harvey
Brooks (bassist extraordinaire)
Stephen Stills, David Crosby,
Graham Nash, Buddy Emmons (one
of the best pedal steelists around),
Ray Neapolitan (excellent studio
bassist), Danny Weiss (former lead
guitarist with Iron Butterfly), the
Ihettes, and Bruce Langhorne. All
of these phenomenal musicians are
arranged into a fantastic instrumental
accompaniment behind
Sebastian by Paul Harris.
