Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4)

For a related quiz:

1- Name the sax player who worked in Rock ’n’ Roll bands from the 1950’s all the way into the 1980’s. Hint: He recorded his own single, the title of which contained his last name.

2- Name the electric guitarist who played in the bands of Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley, and Emmylou Harris.

3- Name the three drummers who were members of L.A. studio band The Wrecking Crew.

It's a wrap. I'll give #1 to jastralfu although due to the excellent response should have revealed (3) bands for the question including Dire Straits.

Excellent questions bdp24-

2- Name the electric guitarist who played in the bands of Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley, and Emmylou Harris."

Who is...Glenn Campbell?

3- Name the three drummers who were members of L.A. studio band The Wrecking Crew."

Who are...Hal Blaine, Buddy Rich and that other guy? I bet $0 assuming this was the "Daily Double."

@tablejockey:

2- Incorrect answer, but a great guitarist none-the-less. And coincidently, Glen was also a member of The Wrecking Crew. Hint: The guitarist in question is well known as a Fender Telecaster player, a pink paisley one no less.

3- Hal Blaine is correct. One down, two to go. Hint: One drummer came out of the New Orleans Jazz scene, the other is considered by many of his peers (including Eric Clapton) to be the best Rock ’n’ Roll drummer of them all. His great playing may be heard on Dave Mason’s debut album, but he is not Jim Keltner.

Correction regarding question no. 1: The song title includes not the saxophonist’s last name, but his first name made into a surname by the addition of the word "Mr." before it.
