The Wrecking Crew! Page #4
And listened to some of
the people that were doing this,
and the rock groups, and I got
so I could play that stuff
better than they could.
The very first call
I had ever had at Disney,
we got there a quarter to 12:00,
and all the blue blazers
were leaving.
And we're all sitting there,
about, "Ladies and gentlemen,
we brought you in here
because in this particular film,
we're gonna do a little...
Some of your...
- your rock and roll music."
- "Your rock and roll music"?
"It is this"... Yeah.
"There's a little scene here..."
- "...and we're gonna show it
to you," And it was
a quick, little scene,
so he says, "Now, we have
all the music for you.
And we're gonna do this to what
we call a 'click track.'"
Like, we didn't know
anything was going on.
"We're gonna run
the click very slow
so that you can all learn,
study, and memorize this music."
And then he said, "Mary Anne,
play the click much slower."
Well, she accidentally hit it,
and the minute
ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-
ding-ding-ding, we're in.
And we play this thing
front to back.
And when we finished,
this guy said,
"How in the...
man, you did it perfect.
- I wish we'd have made that."
- "Made it."
"How in the world
could you do that?"
And Tommy said, "We practice
a lot during the day."
It was perfect, 'cause they...
they thought you were
a complete idiot.
I mean, it was unbelievable.
Most of the music
and the money...
I was about to say... It was
a Freudian slip, but true...
came out of the Brill building
in New York.
It was New York-based,
New York writers,
New York singers,
New York musicians.
in New York city,
period, at that time.
Rolling master "A."
Master "A," take one.
Here we go, rolling.
Say, Chess Records
back in Cincinnati.
But there were only maybe
one guitar player,
one bass player,
one piano player,
so it could almost get held up
by those one or two guys.
Well, they could come
to Los Angeles,
and they... It wouldn't
matter if they could call
a matter of 10 or 12
different guitar players,
all of them would be
equally as good
to do what they wanted done,
plus we had more studios
out here.
A lot of the musicians
that were back east,
and in Nashville,
a lot of 'em came out here
to seek their fame and fortune.
This was
for new artists to record too.
Lee Hazlewood told me
he went back to New York
to do a session,
and he just kind of walked
over to the guitar player,
and said,
"Hey, could you play me
this little thing?"
