Real Radio Guest Musicians

Just got back today from seeing Jefferson Starship in London (third time this month!) promoting their new album. While we were loading in the gear yesterday (this one was a private show) I got talking to their new guest guitarist, Jeff Pevar.

I got it into the conversation very early that he\'d played on a record by a band I really liked. I mentioned the Breakfast\'s name and he immediately said what a talented bunch of musicians the band were, but that he had never heard his finished part on the CD.

I will, of course, rectify that when I see the band again on Saturday and Sunday and give him a copy of mine, but it did make me wonder whether the other guests got a chance to hear how their parts slotted together within the album. For one thing, I don\'t think it would make me think highly of a band who treated me just as a hired gun, rather than a musician, contributing to something greater than the sum of its parts. Call me a hippie, but that seems to me a bit cold. Anyone got any idea whether the guests got at least a CDR copy - or perhaps Peev has hung around Crosby too long and partaken of too many certain herbal remedies so he\'s forgotten?

As for Peev, he was bloody amazing - his first gig and using chord charts for many songs, some of which the band don\'t really know yet (and certainly not the drummer, who is an English guy, filling in for Donny Baldwin at short notice), but he was all over the songs, playing tele, mandolin and of course, his trademark lap steel.

And here\'s a picture of the signed cover - sorry, complete pic is not being posted as I look too stoned on it! No other pics of Peev either from me as I was videoing the whole thing.

Jeff is definitely sweet on guitar. Used to play quite a bit in CT. Saw a few gigs labeled as Jeff P. and Friends, jam session get togethers with various musicians. Really amazing stuff! Pretty wild hearing he is with JS now.

Jeff Pevar is GOD!! If you want to check out his best stuff, then check out CPR (Crosby Pevar Raymond), which are IMO some of the best albums to have come out in the last 25 years...
