I know none of you kids know who this is but he was a part of an amazing era of television in my early life.
RIP Peter you will be missed greatly.

The Shop
All the instrumentation was done by the famous "Wrecking Crew" a group of session musicians in LA that played on just about every hit in the 60's and 70's.
Story goes Peter showed up at the recording studio with his bass thinking he was going to play on the record and was told all that was taken care of.
Folks would be surprised at how many bands from the 60's 70's even today didn't/don't actually record their material.
It was pretty standard for session musicians to do the studio recording.
Even today many bands have ghost musicians record for the album instead of actual band members.
On the Beach Boys phenomenal Pet Sounds record not a single beach boy played a note except Brian Wilson.
He hired the Wrecking Crew to do the entire record.

Eleanor Rigby. Not a Beatle played on it. Paul John and George only did vocals.
Michael Nesmith's mom invented liquid paper.
Just saying.
GODSPEED PETER TORK. Many happy memories because of you.
