Robert, not only do we share the same last name but we share similar tastes! The Area Code 615 stuff is awesome!! Check out Weldon's work on Lady Madonna and a ballad entitled "Always the Same". Great Stuff!

I've had the LP on my turntable for the past week, listening to "Why Ask Why". It is Weldon, right? The liner notes give him credit.

I saw Area Code 615 at the Fillmore West many years ago in San Francisco. It was a Sunday night, when they held a jam session at the end of the evening. I still remember Buddy Spicher trading country/jazz/fusion licks with Terry Haggerty (http://www.terryhaggerty.com) of the Sons of Champlin -- lookout -- not steel players). Another 60s moment.
