Simon & Simon

I'll probably get no replies, but here goes. Back in the 1980s I used to watch a TV private eye show called 'Simon and Simon'. The melody to the theme song was played on steel, and a lot of the background music was done on steel and synth. Who played steel for the show, and is there a tab for the theme song?

I played steel on almost every episode, but the melody on the theme song was a regular 6 string slide guitar played by Dean Parks. He re-tuned his G string up to G# for that piece.

I was a mess back then (still) and not sure if I got paid at all. Who cares anyway? Life is art, and I was just grateful for a chance to get out of the house.

Earnest, I commend you on a nice job and It was probably why I watched it so much to hear you!

Nice credit under your belt!

Theresa,
Why don't you ever say those nice things to me.

Incidentally, the fragrance in question is Acqua Di GIO and I now have a long winter's supply. Merry Christmas to you and Gregg.[This message was edited by Buddy Emmons on 10 December 2002 at 11:43 AM.]

I thought Art was a drummer.

I think I remember an LA studio guy named Tim May being credited with the Simon & Simon intro, but that's been a looooooong time ago...
