    Default Great Performances By The Session man!

    Amazing what you think about when out for a drive.................Came up with this for a thread

    How many performances are made by having a famous ( Or just excellent ) session man ?

    Here's my starter

    While my Guitar Gently weeps .............Artist The Beatles

    Star session man : Eric Clapton: Guitar

    YouTube - The Beatles While My Guitar Gently Weeps Music Video
    Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

    It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
    Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
    It's the strangest elation
    I can't describe it
    Oh it leaves a man weary
    It makes a man frown.

    Basically all?

    If they're not then they're not famous so you can't really call them performances I guess.

    thanks
    Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
    And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
    Send me off forever but I ask you please
    Don't fence me in
