The Crossroad ( MUSIC )

[murrayhill]

Glad you figured it out, cap;
One last reference to Paul Griffin.
He recorded with Dylan on the first electrified albums.
You can hear his same piano style on Like A Rolling Stone
as American Pie.

Al Kooper is the organ player.

I think about the few moments that I spent with him,
beginning with his using my Linn 9000 in the
basement of his apartment building, right up to the vocal overdub
I played.

Most of those guys who were his contemporaries are all gone.
You had to be a fast sight reader to work in the studios back then.
There were plenty of them; dime a dozen it seemed, but
the dudes that could read and and creatively innovate within
the arrangement, like Paul, were rare and mostly anonymous.
