00:00 In the early 70s, you couldn't pick up an album and look at the liner notes without
00:06 seeing these guys' names.
00:08 I would buy records just 'cause they were on it.
00:13 The creative input of these session guys cannot be overstated.
00:18 It can't be overstated.
00:20 Russ Kunkel.
00:21 Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain.
00:26 Danny Korsmar.
00:27 And it's too late baby now, it's too late.
00:33 Lee Sklar.
00:34 And the days go by like a strand in the wind, in the web that is mine.
00:44 They were just musicians we knew and they gradually became legendary session musicians.
00:49 My main goal was to not get fired.
00:53 Tapestry the whole thing was done in three weeks.
00:55 Three songs in one day and we didn't piece together the best.
00:58 No, it wasn't overdubbed.
00:59 We were all in our 20s.
01:00 No, there was no sleeping.
01:06 Each album became like a, what's the next thing they're gonna do?
01:12 Not only did they give birth to this music, they're as much the author of these songs
01:16 as the artist they did it with.
01:18 Ego goes out the window.
01:19 Well, I'm not sure that's true.
01:20 I have a huge ego.
01:21 I could get hiper younger people.
01:29 In this hotel.
01:30 But these are the people that play it best.
01:35 All I can express in admiration for these guys.
01:40 Four truly great players, all of them masters of their instrument.
01:43 In hindsight, I was just happy to be there.
01:46 I've got a band full of brothers that love me.
01:49 I'm proud of all of it.
