GMan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yes....if you're looking for some nice mellow songs that have a sense of yearning....then Bread will fill you up. Sorry to hear that...R I P Larry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Great player. Never realized how many monster records he played on (Monkees, Beach Boys, Elvis, Fifth Dimension, Partridge Family, etc). I swore he played on a track on "Boats", along with the drummer from Bread, but I guess not.He will be missed. RIP, Larry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Davie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yes...very sad. The man got around a LOT of studios in his time. But at least his spirit lives on in his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Paul...are you backing Terry and Joey in Toledo in September?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Davie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Sorry to say 'no'. A band called The Cryers will be doing that. I think their leader even helped put the show together.But I will be joining Terry & Joey for their 2 week tour of Australia in late Oct/early Nov. THAT...I cannot wait for!
