I think Pete Sears and David Freiberg used to switch off between bass and keyboards, so it's hard to say for sure which one play keys on this one (unless someone knows!)
FYI, this is inaccurately labeled. While Papa John is on it, it's not a Papa John solo song. It appeared on the Jefferson Starship album "Red Octopus". That's Craig Chaquico on guitar and, I think, Pete Sears on keyboards.
Hello everyone,My name is Robby Thompson, I was catgut's band director and drummer during the 1980-1981 years we did a jazz version of this , that made this socittome groove look bad! He was a great man, a pleasure to work for.
I met Papa John at the hospital that I worked in I think in 1975 or 6 He was there to visit a friend. He was in town playing at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach cal. He was also the [if my info is correct] first to "amplify" a violin, I think it was 1940.
If you play this on low, it makes an excellent background to 70's porn

@wingman572 I am reasonably sure this IS the Jefferson Starship recording from RED OCTOPUS.

Any chance you might point us at a recording of that version? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate it!
Thanks!
