Merrell's tribute to piano wiz and fellow musician Nicky Hopkins who died in 1994. Pete Sears of Jefferson Starship plays piano on the song. Nicky played on records by The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, and others.
so sorry to hear about nicky hopkins i always seen his name on john lennon records loved his electric piano on how do you sleep,old dirt road,jealous guy and oh yoko.not many video footage out there of him playing piano.
Nicky Hopkins was one of my best friends, a fellow pianist who always treated me with such respect. I miss him terribly but always remember him with huge affection. We wrote some great songs together and he left a legacy of tunes which I hope will be published before too long. Just remember Nicky, we come back! Jane Vanessa
