  • I believe Jerry Garcia played pedal steel guitar on this one.

  • @chinacat63 There's been debate about that over the years. The consensus these days is that Jerry actually played pedal steel on Oh Mommy from that same Tarkio album. The producer of that album (Stephen Barncard) says this isn't Jerry -- and he says it's not even a pedal steel on this song. Maybe it's a B-bender Tele?

  • This is great as with all your videos but I prefer the Lawerence Welk version of this song.

  • @crb1961 I've seen that one. At first, I thought they had changed it to "one toe over the line" or something, but no, they sang it correctly. That show must have had one hip producer!

  • I met Mike Brewer and worked with him briefly in Branson, Mo.. Great guy, didn't even know he was THE Mike Brewer from Brewer and Shipley till he told me. I'll never forget it.

  • wow. I was looking for the electric guitar intro to this song and stumbled across this. It was nowhere near what I was looking for but thought I'd listen for a few seconds. And got hooked. Very nice job!!!

  • @privettricker ..... thanks, the producer must know.

    Jerry was a productive guy back then and was playing on everyone's albums in the Bay area.

  • So this song really was about what I think it was about.....doing the laundry on a Saturday night? Actually when this was a hit, I was about 5-6, so as far as I was concerned, that was exactly what it was about. I can vividly remember hearing this song playing from the single speaker AM radio only Chevy station wagon on a family trip of some kind with one of my older sisters driving under Dad's tutelage....then I peed myself!

  • PT, You went deep into the archives on this one. Excellent. Don't think the tokes they refer to were subway tokens...
