Merrell Fankhauser Nicky Hopkins Interiew

hms bounty and fapardocly I do have the recods and theyre neat I mean groovy

chipsullivan--I'm so jealous!! Great story. Never imagined I'd find Nicky on YouTube but after looking everywhere else... Thanks for posting this.

This interview was done for a TV show with producers and directors calling the shots. There was only 6 mns of time before it went to commercial. It would take days to cover every artist and band Nicky played and recorded with.
We did the best we could with the time we had. We did manage to squeeze in a few live jams "Boppin The Blues", also posted and "Lucille" from a concert we did together. Be glad we have this interview with Nicky!

That interviewer annoyed the hell out of me... RIP Nicky

Played with Jefferson airplane at woodstock. also, great playing with Quicksilver. Great piano player.

I like this interview- Merrill and NH have an easy rapport. He's an old friend and a contemporary, he's not going to ask the music geek questions you (we) would.

Interviewer talks too much. I wanna hear Nicky talk.

Nicky Hopkins' playing runs through what I've always listened to - this interview is very important, and it is a shame that more wasn't said about the Jeff Beck Group, I mean that band consisted of Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Ron Wood (steamingly, surprisingly awesome on bass), Nicky and predominantly Aynsley Dunbar, Mickey Waller and Tony Newman on drums. Argumentative, cripplingly disorganised, grossly underfunded, unreliable, chokingly restricted, but FU*KING GENIUS BAND!! TALENTED BEYOND BELIEF

had the pleasure of meeting nicky...blew off my job to drive him around town for a week of interveiws here
kept in touch for a few years & hooked up again while he was touring..
have never met a kinder more humble rock "star"...it was a privlege

god bless ya nicky....heaven needed a piano player

My guru....... The man says so much with fewer notes.
