The Section Smilin' Ed

This is my all time favorite instrumental piece. The song is from 1973 by some now famous studio musicians. I believe I heard a "live" version once but can't find it anywhere. If anyone knows of it, let me know.

Thanks for listening! I did search this out on Wolfgangs Vault a while ago. But like you said, no Smilin' Ed. I play organ and would love to be able to play the keyboard part of Ed but unfortunately I can't play by ear. I e-mailed Craig Doerge, and actually got a response. He said there was no songbook put out by the Section so no hard copy of this great song and so no actual notes for me to reference. The "live" version I reference I think I heard on a radio commercial.

Very difficult to find much about this "band". Bought an album in 1975 or so, was one of my favorites, long gone...

Whle I'm here, thanks to each one of you that make up this band, always remember you guys as much as the headliners that you play(ed) with.
