Dear Wreckie friends and family, 
I want to thank all of you that have shopped at the Wrecking Crew Store recently. Because of the times we're living in, it has pushed me into finding re-discovering old interviews that I'm able to release.
Last Week's Trivia Question
Before I give you the answer to last weeks trivia question, I wanted to apologize for my sloppy writing and grammar. I'm moving way too fast between my mind and the keyboard. So last week when I said,
"...Artie Butler who is not one of the great musician/arrangers of his time, but a great raconteur..." hopefully people read it the way I heard it in my head which was, "...is not ONLY one of the great musician/arrangers..."
Which of these songs and artists did Artie Butler not arrange or play on?
"What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong
"Copacabana" - Barry Manilow
"Feelin' Alright" - Joe Cocker
"Indian Reservation" - Paul Revere & The Raiders - feat. Mark Lindsay
"Laughter In The Rain" - Neil Sedaka
"Traveling Man"- Ricky Nelson
"Sally Go 'Round The Roses" - The Jaynets
"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" - Vicki Lawrence
"Midnight Train To Georgia" - Gladys Knight and The Pips
"Hang On Sloopy" - The McCoys
"Here's To Life" - Barbra Streisand
Traveling Man was written by the great song writer/producer, Jerry Fuller.
