All of the songs in the playlist are linked directly by a personal relationship between the artists performing the previous and subsequent music.
Opening Remarks. I hope I can come up with something interesting, entertaining, compelling, transfixing or, at the very least, amusing. |

Oh, Pretty Woman Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman |
There were four guitar players on the Pretty Woman session: Roy Orbison, Billy Sanford, Jerry Kennedy, and Wayne Moss. Billy Sanford, who later played on sessions for Elvis Presley, Don Williams and many others, played the intro guitar. Williams introduced him as a kid who had just arrived Nashville, with a borrowed guitar, who heard Orbison was minus a guitar player, who went over and got the gig. Other musicians on the record included Floyd Cramer on piano, Bob Moore on an upright bass, Boots Randolph on saxophone, Charlie McCoy on harmonica, Buddy Harman on drums, and Paul Garrison on percussion. Orbison played a 12-string Epiphone. Bill Porter served as recording engineer for the song |
