I love the song The Highwayman by The Highwaymen. As I was listening to it today, I thought the guitar sounded like Mark Knopfler. It wasn't. But as I was researching, I found this... A Mark Knopfler collaboration with Jimmy Webb, the songwriter behind The Highwayman. Absolutely fantastic!

Jack Sheldon (Merv Griffin's Doc Severinsen) plays on Tom Waits' One from the Heart soundtrack album.
That was later corrected by someone else. My mistake. He played on the 1992 MTV Video Awards (live) version, not the studio version.

I woke up about ten minutes ago and I still have it in my head.) Flashback: Guns N' Roses Jam With Elton

Gary Brooker from Procol Harum plays Hammond organ on three tracks from The Red Shoes by Kate Bush, and Kate quotes the "Cartwheels 'cross the floor" line from 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' in 'You're the One'.
