I've always loved Billy Joel's Piano Man, but heard the mandolin in it for the first time, today. It plays through the second part of most verses, but is most strongly heard in the final chorus. Who Played Mandolin?
I'll bet it was David Lindley(sp?)He was on a bunch of stuff back in the 70's and 80's, Seemed to be the session man for all the pop rock guys back then. Did some great stuff for Ry Cooder too....Ever hear the album Jazz he did, lotsa mando on it. Cooder even played mando on it too, one piece with him multi tracked.
