Post Your Music Trivia here!

Most people here know that I love music and music trivia. However, I recently heard this bit of trivia that I didn't know:

On Foreigner's renowned recording "4," all of the keyboards/synthesizers on that great recording (Including "Waiting For Girl Like You"...what a song and especially what an intro!) were played by Thomas Dolby (of "She Blinded Me With Science" fame). I did not know that.

Please post any music trivia you have here. No matter how obscure, well-known, whatever...I'd love to see it!

Awesome! I didn't know that either and never would have guessed that!

Here's one I thought of...wonder if hownos knew this one (being a Neil Young fan):

On the great Neil Young song "Old Man," you can hear a banjo in the background. That banjo was played by the great James Taylor!

George Harrison wrote the classic Beatles' song "Here Comes The Sun" on a fine Spring day back in 1969. If I remember the story correctly, Harrison had a day full of meetings (I think mostly with lawyers), but it was a beautiful day and he blew them off. I also believe the guitar he used to write the song belonged to Eric Clapton and he wrote it in his garden. It's actually my favorite Beatles' song and one of my all-time favorite songs.
