		Blaine’s reputation as a quick study spread throughout the L.A. music and film business, the demand for his skills coinciding fortuitously with the growing popularity of rock & roll in the late ’50s and early ’60s.
		Blaine took it in stride, went on the road with John Denver, and eased himself into a slightly saner schedule of pet projects for the love of playing, such as working with his friend David Grisman on an album of traditional Jewish melodies called Songs of Our Fathers, and its companion volume, coming soon.

		Someone else said TTT appears in Hal Blaine's discography, but I'm not sure what their source for that was (the song is not listed on Blaine's website).
		Hal has mentioned many times how he used to go in to the studio to "fix up" already recorded drum tracks...sometimes, going right "over" the existing one because it wasnt on a seperate track that could be erased, in the 4 track days.
