Since there is a flurry of deductive reasoning going on, who plays that groovy bass on Always on the Bright Side (a big fave, Gord has not many/any other arrangements in that style)?
Hockensmith is my guess but could be Szczeznzizazk...or could Rick himself.
Gord comments it was written during his EOM penning flurry but another note says it was a Salute out take just to keep the waters muddy...great questions for Char tele-interview#2
Gord may have no clue himself...session player credits are always fun...some guy's work will even get left on the cutting room floor and they often still make the credits probably rightfully so as they did provide options
