Description

At 84 years of age, Don Randi is still playing piano and is still sharp as a tack. He sat down in studio 1 at Sunset Sound to share his life story of playing in Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound", The Wrecking Crew, Brian Wilson, and The Beach Boys and so much more.
He has played on over 4,000 tracks and Don gives insight to the "studio musicians" of the 1960s and even sits down at the piano he bought for Sunset Sound in 1960 to play his original "Mexican Pearls". Don still plays piano at his LA club The Baked Potato and is an eternal treasure to music.
