Okay Ron - you just hit a home run here!
I give Lenny the same amount of credit as I do to Sir George Martin. That's a mouthful.
Lenny's first shot at Production was with some old friends from the San Francisco Penninsula: The Mojo Men. They did a re-make of the Stephen Stills Tune Sit Down I Think I Love You and it charted well around 67-68. Little Jan Errico (drums) sang her heart out on that one. We actually worked together for a short time in Seattle, Kodiak Alaska, and of course local clubs in the Bay Area. Last I heard of Jan was she married a police officer in the early 80's and lived in the San Jose Area. Sorry for the rant - but Lenny Warronker deserves a private parking spot in the Hall of Fame. Did wonders with others as well - but had a real special place inside of him for Gordon. On the other hand....Gordon Lightfoot is the reason Lenny made it to VP of Warner Brothers in the late 70's. Gord was out selling the entire roster 5-1 and to my knowledge he kept the label afloat for quite some time!!!
That's just a few facts - and some of my take on it. I am new here - so if I get too wordy...just say so. I won't be offended.

I'll be posting some pictures Someday Soon (hey, is there an Ian Tyson song in there somewhere?)
