Personel Not As It May Appear
The comings and goings of the folks who made these records is a story in itself. The two big hits, Renee & Ballerina had just the vocals by Steve Martin (backing vocals by Cameron and Finn) and Brown's harpsichord, with New York studio cats providing the rest. Lead guitarists came and went during the recording of the albums. The band broke up then partially reformed. More than would fit here comfortably.
