   It was buried in another series of messages. You may not like the Carpenters, but you can't fault Tony Peluso's guitar solo. Perhaps the best of all - though I don't like these raging superlatives. Taste is a matter of taste.

   I said it yesterday, and I'll say it again. Plucky, on this we are in absolute concord. Best guitar solo, in a Desert Island Disc-worthy song.

   Bravo!

   Thanks, mr doran. The only thing I think is sad is that this seems to be all Tony Peluso is known for - at least from a quick search of the net. He was obviously very talented and must have done lots of other things. Hope you and the Doran tribe are all well.

   From what I could find a few years ago when I first tried to find out who played the guitar on the song, I think you're right, that's about it, but he had a decent career as a session musician. But isn't this enough? He's the Harper Lee of axe heroes.

   Luckily being far too young to appreciate The Carpenters I have always thought of them as the musical form of Prozac. I have visions of the women in Stepford Wives walking around in a daze with The Carpenters bland warblings buzzing around their heads.
