“Honey Pie”

This cut from tribute #2 taken from the Port Byron performance at the Ranch & Company in June of 1978 features Ken on bass, Jon on the nifty lead solo, Paul on drums and me on electric piano and lead vocal.

Updated: 5/17/14: In the selection you can hear Jon on his little megaphone saying, “Now she’s hit the big time!” The photo of him with the nose glasses was taken from another performance!
