    Bass Spinout/Double trouble 1966,

    His site says he played on Spinout, but i only found a listing for him on the Double Trouble sessions as a bass player.

    this what I read and believe it was easy come easy go;Red West called me up, and he said: "Are you Jerry Scheff the trumpet player?". And I said: "YES!!!" (laughs). I played tuba my whole childhood and through my navy years, and the fingerwork is the same. So I borrowed an old silver, just horrible beat-up looking trumpet from this guy, no case, and I just walked in with that trumpet. We played for two days and I made $900 for these two days. Back then, that was a LOT of money. I never played anything that they could hear. I never played any high notes, I played everything so that it blended with the other horns. Nobody said anything! They didn't call back, but? (laughs). I used to tease Red West about that. I said: "See, Red, you didn't do very good research on me?".

    Cool, Jerry's site also listed him as playing on Elvis (1956) release, guess he did some over dubs for the rerelease of it.

    Now i have to think of a question.

    Name a 1950's track that Elvis played bass on?

    Baby I Don't Care is the one i have info on. It is said Bill Black chucked a tantrum and stalked off cause he couldn't get it right, so Elvis picked up the electric bass and did it.
