Johnnie hears 70s memories from director and producer Denny Tedesco.

Johnnie Walker is joined in conversation by director and producer Denny Tedesco.

Denny Tedesco is the director of documentary film The Wrecking Crew, which celebrates the group of session musicians famed for playing on numerous hit records during the sixties and seventies. Working in Los Angeles, the Crew included musicians like Glen Campbell, Carol Kaye and Denny's own father Tommy Tedesco. Denny shares his memories of the decade as well as stories from the Wrecking Crew.

Also on the show, Johnnie digs out some of the best of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive, and another listener helps to add a classic seven-inch single into Johnnie's Jukebox.
