Oh yeah...forgot about the church organ.

Q: did Pinder ever use the French accordian?

Mike said that he used it on "For My Lady".  I have yet to corroborate that on #134 as I have done with "Peak Hour".  While respecting Mike, he has made some contradictory statements in various interviews, e.g., in Ross Mehan's recently released documentary, Mike stated that he used only Strings, Brass, Flute, and Church Organ (likely true only on stage - I have no personal recollection of hearing anything other than those sounds in concert), while the recordings reveal that he used Italian Accordion, Vibes, Tenor Sax (quite often) & half-speed Brass (although the latter, I believe, was not an available sound and likely studio trickery).
