    Hi,

    Who remembers the Rolling Stones' 1967 #1 U.S. hit "Ruby Tuesday"? Brian Jones contributed the recorder (flute) on it. Both Keith Richards and Bill Wyman played the double bass; Richards would glide the bow across the strings while Wyman would pluck them against the fingerboard.

    For all those of you who remember it, I have a burning question in regards to it when performed live (by the Stones): who plays the recorder on it, or is it left out? Something tells me Chuck Leavell, the group's session keyboardist since 1983, may have played the recorder part on his instrument.
