Hi all, Who did "There are more questions than answers" in the mid 70's? Was it Johnny Nash? I heard it on the radio last weekend. Sounded like 3 violin all over it. Anybody know? Did he do other stuff with tron or was it just a one off? John

Only the session men will know for sure.... I also have a cheapo non-original version on one of those '12 Tops' compilations where Hammond/Leslie is used in place of the string sound. As far as I know, it was 'Rabbit' Bundrick, who played keys on various Johnny Nash releases. Andy T.

BTW How about Barry Biggs' 'Sideshow' (Feb 1977), sure sounds like 3 Violins to me.... and that's another Reggae pop tune! Comments, anyone? Paul Marshall M400 #1380

The new Bill Murray movie "Lost in Translation" has bits of 3 violin Tron in the soundtrack.� (and is a good movie!)� Mellotron connection - the director is Sofia Coppola who directed "Virgin Suicides" which is lush with Tron, thanks to the French T-Dreamers, AIR.
Also spotted uncredited Tron 3violins on Herbie Hancock "Headhunters" (maybe Chamberlain, because some flutes later sound like Chamberlain).� Seems to me Herbie had that early 70's fear of the Musician Union...

According to an interview I read somewhere, there's a string synth/'Tron violins mix on 'Vein Melter'.Andy T.
