Leon Russell trivia:  he played piano on the novelty hit, "the Monster Mash".

If memory serves I think Delaney Bramlett was a guitar player in the Shindig band, the Shindogs(?) but maybe not this early.

Saw him a few times with Dylan in 2012 or so; great little tour they did together

@steved Apparently Delaney was Steved. Sounds like he was in 1964 from reading his wiki page.
