Pretty cool Conan had the late, great Paul Pena on the show. It's great that guys like Derek Trucks keep his music alive considered how the music gods conspired seemed to keep Paul Pena a secret.
Big hit for Steve Miller ...."Jet Airliner"....written by Paul Pena
Sidran, keys for Miller's band gave an unreleased copy of New Train to Steve Miller, who recorded "Jet Airliner" with the Steve Miller Band for the 1977 album Book of Dreams. Miller's version of "Jet Airliner" was a hit single, and went to #8 on the charts. Pena's primary source of income in his later years were royalties from that single, which was a song about Pena's airplane trip from Boston to Montreal to play the first-ever date with T-Bone Walker's band.
There isn't much of Paul on record and I have searched high and low for any live recordings, audience or soundboard, and found none. If anyone has any please PM me or respond in this thread.
I already have any regular releases he appeared on so I don't need those.
