Dinnerpianist here: I apparently was one of those "anonymous" session players who came in after the initial star players on the Josie and The Pussycats cartoon serise. I believe we were part of the demo sessions which the first call players utilized. The truth is players such as me did $25 per session demos of the material which was used in the TV series. Sometimes we were actually contracted to play on the master sessions. I remember Larry Muhoberac, Dave Kemper and Bill Connors putting down tracks which "inspired" high scale players when they were contracted for the master recording sessions. There was a Bill ? running the demo sessions while John Hess - the business manager of Indepenent Recorders signed the checks. Al Capps and Jimmy Haskell were the main arrangers. I think there was a Ron?" at the desk. It was an exploitive time of raw and naive talent. I had just retuned from military service and took any work available. Al Capps did recommend me for a Jennifer Warnes  (nee Warrens) shot road tour which took me away from session work in a disadvantaged manner. Jennifer had many issues and I was dropped from a combined tour with Mason Williams because I wasn't much into the recreational narcotics scene. You'll have to check with Jennifer to see if my take on that period is accurate or just a lame delusion for being a second rate musician.  I've moved on but I don't have many fond memories of LaLa Productions and Independent Recorders.  I cashed my Kellogs underwriting checks and moved on.
