Pete Clute

1960s

On the Victor recording date Pete Clute played calliope on a few numbers. The volume of the calliope created all kinds of problems. Turk said: "We rented a calliope and brought it in the studio and recorded with that and proceeded to wreck RCA Studios and everything else. It was a day they would like forget." Turk's comments appeared in Jim Goggin's book Turk Murphy - Just for the Record.
