Larry Knechtel, a keyboard player who worked with the Beach Boys, the Byrds, Ray
Charles, Neil Diamond, the Dixie Chicks, Elvis
Presley and Hank Williams Jr., died Thursday (Aug. 20) in Yakima, Wash. He was
69. A band biography on the Dixie Chicks' Web site says, "Larry's resume is a history lesson in great American music all unto
itself. The term 'legendary musician' isn't an overstatement when talking about a multi-instrumentalist who can be heard on
some of music's most legendary recordings." Knechtel also performed on the Dixie Chicks' Grammy-winning album, Taking the
Long Way. He won a Grammy for arranging Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
