Was this the same Tom Parker featured on Quo? :- Thomas Arthur 'Tom' Parker (1944 in Dumfries – 18 April 2013 in Marbella) was a British musician. He started playing piano at the age of six and was performing in jazz clubs around London by his teens. In the 1960s he was a session musician. He was briefly a member of The Animals in 1966. In 1972 he formed Apollo 100 with other session musicians and had a hit single "Joy", an arrangement of Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Parker was also known for his popular arrangements of classical works, such as The Young Messiah, The Young Amadeus, and The Young Verdi which were recorded with the New London Chorale. He died in Spain where he lived in semi-retirement. He also mis-managed Elvis Presley for many years. Fixed that for yer! |

Roadhouse Blues only wasn't it? Rick played it as well on some tracks. The credit is "Additional Piano". Rick is credited with Piano and Organ. I don't know on who played on what track, they're mostly submerged anyway. Took me years to hear the piano on Don't Waste My Time!! Rick probably plays the piano on DWMT and BFM, plus the organ on Unspoken Words. Some synthy sounding things in A Year, not sure who or what produced them.... |

a bit on John Mealing , who gets the credit for keys on the epic Forty Five Hundred Times . John Mealing (born Yeovil, Somerset, 5 April 1942) is a keyboards player, composer and arranger. After leaving the Don Rendell-Ian Carr Quintet in the late sixties,he joined the pioneering British jazz-rock band If until they came off the road in 1972. Subsequently appearing on albums by Klaus Doldinger's Passport, Mick Ronson, Leo Sayer, John Entwistle, Status Quo, and ex-King Crimson drummer Michael Giles, he went on to join Strawbs following the departure of John Hawken. In the mid-eighties, Mealing did arrangements for several hit British albums by bands such as The Style Council and The Pet Shop Boys. Between 1986 and 1993, he composed the music to the hit BBC Television quiz shows Every Second Counts and Bob's Full House. He is credited with the music for the 1991 The Secret Policeman's Biggest Ball.  John Mealing of The Strawbs |
