i do not know the guitarist, but i just ordered the 70's tv themes from cdnow.com and i hope it has the info on there. look on cdnow and it says the musicians' names "elliot" and someone else. email me next week and i'll let you kow if it says anything in the cd jacket rich@primex-intl.com

I just downloaded the theme song. It's soo smooth, I gotta learn how to play it. I will search my resources to find out who the musicians were 'cause I'm curious too. Wouldn't surprise me if it was Duck Dunn or James Jamerson. I hope to find out soon. I'll post a reply if I find out.

The music in the credits is listed as being written by:

Jack Elliot and
Allyn Ferguson

I too really like the theme song and would like to know who the artist is. I'd also like to know if the theme song had another title, like the Taxi theme song was Angela by Bob James. Please send answer(s) to thehokiemon@att.net thanks.

Q. Is that you on the Barney Miller Theme?

A. Many people have asked me this question as it sounds like my style. That's
actually the fine Chuck Berghofer on elec. bass, plus I understand he made up that
line which later was written as years afterwards, Jim Hughart (former student of mine
btw, great talent and had elec. bass hits of his own too) did some of the Barney Miller
things too. But definitely that's mainly Chuck, who used to play string bass on the
Nancy Sinatra and Jody Miller things we'd record together -- Chuck is also on the
movie soundtrack "Bird", he OD'd some string bass on that fine film. He's a fine jazz
string bassist -- Pete Jolly lps, etc.
