I gather Mike Maxfield is no longer playing, but is still involved with the current lineup of the group.

You're quite right about George Martin playing piano & keyboards on all of the Billy J Kramer / Dakotas and Dakotas recordings. By recording the piano at a slow speed and then double tracking it and then speeding it all up the 'wound piano' sounded like a sort of 12 - string guitar. "Magic Carpet" (original title "Tibet") came first I'm afraid. I think that it was released in late October 1963 and was probably recorded during August / September '63. "Little Children" wasn't recorded until 23rd January 1964.

The reasoning being that he would give the piano the same feel and timing as the guitar so that the tracks would fit together better.
