[There's a quote from Mike Wilhelm in the guestbook at johncipollina.com, which ends with:

...John leaving his hospital bed in '85 to come to Tres Virgos Studio to play on my record for free. A real gentleman, a great musician, an old soul.

[NB
Kenny Streight is listed on the CD between Rymer and Chris Wilson - which would suggest that he appears on the earlier LP - but he isn't listed on the page on New Rose's web site which has details of the "Mike Wilhelm" LP.
Rick Kunstler is listed on the CD cover, but Rick Kunstlet is listed on the LP.
D. Orso is listed on the CD cover, but D. Corso is listed on the LP.
