I've only heard of "Life In The Foodchain" and "America".  What are the names
of the others?

The musicians are identified on the inner sleeve of "Foodchain".  I don't
have my copy here at work - good thing for my co-workers - but I recall that
they include ex-Bowie sideman Earl Slick, ex-Fanny bassist Jean Millington-
Slick, ex-Buckingham Marty Grebb, the Band's Garth Hudson, and many others.
I think even Dick Dale makes a guest appearance!

P.S.:  Tonio K.'s real name is Steve Krikorian.
