Here's another 'maybe we already discussed this' but can anyone tell me what the percussion that runs through "Nowhere to Run" is? I'm talking about the part that starts at the intro before the tambourine comes in and runs through the song. It sounds like a bag of car keys or something-I'm guessing it's a Jack Ashford touch but I've never been able to pinpoint it for sure.

Tire Chains? For real? I wonder how they eq'd tire chains- those mugs are Heavy! It seems like they'd be a lot bassier (there's a word). Man, that's ingenuity. I've always heard Jack Ashford in particular was responsible for a lot of the unique percussion stuff-what's the bedsheet I read about him using; what are some examples? (Oh, and thanks Harry)
