That's how it's listed on EOMS. Does anyone know who this was?

His name is Richard 'Didymus' Washington. He was 'not amused' when he saw the credits on Exile on Main St. !

Who was he? And, how did he come to be involved with the Stones, and, why was he not amused with the mention?

He was the percussionist of Dr. John, and part of this group of session musicians like Bobby Keys, Al Cooper, Jim Price, George Harrison, Delaney & Bonnie, Eric Clapton (as Derek), Joe Cocker (Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour).

He was not amused because he didn't get his real name on the credits......Story goes that Keith did this to piss him off (and it worked)!

Nice to know, but it doesn't matter.
That was 1972, and the guy playing Marimbas hasn't done anything that matters since
then, has he? A topic like Mick Taylor being mixed down so low you (almost) cannot hear him on many EOMS songs is a bit more to the point of ancient history.

And please oh please don't bring up Wonnie Woodie. Geez.
