Paul Prestopino (Sept. 20, 1939 - Jul. 16, 2023) was a multi-instrumental musician and sound engineer from Roosevelt, New Jersey. He was a regular participant in the lively 1960s Folk Revival scene in New York City's Greenwich Village. He toured and recorded as a multi-instrumental backup musician with the nationally popular Chad Mitchell Trio, and later toured extensively with Peter, Paul & Mary. And as a technician with The Record Plant Remote, the Record Plant's studio-on-wheels mobile operation, Prestopino worked as a sound engineer for countless musicians. Given his skill as an accompanist on many fretted instruments and his availability at the site of many non-studio recording venues, Prestopino sometimes ended up on hit records by major rock stars, including Aerosmith, Rick Derringer and Alice Cooper. He also played various fretted instruments for recording sessions of many folk singers, including Pete Seeger, John Denver, Tom Paxton, and Judy Collins.[1]
