In school, Weisberg wanted to play drums, but instruments were chosen in order of the students' last names. When Weisberg got his chance, his choice was bassoon or flute.[1] He chose the latter because it was easier to carry and seemed easier to learn.[1] He was a fan of soul music, which had been using the flute in the 1960s.[1] He studied classical music before playing soul, jazz and pop.[1] His first experience recording was on The Monkees' album The Monkees Present in 1969.[1]
While working as a studio musician, his debut album was released with a version of "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues.[1] In 1972 he recorded with The Carpenters and two years later appeared on the television programs The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.[1] His song "A Hard Way to Go" appeared in Woody Allen's movie Annie Hall.[1] He had a hit song, "The Power of Gold", on Twin Sons of Different Mothers (1978), an album recorded with Dan Fogelberg.[1] They collaborated again in 1995 on No Resemblance Whatsoever.[1] Weisberg sued Fogelberg in 1997 for alleged breach of contract and fraud.[2]
Weisberg has performed with David Benoit,[3] Dave Mason, David Arkenstone, and Eddie Rabbitt.
