He is a part-time Byrd and full-time Flying Burritor Brother. You can find his name a couple of times in the credits on the Byrds' Sweatheart of the Rodeo album...

Died. Raymond Gram Swing, 81, one of radio's best-known newscasters, whose broadcasts four nights a week during World War II reached an audience of millions around the world; of a heart attack; in Washington, D.C. Tall and gaunt, with a calm, reasoned tone to his speech, Swing was among the first of the true commentators, not merely reporting the news but attempting to find a meaning in each day's events.
