There's one more great man I know of from Iowa.......MEEEEE. LOL I grew up in Sioux City(actually knew Tommy Bolin's younger brother).It's cool that someone else knew who he was!!!!

I've heard of Tommy Bolin, because he was in Denver in the '70s (long before I was here).

My hometown in Ohio is the birthplace of Dean Martin, Jimmy the Greek, Traci Lords...and a band called Wild Cherry was also from the area--known for 'Play That Funky Music'..

Here's some cool Tommy trivia for you. Tommy was sent home form high school by one of his teachers when he was about 16 or 17 and told not to return untill he cut his hair.Tommy went home,packed some clothes,his guitar,and as much money as he could scrape togeather and caught a Greyhound bus to Denver .The rest is history. Tommy was on track to becoming the next Jimi Hendrix when he (like Jimi) was taken from us far too soon.Thank God for the music he left us with so we can still listen to and remember a better time in life. I didn't know that Little Feat's drummer was from Iowa,I thought they were all from Georgia or somewhere down south(love that Dixie Chicken).
