Mike_G Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 yes Lowell George, Little Feat, one of the few great American bands. definitive version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JwNaPIbeH0 jb Lowell George played with Zappa for a time- he was allegedly kicked out of the band for suggesting they play his song Willin' because it contained drug references and Frank was vehemently anti-drug (while simultaneously pandering to the drug culture)
