The older I get the more I yearn for these days. Life was so much simpler, so much easier, and the music was soooo much better.
Saw the FEAT in charlotte with the Allman Brothers band great show!!!!
No crappy cell phones
Bonnie and Emmylou as backup singers, grooving along with Little Feat - what a delight to watch this in 2023 !

Lowell George was such a special talent. He had so much natural soul in his singing and guitar playing. Truly one of the most underrated musicians of all time.
Well said...
Lowell George was an awesome and incredible talent!
I attended the Tribute Concert to Lowell George on August 4th, 1979 at the Forum in Los Angeles . Little Feat performed as as well as Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, Nicolette Larson, Emmy Lou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, Michael McDonald, JD Souther, and Tower of Power…I’ll never forget that Concert…RIP Lowell George!
Out of sheer luck, I was there too.
I also saw Little Feat 4 or 5 times as aa teen (it's a blur of smoke) in DC while Lowell was still alive. So good!
Lowell George's slide playing on Rocket In My Pocket is just burning with soul. He's in good condition for this show and he's singing really well. Lowell George was the greatest artist and Little Feat the greatest band to emerge from Southern California during this period. The Eagles, Poco, Flying Burrito bros and of course Gram Parsons got more attention. Little Feat operated in their own space. They were in a genre of "one", all on their own. Thankfully the fan base was strong enough to keep them going. Just some of the great music of the 20th century.
Yeah man, such a gre t song, his voice was strong on this, Justin Haywards druming, bill paynes. piano and that slide, Wow.
Speaking of slide, I heard Lyle George mention that he used to Sears socket wrench of a particular size for his slide playing. I immediately drove over to the Sears store and bought said item. And here’s where the magic starts. I had the same exact size requirements as Mr. George did. I was only 17 years old but I felt anointed in someway. I still have that socket wrench, and due to arthritis. I’ve switched over to composition, production, and lap, steel playing.
Me too@@GuitarUniverse2013 dam those things are really heavy, I put it on and it would crash into my fretboard and sound very un-Lowell Georgey. :-(. He must have had fingers like Popeye.
@@GuitarUniverse2013 Journalist, Adam Sweeting described Lowell's slide solo on 'Rock 'N' Roll Doctor' as a" screaming miracle of sonic architecture"...:
We had the music-period, full stop. Look at this lineup for just one episode of Midnight Special. Hell, most "entertainers" now don't even sing without autotune. The array of talent here is unparrelled today. We won't see this again. RIP, Lowell George. I miss you still.
Wow I'm 62 and this is the first time I even knew that this existed and I have been listening to Little Feat for 50 years.
June of 77 ... I had a rocket in my pocket
They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm 70 and this is the first I'd discovered this gem. Midnight Special, Don Kirschner's Rock Concert were "Must See TV".
I'm 69, and when this was being broadcast in 1977 I loved all of these artists. However, I never stayed up for Midnight Special when I was 23 years old, as a newly married man with my rockin' days in the past, trying to make my way forward in my work life. Starting abruptly in Sept 1976, when I started public school music teaching, I slept when I could. Then along came our kids in the 1980s. Thank goodness I now have CZcams so I can see what I missed!
I realize alot of great musicians had respect for Little Feat, but for Emmylou and Bonnie to sing back up speaks volumes.
Because they are real musician' s musician.
Frank Zappa had enough respect for Lowell to say.... you need to start your own band
Yeah but... They weren't big names yet.

@@toenailtom654 They stayed. Busy touring.
You could easily mistake this video as a "greatest hits" compilation, until you realize it was all played in a single night/episode. 😮
I”ve been a “Dead Head” all my life; but i’ve harbored a secret to this day: Little Feat is my favorite, my soul, my core. Drove to Montana 40 years ago (in my 74 Volkswagen Super Beetle, never to return) listening to Little Feat every moment of the way. Nothing else would do - goes with the scenery 🏔️. My sweet landlord in SLC had just turned me on to them - made me mixed cassettes of everything published at the time - changed my life forever. First music i ever downloaded to a smart phone too. Now live in a Seniors only building, with a bunch of retired ol’ Bitterrooters. Break The Feat out, on my portable speaker, at every BBQ - raises eyebrows every time - & inadvertent grooving. Old Folks Boogie 😊
FEAT deserves to be in somebodies Hall of Fame!!
I saw Little Feat and Bonny Raitt plus Delany & Bonny for one Yankee dollar at a college outside Allentown Pa in 1973, gotta say best dollar I ever spent !
Was that the yankee dollar Leonard Cohen sang about? :-)
Sounds like heavenly music overload with emphasis on heaven ! ! !
FABULOUS!
I've seen them all, but never on the same bill. All I can say is, I hate you.... :)
Heh, saw Little Feat for FREE at UC Santa Barbara with Scott McKenzie (If You're Going to San Francisco...) just as their first album was coming out.
Saw them a few years later at Max's Kansas City in NYC and even asked Lowell George to play Brides of Jesus. "We don't have the violins," he replied.
The quantity of talent on that stage on that particular night could rarely be repeated today. Simply amazing.
Trouble is, they weren't all on that stage together! But Feat + Emmylou + Bonnie is good enough for me any time!
An easy comment to make, given that there has never been two more talented bands than Weather Report (w/ Jaco) and Little Feat (w/ George).
Kevin P And they all played live!!
No fucking backing tracks or sequencers!!!! Bullshit music today everywhere!!!!
Agree!!
And no choreography!
Waiting for Columbus was the greatest live album ever recorded along with the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East
yup!! totally agree!
Don’t forget, live at Leeds and Frampton comes alive and made in Japan. That’s all I need.
There's a fat man in the bat tub. I would play that song at high volume. Back at home in the late 70s when my dad was in the shower as a joke. He new what I was getting at. He was like 280 at 5ft 7. Yes that was a great live album. Still have it. One of my favorite songs by lil feat had a nice lil drum solo in it. Song ?
I'm partial to Europe 72 along with Live Fillmore. I think rock and roll animal was alive album also it's pretty good one
For my money, Edgar Winter White Trash Roadwork is the best live album, with these others listed as close secondarys.
Wow.
Billy Payne's accompanyment to EmmyLou. Wonderful.
I'm 75, (born in '48) and this is the music of My Generation.
So grateful.
I love being older and having lived through those times!
Me too!
I loved living through those times....not so much being older :-)
man , i'm glad we made it lol
They were great times for sure.
Starting with The Beatles, there was a flood of great new music for 10+ years.
Little Feat was the band that so many other iconic musicians of the time, of many genres listened to.
Being born in 1960 did have the benefit of the best TV of all time
I saw little feat in lexington ky, April 77, and to this day the tightest band I've seen. The next day I ran into Lowell George at local pizza joint playing pinball and had beers, as good as gets!
I was there too! From med school in Cincinnati, a GREAT break and concert, the best I've seen.
I may be old but I’ve seen some fucking great bands
Me too friend!
@@user-dp4rj6xn7ilikewise.
I enjoyed the Midnight Special back in the 70's, but this episode is the best I can remember. What a line up of talent! Little Feat before Lowell George passed and Weather Report before Jaco Pastorius died. Not to mention all the rest who continue to make great music.
The shows where Lowell George performed dead just didn't have the same energy.
Don't forget Neil. That Hurricane rendition was classic.
'twas my 18th Birthday the night this aired. I stayed home to watch it instead of going out to get legally drunk, that's how great this line up was.
For a youngster, it was a smart decision.
I was lucky enough to be turned onto Little Feat in ‘78, and of all places in my middle school station wagon mom carpool. One mom had not only Little Feat but first Boston album and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors….on 8 track ofcourse.
What a spectacular show! Little Feat with Lowell at the height of his powers. Emmy Lou, Bonnie Raitt, if Gram was alive in’77 this show would have been one for the record books!
I was thinking the EXACT same thing about Gram...SIGH...
Great lineup. I saw Little Feat, Captain Beefheart, and Ry Cooder in the early '70's, Carbondale, Il. That was another great lineup.
I use that line all the time ... "you know you are over the hill, when your mind makes a promise your body can't fill" ... says it all.
I graduated from high school in Florida in 1972 and moved to Austin with my boyfriend. A couple of years later we went to a concert to see Van Morrison. Little Feat opened for him. They did three encores before Van Morrison politely insisted the audience give up on another and get his concert started. People didn't want Little Feat to stop. They were an incredible band.
RIP: Jaco Pastorius, Lowell George and Richie Heyward. You are all terrible missed
I don't know them (OK I do and I don't like 'em) but NEIL YOUNG will be missed by me and it's gonna hurt for a long time. 50 great song, and all the great groupies for Mr Soul. One thing that will follow me all my life is "I ain't gonna be your sugar mama no more". Just sounds corny; I know it's country staple though. And this may be the only show Neil Young was in that he was not King or talked about in comments below. You people are evil.
@@michaelmiller7160 Dude......what?
@@michaelmiller7160what about NY stance on 💉? The guys an utter w⚓
Bill Payne is the all-time tastiest piano player in rock and roll.
Mike, I agree...He was probably the best keyboard player I've seen live (3 times), but I may be blinded by my enthusiasm for the band in general...There is a reason other groups don't cover Feat songs...No one else can re-create their sound...
Indeed. Bill Payne mesmerizes me when I listen and watch.
Him and Chuck Leavell
mister Bill Payne!!
What about Glen D Hardin?
I loved the Wolfman! Watched every Midnight Special, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Soul Train - the late 60's and 70's were the bomb!
Norton Buffalo pulling out four harmonicas on Run Away for the solo still kills me. So many amazing musicians on this broadcast it boggles my little mind. And Lowell George shines with that sparkplug socket slide. No one's done it better.
why is he cycling through the harmonicas like that?!?
@@larrym2434 Because harmonicas are diatonic - they are tuned to one major scale - and the song chords cycle through several temporary keys. Each separate harmonica allows him to play a melody that outlines the song harmony (chord) at that point.
Freebo on bass!
Thank you Earl Guthrie for taking the time to put what were individual videos of each of the songs from this show into a coherent, cohesive and comprehensive reproduction of the the show as broadcast.
Amazing talent amazing show.
Again, Thank You!!!
A great,great share Earl Guthrie...these 'guys' (gals) are just about as good as it gets.
Little Feat were the very best.
Bonnie Raitt is one of the most naturally talented performers in rock history…total badass in every way…
Her Dad John was an amazing talent and Broadway 🎭 Star as well!
why do people say things like this. she's just another person, another singer of some many. yet someone always has to over idolized
@@tpatrick44 - Saw Bonnie with her Dad on Letterman once, singing the title song from "Oklahoma." which Dave would spoof/sing with Paul and the World's Most Dangerous Band occasionally. It was great, and the crowd went nuts - Her Dad was SO proud...it was great to see.
@@gregdueck3685 - Naa-ah; Bonnie can play fabulous, authoritative acoustic Blues guitar as well as slide and electric guitar; she began on the old Folk circuit and was friends with many of the old Blues men, who she would hang out with, and sing and play(and drink, hoot and holler). I realize that you're younger and know everything, you should know that she was a Musical road-warrior for years until she finally licked her drinking and had a genuine hit record by a great songwriter, which gratified her fans who had loved her for decades. She's a American National Treasure yet unlikely to be embarrassed by going to the White house and having to suck up to the President!
This, my friends, is what is called "quality". Everyone on the stage is a superb musician at the top of their game. Very few acts of today could approach these performances in terms of both technical brilliance and, well, soul. There's no other word for it. Also, every time I see and hear Bonnie Raitt I think to myself, "How the hell could I have forgotten how totally awesome she is?" She and KD Lang have to be among the greatest singers ever, IMNSHO.
This is when real music flowed on the air-waves. I loved the M.S. Great shows every week.
YES!!!! Music that connected people stunned by the irony that was the early to mid 70’s
Lowell was such a badass... Little Feat what a band!
Thanks so much for that!! Old man here - two of my favorites with Lowell and Bonnie and at the top of their game too! Used to see Bonnie in the small bars way, way before she hit paydirt, and she was just as good then - hearing that amazing voice live in a nowwhere bar was like a slice of grace and then the amazing guitar on top of it is unmatched to this day for me.
Little Feat and Bonnie Raitt are killing it here. Emmylou is great as usual.
If anyone ever wondered just how good Little Feat was, just scroll through this vid and watch the Feat pieces. OMG!
Rocket in My Pocket is incredible.
The amazing Norton Buffalo's harmonica solo on Runaway, blowing 4 different harps, that's quite a juggling act!
Yep, and I think of Jimmy Hall. Jimmy did the Govt Mule encore in Nashville when I saw them, he filled for the flute on 32/20 Blues
As a musician that covers that tune, it was a hoot to see how he handled that song. To solo over it, requires modulating each chord change Am - G - F - E. The dude whips out one key harp after another and nails it!
Emmylou and Bonnie with Little Feat as the backing band is as good as it gets!
Neil Young is forever in a league of his own, and this video proves why. He sits on High.
His performance was riveting. You can really see how much he inspired the look and sound of the grunge bands about 15 years later.
man I wish tv was like this now....and it was free!!!!!
Austin City Limits gets close.
Amazing to watch Weather Report play. They were all so good. Jaco is such a virtuoso and he was having so much fun with his vocals. What a time to be alive.
Midnight special will forever be an ode to the 70s. What a great show.
Are you kidding me with this line up! CZcams is freakin awesome. Thanks for posting.
How rare to see a video of Little Feat live! Thank you for posting this!
The Weather Report tune segment is just so good. Imagine these players in the one band Jaco Pastorius on bass, Joe Zawinul on keyboards (rest in peace to both those gentlemen) and the incomparable Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone. What could be sweeter? Thanks so much for posting. It really is a musical treat.
Sadly, Wayne Shorter has since also died, March 2, 2023 in Los Angeles at age 89.
Drummer Alex Acuna is still going strong!!
These rock stars you mourn didn't die they are in witness protection or heaven but they left all of you a legacy so cheer the he'll up groupies!!! 😂
The year I graduate high school. Think about that in the 70s the average American teenager could appreciate country jazz blues rock and pop all in the same 90 minutes. Compare the show with the Spotify top 10 song list today.
There’s something magical about little feet. I hope you all have the live double album waiting for Columbus! it’s great!
Psst, it's Little *Feat*.
Damn. Little Feat. Just...damn!
Has anyone other than the hundreds of artists that were lucky enough to work with her, ever shown Emilou Harris the respect she deserves. What a voice, harmonist & talented lady. Talented woman make this show a keeper. Love me some Little Feat.
This popped up in my feed today as well - what a lineup. Pure class from start to finish. Thanks to Earl for making this available to the world. Little Feat must be one of the best bands ever to back Emmylou, they are so underrated as musicians. Now they've recently started uploading whole episodes I really can't wait to see the official Midnight special channel put this episode up so we can see it in the best quality we can get.
Absolutely!
The lead Lowell was always my slide mam,long before his time ,and a host of talent in the 70s brilliant music, no fancy tecko around just good artist play with there fingers singer songwriters all there one of my lady’s bonnie raitt brilliant slide player some tips from Lowell still playing 2021 bonnie remain supreme some of these artist 2021 still good to listen to.🎸🎸🎸
I was born in 79, I missed the greatest era of music
There's a new age of rock and roll blooming across the world at this very moment, but you won't hear it on radio or see it on TV.
I don’t think you did. There’s great music and great drugs and beer right now in 2021. How we source our music has changed and it isn’t on the usual radio channels. It’s on Bandcamp, Soundcloud and on steaming services like Tidal, Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz (none of which give as much to the artists as Bandcamp does) but it’s out there. From The Comet is Coming to Weyes Blood, via DakhaBrakha, My Brightest Diamond, Joan as Policewoman, John Grant, Boubacar Traore, Dakh Daughters, Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah and thousands more. Open a Bandcamp account, select the types of music you like and dive in.

@@prestwickpioneer3474 I just can't imagine being around when the dead, the Allman brothers and the band were touring. I romanticize about the counter culture movement and music.
, hum never heard of the new ones
I never saw Little Feat, but I worked on a gd album that Lowell George was producing (shakedown st.). He was a great guy and excellent producer. Shame he went so young; he was definitely pushing it.
Guess I'll add that I've seen Little Feat three times, twice in Houston, Texas at the old, and now razed, Music Hall and once at the Paramount Theater on Congress Ave. in Austin, Texas. What a great, great band. I also saw Weather Report in '77 at the same Paramount in Austin. Saw Bonnie Raitt twice, also at the Music Hall. Saw Emmylou Harris twice. Both times at Gilley's in Pasadena, Texas. I'm pretty sure that I also saw Jesse Winchester at Gilley's, but memory fades.
But mainly I wanted to say that when Bonnie Raitt sings the Karla Bonoff penned song "Home" it is just...well, words fail to convey my feelings completely when Bonnie sings this song. This was a great live take. Thanks for posting!
Paramount had awesome acoustics
Read the thread and just had to give a little love to the late, great Jesse Winchester.
Had the pleasure of mixing a show with him here in Telluride around 2004 at our Opera House. 230 seat venue. Perfect place for him. Great show of course.
Rock and Roll Doctor can't be beat!
What a show! I told my kids this was the music in my teenage years. I forget sometimes the amount of talent back then. Glad I grew up when I did. Thanks Earl
Norton Buffalo's harp solo in Runaway was simply superb!
Are you saying that because of the notes he played or because of the harmonica switching gimmick?
@@rjwh67220 He's switching positions as the cords change, I wouldn't call that a gimmick.... and the notes he's playing. The last harp he switched to look like a chromatic. The answer is 'both'.
That was incredible. What a great concert.
@@rjwh67220 -What's so 'gimmicky'? How would you have done it, you know change keys??
@@davidgibbs381 when I played a harp solo on that song back in the day , I just used one harp. It’s not changing keys, it just changes chords. There’s plenty of notes available on one harmonica, especially if you can bend more than two or three half steps and hold them steady, which I can.
LITTLE FEAT, WEATHER REPORT, BONNIE & EMMY LOU!!
As if rock and roll never happened. Coke heads coke heads
You know you’re over the hill, when your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill.....how true for me at my age.....
Yeah, some things won't fill :-D I hear ya'.
quote possibly the best hour I have spent in years. stellar lineup and performances. thanks
What a treat. Happy to admit I have every album these songs came from.
I miss Lowell George.
Huge talent, terrible addictions.
He missed out on so much.
He’s the star that burns too brightly and flames out too soon.
@@chasbodaniels1744 He was here for a good time, not a long time. "Thanks, i'll eat it here".
I just had to burst out laughing with the first song of this set...... Queen of the Silver Dollar....... with Little Feat ( my favorite band, ever!) backing Emmy Lou on a song written by Shel Silverstein...... the principle writer of all of Dr Hook and the Medicine Show's hits..... God Bless Emmy Lou Haris...I love her.
When lowell George sadly passed , the music industry took a hit. I think Bonnie Raitt would have made a great replacement , she got her slide chops from him but I think she also got that singing style as well. Little Feat were one of the best concerts I have seen. Just a thought.
too true
Don't know if Bonnie got her slide chops from Lowell - I think she was playing slide before she met him, but I'm no history buff. Just know that Bonnie was kicking it in the late 60's ... Now I gotta go back in history ! ! !
Watch Bonnie play Sugar Mama - she was doing THAT in the 60's! I think she was just a teen at the time :)
Their slide styles are so similar it's an EZ conclusion to jump to however William Weiler is probably closest. It seems like once you hear and see this style and get the right tuning and practice for endless hours and get your guitar just right and get the electronics dialed in this slide style is the one you shoot for. I'm somewhere along that continuum still trying to get the tone right.The tone that Lowell George and Ry Cooder ended up with come the closest for me.
Well I love me some Lowell and some Bonnie, but if you want to hear some slick slide work, listen to Sonny Landreth! Some of his stuff is almost unimaginable when you listen ....
Back when Real Musicians and singers made Music !
Great shows, great music just as good today as it was back in the day.
Are you kidding me? Examples?
oops...I misspoke. Understand your meaning now SR
How is it possible that Little Feat is not in the Rock Hall? 😎✌❤🎶
Sadly they never will. Their first 3 albums are amazing and didn’t chart! Ask a thousand people if they know Little Feat’s music, maybe 1 or 2 will?
Ask a thousand rock bands.
RnrHOF is a joke.
Even though the music was totally different, the vibe was the same- The Ramones (or Velvet underground) didn't sell jack, but everyone who bought a record started a band. Little Feat rules!
Miss ya LG. And Bonnie is the bonniest lass that ever belted the blues so beautifully. Thanks Earl!
1970's the greatest decade of music in American history. Of course I'm prejudiced went to high school and college during that decade. This is some really high quality stuff on this show.
The 70s were awesome, I was there, but right now across the globe, there is a rebirth of high quality rock and roll, from solid southern to heavy metal, you won't find it on the radio or see it on TV, but it is out there.
That Jesse Winchester number!!!! Moves!!!
What a lineup
Clicked on this for Little Feat and found Bonnie Raitt too! I love Bonnie, she is one of my all-time favorites. Thank you for uploading this!
Great show..little feat such a solid band..and Lowell’s voice
Huh. Real instruments. Played live. On TV. What a concept.
Amazing how little they showed Jaco Pastorius.
I remember reading a NY Times review of a Jesse Winchester concert with the line "On Rumba Man, Mr. Winchester performed an amusing snakelike dance."
Same paper that referred to Meat Loaf as "Mr. Loaf."
good times
This is the best thing ever. I remember watching it just after I turned 18. Some of the best music of my life! There is nothing comparable..
I ran across this by accident. OMG. We were so privileged to enjoy all of this great music.
I saw Bonnie and her band perform around 2018 in a local theater and let me tell you...she can still bring it!
Bonnie Raitt & Emmilou Harrys. Most talented southern beauties
Now that's entertainment ! JACO with WEATHER REPORT, LITTLE FEAT . thanks .
Thank you for making this available. It's my firm belief that musical decades are really offset by about 5 years, and this is the perfect closeout for the '60s. We teetered over the brink into glam rock & disco shortly after this. I was fortunate to live in that era, and got to see most of these guys. Still hoping to see NY, if I ever get to leave the house again....
VOTE!
The government has the last part covered
@@plantfeeder6677 Yep; we finally have some sanity restored, and an actual response to Covid, instead of denials.
The Sixties ended at Altamont.
Emmylou Harris' album "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town" is breathtaking!!!!❤💜🧡💛💚
Old Folks Boogie is sneekilly funky.I love it.
What a great concert. Thanks for sharing.
How I love Bonnie Raitt. She's simply awesome.
Thanks for posting this Earl! If only we could go back for one night when this was produced and sit in that audience. What an incredible lineup!
thank God this is preserved forever!! nothing like it
OMG what a fantastic find, this video!! Incredibly great artists all, but how could anyone not be a Little Feat fan -- it's inconceivable!
I cannot think of any current singers that could be lined up in such show and still be memorable in 40 years.
At that time most bands were a memorable lineup on their own.
Back when music was a story and took real talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
While Bonnie is singing "Runaway," on our far right is Rosemary Butler, whose claim to fame was the cool background and harmony parts in Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty" and "Stay."
I might have actually watched this live on Friday evening, 6/10/1977. Thanks for posting this show, there are snippets also on youtube, its great watching this entire show, I like every single one of these artists and have seen all of them perform live. Many of them are no longer with us.
I know I was watching it back then… I remember Little Feat, and the Neil Young segment
Little Feat is my fave America Music Group......been since I was was 14 old....40 years back.....
I saw little feat and Bonnie Raitt met park Norfolk Virginia Early July 1977. Awesome show. Their plane was late getting in to the concert. They started off saying we don’t drink we don’t smoke Nor folk.🤣
Thanks for sharing this fantastic material.
I live in Norfolk and missed that show due to lack of funds.
Midnight Special is even more heaven sent today than it was then. And their channel here on YT is never a dull moment. When it comes to great music, I'm not ashamed of living in the past. Today's music? It won't stand the test of time like all of this does. I bet Steely Dan had a lot of respect for Little Feat. Just a hunch.
Bonnie Raitt’s harmonica player with those key changes 👍
Norton Buffalo
@@plantfeeder6677 oh - I wondered who that was. I never heard of him. Bonnie sure did though👍
@@plantfeeder6677 Phillip Jackson (September 28, 1951[1] - October 30, 2009),[2] best known as Norton Buffalo, was an American singer-songwriter, country and blues harmonica player, record producer, bandleader and recording artist who was a versatile proponent of the harmonica, including chromatic[3] and diatonic.[4]
Bonnie went out with Jerry Portnoy for awhile.She knows great harp players.
@@ScarlettFire341 interesting - thank you!
This is total FIRE. The entire thing. Bonnie is amazing. They all are.
