suffice it to say that wah wah (aka melvin ragin) is everywhere... he's
been
on so many records, *he* probably couldn't tell you everyone he's played w/.

on a different tip, did you also notice ray parker jr (ghostbusters) on that
herbie album? before reaching 80s pop stardom, he actually had a
respectable
career as a jazz guitarist. can anyone confirm the rumor that he's charlie
"yardbird" parker's grandson?
