It made a cool commercial for disc jockey school, but it was a fine instrumental in its own right, Everybody knew this song. Frank Zappa did a hilarious cover of it called "Does Thi Kind of Life Look Interesting to You?" Check it out!
Not a complaint, but I wish they'd showed at least one close-up of Duck's face. The only one he got was of plucking his bass strings at 1:11. Better than nothing, I guess. JohnStuartWade said they're not the same without Jackson. True, but here I think they have a quite capable replacement in Anton Fig. You may remember him as the drummer on "Late Night with David Letterman" in the 80s.
These Gents are tight..., and real as they come,true talent. The first time I saw them, when they played my freshman year Spring Dance 1966 at FVSC (then), FVSU (now), this sound playing now is one of favorites. Thanks so much for the memories, you are the Walter Cronkite on Utube. You bring nothing but best, it just keep on coming! Don't let nothing stop you. Bless you!
Barfly!

Anton Figg is no slouch, does Al proud. Ending kinda weird, but you can't fade live.

I was the onion in the Green Onions.
Our tribute to the immortal Booker T. Washington is often played at college night clubs in Toronto. By the way, you can see me here under the stage.
