Who is the girl singing? Is it Mary Lee?

[manfrommu]

The girl singing in this clip was folksinger Connie Butler who opened up for a few of MU's L.A. concerts in 1972 . She was MU drummer Randy Wimer's girlfriend for a few years. Sadly she died of a drug overdose in the mid 90's.

America's best kept secret; this man has done wonderful music for over 45 years and an Hall Of Fame is too little for him!

[totalstranga]

[mmbrunelle]

Thank you for documenting this back in 1972!

[kynoceph]

Nice to see Jeff Cotton after his escape from the Magic Band looking so happy. Wish there was sound from this gig.
