Song pilot is a good CD.

O'Brien was in Little Texas

Agree 100%.

In fact, O'Brien's CD, "Song Pilot" (Published 2001 by Flight Song
Records) is an entire CD of flying songs written by O'Brien, an
aerobatic pilot, EAA and AOPA member, and former member of the group
"Little Feat". We played that disk in our hotel lobby (on shuffle play
with 4 other disks) continuously for almost two years, until our
small-but-vocal staff threatened to mutiny if they heard it again!

Interestingly, I just noticed (after a search) that Little Feat's
current CD is called "Barn Stormin'" -- even though O'Brien isn't with
them anymore. I wonder if they all fly?

When exactly was O'Brien in Little Feat? 1965-1969?

Well, that figures! Judging from the "'Loon's" postings in this NG, I
would expect that he is "Rocky Mountain High" most of the time!

Damn, another one down in "my waters" : Peconic Bay, Long Island. I
think the hit by Queen, "Another One Bites the Dust" is deserving of
consideration.
