That sound you referred to is a chainsaw, played by Phil Collison, a member of the NRBQ road crew.10:22am : Listening in Rio de Janeiro
Rest in peace, Tommy

I have a VHS tape of NRBQ Playing with John Sebastian at the Wax Museum in DC in 1982. I think NRBQ released an audio CD of that show, but my VHS tape has the entire performance. I remember at one poit John Sebastian fell backwards over a monitor during one song, and got up and said "What a pratfall".4:25pm : Thanks Bob, this playlist is a terrific survey of NRBQ and friends, and a fitting tribute to Tom.
