"More Cowbell!"

Today in rock history, in 1973, Grand funk Railroad hits #1 with “We’re An American Band.” If you’ve ever seen Christopher Walken’s famous Saturday Night Live sketch imploring Will Ferrell and Blue Oyster Cult that he needs “More Cowbell,” you’ll know that this song embodies the spirit of that request. Here is my band North of Nowhere’s version of this song, taped live at the Ugly Mug, Farmington, MN, on 5-15-09. Thanks to http://rockhall.com/story-of-rock/today-in-rock/ for the info, and keep on rockin’, and please, more cowbell!
