Ah well, here I am at...

Hey everyone, I have a couple of quick questions regarding this awesome song. First of all, if my memory serves me correctly the whole prelude to Train, Train was written and performed by Shorty Medlock? Question 1: Does anyone happen to know what particular tongue articulations/chuggin...
