    I really liked your channel and this video. If you need any help getting this video exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position. Its nice.

    I like what i watched.

    Not necessarily. Ruth Underwood and Ed Mann, Zappa’s two main percussionists, were definitely on the same performance level as Evelyn.
