The song is Little Hands by Alexander ‘Skip’ Spence of San Francisco’s own Moby Grape and the Jefferson Airplane. The musicians are featured this week in Becks Record Club. The original version is on the 1969 album Oar, one of the most notorious solo albums ever made

the original members of Moby Grape and the Doobie Brothers came together to perform another song by Skip Spence, never actually recorded on any album called Dark Magic at his memorial a few years ago in Santa Cruz. The memorial concert was recorded by only 5 people, including myself here at Bluoz and never was released to the public. It still has to get approval by Skip Spence’s son, Omar Spence, (and Skips estate administrator, hats off to the mighty LQ…hehe) to release all the tapes to the public, but the one song, Dark Magic, was released earlier here on this blog as It Crawled From the Vault #10 The entire memorial concert was recorded at the Brookdale Lodge in 1999, just after Skippy died
now you know some of, theeee rest of the story
Don’t ever tell me that younger musicians don’t appreciate the previous generation (their forefathers music, grandpas music)
They certainly do…yes indeed
