...Bonnie Raitt. Bonnie's supposed to be out in L.A., recording a third album with one of the West Coast's finer unknown rock bands, Lowell George's Little Feat. And she's putting together ideas for a series of inexpensive, community-oriented concerts. So she doesn't get east much, and she gets to Boston even less. Which makes it that much more imperative that you make it to Tufts this weekend.

Fred Lappin, the band's drummer, is amazing in his second year of playing drums, and his first band. Previous work for Fred includes occasional performances with Bonnie Raitt in Boston. Larry Coben on harmonica, an astoundingly agile player, is a student at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. "In a year, we'll be as good as the James Montgomery Band was last year," Larry says. "All the musicians (in the present band) will want to move...
