This is one "Crazy Train" that doesn't go off the rails.

Met John Mayall. Had drinks with him. He very well might/may have played this. Or maybe his wife, Maggie would have. She's got/had an all-girl band called Maggie Mayall and the Cadillacs that kicked some butt.

Love the music, accompanying vocals/lyrics are weak/annoying though

The beginning of this song sounds like another that I know from the late 70's.  Anybody else get that?  I don't remember which group or song so any help to answer this question would help me get it out of my head.

Thanks in advance.

Uuuhhh, one of the waifs needs to be shaved, no?

 
A waif (from the Old French guaif, stray beast)<1> is a living creature removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from his original surroundings. The most common usage of the word is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of the same.

As noted, describes Josh well.

Saw these guys/gals perform this at a festival accompanied by two other groups jamming with them. The newcomers had never heard the track but they all had such fun together the other stages had to stop because people were streaming over to see what the fuss was all about after 20 minutes. Yep, 30 minute marathon.

But for your edification, Christopher Walkin is really tired of people on the internet beating that gag to death by referencing that skit and wants us to stop.

And by Christopher Walkin, I actually mean me, but I thought it might hold more weight if I attributed it to him.  :(

Ha ha! When I read that I looked to see if you were, in fact, Christopher Walken. Alas ... But his More Cowbell skit is one of his funniest contributions to contemporary culture and I suspect he enjoys the references.
 
"More cowbell" is one of the most recognizable memes in recent pop culture history. . .

I have enjoyed everything by The Waifs that I've heard here on RP. Fresh young voices picking up the threads of a solid musical tradition.
