Great respect for this man who kept the Little Feat music on track after Lowell's death and therefore allowed me, the next generation of musician, to find it. It has probably influenced me more than any other band. The music is timeless and I never get tired of hearing it, unlike so many other styles, bands and forms. Billy is a big part of that, with his amazing chops and ear, always delivering the comps which have come to define Little Feat music. Adding a perfect fill when the song needs it and supporting the song and other performers so well, rarely playing flashy or hogging the spotlight. Thanks Mr. Payne, you are the giant who's footsteps we are now trying to walk in. Lotsa Aloha to you.
Having met him several times, there is no one in music that is more down to earth and unassuming as Billy Payne. It's great catching his shows with Little Feat or running into him when he is back at home in the U.P. of Michigan. Catch Little Feat in concert. They are the ultimate jam band.
so down to earth!
Billy rules - as a musician, but even more importantly, as a human being.

"unendless"-only an artist could coin such a word.

They tour 'cause it's part of their job. By the way, Elvis is just dead.
