Let me see...John Sebastian played guitar, harmonica, autoharp and wrote
most of the songs, Zal Yanovski (?) played lead guitar I think, Joe
Butler was on drums, and I'm pretty sure Steve Boone played bass.

They had a lot of other good songs: "Summer in the City", "Did You Ever 
Have to Make Up Your Mind", "Six O'Clock", "Younger Girl" (which made
the charts recorded by another group), "Rain on the Roof", "Nashville 
Cats", and others.

You ought to try to get a copy of "The Best of the Lovin' Spoonful",
which has most of the hits.  Tower Records in Mountain View ought to
have it.  If they don't, they have a mail order phone number in New
York, I think.
