Li'l Rabbit with John 'Rabbit' Bundrick legendary keyboardist for The Who photo courtesy of www.rabbitwho.com As a longtime fan of The Who, this project was such a thrill for me - and would you believe that I didn't know Rab owned a red and black western shirt until I saw this photo? Uncanny, is what I say! When Rab's doll arrived early in the morning, he dug through his closet to find his matching red shirt to pose for a photo for me! (Can you see his pajamas under his shirt :) Thanks for being such a great sport, Rab!!
