Missed seeing Fishbone in NoVA. At the time I only knew 1-2 of their songs but respected the slap skills of Norwood. After getting more acquainted with their music, and wish I had made more of an effort.

A truly fascinating guy! There is a newly published (in English) book on him; my pal Rick Rees wrote the forward. Here is a page that shows a tribute to him as well as the book details.

Very cool, I saw that book when I was searching for other pics, but didn't investigate further. For being fairly unknown, his influence is exponential.
Beyond helping The Stones and Yardbirds get off the ground, with everything that emerged from that, plus all the other various Brit R&B influened artists otherwise, he worked with prog bands Soft Machine and Gong(Allan Holdsworth played with both), then the Gong affiliation spilled over to NYC, involving Bill Laswell, who went on to be his own universe of musical connections. It would have been a different world of music without him.

Right, with the exception of Huey and Alex Call. McFee joined the Doobie Brothers two years later in 1979 when Skunk Baxter left, and two years after that rejoined Elvis for the Almost Blue album--his lead and pedal steel work is all over that one, especially the extended version with loads of live tracks and outtakes.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at Hartford, Connecticut Civic Center on April 24, 2009.
There's a great documentary on the making of Almost Blue that shows McFee playing steel guitar among other rolls.
