    Highway To Hell, James Bond Theme, Twilight Zone, Manic Depression...
    Another day in the studio.

    I love seeing Jeff and Steve smile.
    Jeff will always be in my memory because he was the first drummer to really open my ears.
    Some drummers just make noise, Jeff was a real musician.

    • @wbrockstar9550
      @wbrockstar9550 Рік тому +1

      The only thing that was important to the members of Steely Dan,in the studio,was a great drum track and amongst all session drummers,Jeff was the best at it without a doubt.That statement just goes to show just how gifted,respected and professional he was out of all the union guys during his decades of work. On check pickup day,Jeff's stack was always 10 times taller than everyone else's.What a pro and what a huge loss.IMO,the loss of Jeff in the session community was equivalent to the loss of Eddie Van Halen in the live music community.

    Still hard to believe Jeff has been gone nearly 30 yrs and Toto never got to perform as a band ever again. Jeff's widow , Susan , put a stop to the band. She remarried a few years after Jeff passed . Remarried to a millionaire but the band can't even go by Toto and try to make a living. I remember reading Steve saying he can't even mention her name for fear of being sued by her again !
