Toto- Excuse Me?

[Thomas Michaels]

This issue is as silly as Jethro Tull being given the grammy for "best hard rock".

You could play the Six Degrees of Steve Lukather on the original post...

Toto Steve Played with David Paich
David Paich produced Logic "nomadic sands" with Billy Sherwood,
Billy played in the "post Rabin" yes.

Steve Howe played with Dream Theater on Once in a Live Time

James LaBrie played on "Leonardo: The absolute man" with Steve Walsh of Kansas

and on
and on
and on

Let's face it, they are all relatives by marriage.

Tull is my favorite band, but Metallica should have won the Grammy - I laughed my ass off. What people forget is that possibly their weakest effort (Rock Island) wins a Grammy! That awards stuff makes me ill anyway.

Here's one for you - I got a T Lavitz CD with Maria Muldaur singing on one cut.

I hope you can find Toto connections - after all, they were just a bunch of session guys. I'm sure they played with a lot of people.

Wow! Tom that was very good.

OK can anyone name (2) keyboardists who rehearsed with YES but never joined. Both of them are quite well know among us Progheads.

I know Jim Chricton of Saga did most of the loads and tweaks for the Union shows...

I believe Jordan Rudess was in the wings waiting...

Vangelis was also waiting in the wings at one time.

Eddie Jobson was originally in the 90125 band instead of Tony Kaye. Most of the keyboard playing on 90125 is either Jobson or Rabin, not Kaye. He was replaced by Kaye before the album came out. But if you watch the "Owner of a Lonely Heart" video very closely, you can see Eddie Jobson in a bad edit. They even made the video with Jobson! - that's how late in the game Kaye came in. Slow down the video and look at the edge of the screen in the background behind Trevor, and there's Eddie.

Tony Kaye for constantly being replaced, or Eddie Jobson for having to play such uninteresting keyboard parts. Aside from "Hearts", I can't think of a Kaye lead that's of any value.

[Yesspaz]

that's harsh! I thought there were some decent little keyboard parts on there. "Our Song" is great. Anyway, don't forget that "Cinema" was originally a 20 minute jam. I'd love to find that thing. I'm sure Jobson was all over it, and that's why it's still not released - not "official." Here's hoping that the Rhino reissues will have that plus the "Twelve Inches On Tape" remixes.

I guess I won't be getting an XMAS card from Mr. Kaye!
