I have no idea, Seattle...

what concert tickets cost today for the most popular groups. MY choice is FAR from popular. I don't think anyone on this board would even know the main guy I'm going to see. So I think my cost is HIGH.... other than, he's unique.

Jeff Porcaro... great call, Seattle. You nailed it. His "Rosanna Shuffle" is top ten at least, maybe top 5, maybe TOP groove of all time. When "Rosanna" came out I was driving tractor thinning cotton... I had the midnight to noon shift... so I spent the night waiting for the radio station to play it. The next morning I didn't go to sleep... I drove to Fresno to ask my 'drum provider' if he had heard it... he had not only heard it word had spread throughout Fresno, Ca... this guy was STEVE GADD noteworthy. IOW... a legend was born.

I shouldn't brag.... i know... but I can actually play the Porcaro Shuffle. Took me a damn long while however. And to be honest... doubt I can play it today.

The man played 'music'... not just 'technique'... and I have NOTHING against technique.... but I go musicality every time. Jeff had it. - JamesJM
