Thank you all for your Birthday wishes. I really appreciate hearing from you, and I plan to have a great day today. I'm taking a little time off now to work on my Solo CD, and do my best to get it finished now. Soon, I'll try to post some of the sound-clips on my web page, so you can get an idea about what the music will be like. I've had so much fun recording it so far, and to finalize it will be a (long-time-coming) dream of mine.
As I said, I visited Mike this afternoon, and had the best time ever. we sat in his back yard and talked over old memories of all the years of touring and recording with Toto. There were moments that almost brought tears to both our eyes, but for the most part, we spent our time together laughing about the greatest, and most fun times we shared on the road together. We even told some jokes, and about 90% of the time I was there, he had a big beautiful smile on his face. It made me feel so great to see him smiling, and enjoying himself.
I was honored to be inducted into "The Louisiana Musician's Hall of Fame" a couple of weeks ago. They sent me this photo that will be posted on the web site. I'm very proud to be amongst some of my special music heroes there now. It was a fun night, and I got to play with "Louisiana's Leroux", which was a band I helped put together (and Fergie sang with them after I left the band to come out to LA and sing with Toto) It was so nice to see some of my old friends again, and a great time being in the presence of some of Louisiana's finest players and singers.
I am involved with a children's organization called Five Acres. They are having their annual fund raiser auction and I have donated a Yamaha custom 5-stiring bass built for me in Tokyo to the auction. It is signed and also put in a signed photo. Jackson Browne has donated a guitar also. Many things on the auction site. Check it out and throw down for a great cause. All the best wishes to everyone.
