Since I think the whole band backed him up on those 2 records and I think even wrote some of the tunes. i could be wrong about the last part.

I was right across the street examining the same grooves. Except I had some Mick Fleetwood going, too; I always had a soft spot for the Brits. : ) But yeah, Jeff was a master drummer, in the true African sense; he felt things the rest of us can barely count. I got a copy of Boz Scaggs' Hits and Silk Degrees not long ago - "Lowdown" still makes my fingertips tingle. That's one thing you can say for drummers - we know how to revere our dead. I also ran across this the other day - http://home.swipnet.se/ml/jeff.html - if you haven't seen it. A complete (I'm assuming) discography. And you know, it doesn't matter if it was plant dust or coke; the man was a treasure. We were lucky to have him when we did. Some of us just aren't meant to hang around for the downside.

It's to cover up more unpleasant noises or help us get through traffic to our destination. i still have pictures and dreams of having a "listening room". An acoustically aprpriate room specifically for music listening. Dan knows about this. We've even talked about it. i still love to just listen. Put my full attention to it.

Heck, I don't like to just listen now. Great insight. Davak Maybe that’s why I don’t feel that I have a lot of creative talent when it comes to music… because I never really learned to listen.
