Favorite memory: "Dude, you've got to come over to the record store!"

I end up standing in between Bruford, Wetton, Jobson as the store blasts the brand new record, followed by KC's Red. Where's Allan? "He doesn't do these things."

Later that night, front row table at the Kingfish in Baton Rouge where I stared, slack jawed, at Bruford.
Being a keyboardist, I'd planted myself in front of Jobson - but it was Billy B all the way.

Thanks for the tip though.  Between that and the PF box set I have a lot of ripping to do!

I've only read a couple of entries so far.
