I have the 3CD set of the tribute concert done for him back in 1993. It's a brilliant set with guest appearances from Michael McDonald, Donald Fagen, Denny Dias (the dude who played the electric sitar solo on Steely Dan's <i>Do It Again</i>), Eddie Van Halen, and a regular cornucopia of other performers. The love and respect they had for Jeff really shone through.<br /><br />Jeff's epitaph is actually a Toto song lyric:<br /><br />"Our love doesn't end here<br />It lives forever on the wings of time"<br /><br />It's from the song <i>Wings of Time</i> on Toto's <i>Kingdom of Desire</i> album-- the last album Jeff recorded with Toto before his untimely passing.<br /><br />Jeff also came up with the band name Toto-- the TRUE story is "en toto" is Latin for "In Total" or "All-encompassing" the priciple behind Toto's music was that it would be all encompassing.<br /><br />Most of the other stories about the origin band's name came from guitarist Steve Lukather who got so sick of being asked how the band got its name that he would make stuff up on the fly to tell the music press which they often believed hook line and sinker!Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.com
