Actually I had forgotten what a jerk that guy can be. I got hired to do some
gigs with Allen Toussaint and Michael Goods (his keyboard player at the time
and currently out with the Neville Brothers and also the guy who tirned down
an audition to tour with Janet and Yes, but I digress as usual). We did a
show for Artists Against Hunger and Homelessness (not the year I went to see
Joni there) and we rehearsed in the studio a few times and then did the
show. Paul was not very friendly and always seemed wound up like he might
have had a powder or sumthing. At the end of the run of the gig, I asked him
to sign my copy of sheet music for the Late Night Theme (the original one).
He did, but sort of grudgingly. He signed YEAH! Paul Schaffer
Paz
NP-Eight Miles High-Byrds Sessions Outtakes (yes Kakki I will be dubbing for
ya soon)
