He really is an amazing person. From The Doobies to Steely Dan, countless session credits, his work as a producer on other people’s records….all the way to his being a consultant to the US Defense Dept specializing in missile defense systems. (He also consults to numerous contractors in the field and has spoken/testified before the US Congressional Intelligence Committee numerous times.)
One of his lesser know gigs was a “super group” he helped form in 1990 that only played a few shows in Japan. Skunk, Keith Emerson, John Entwistle, Joe Walsh and Simon Phillips were all in this short lived band called The Best. They basically did 3-4 tunes from each star’s career…then a few jams on top of that. Pretty wild!!
