Luke was Vary Nice and said he an Bob Bradshaw would Listen to it that Night.Now I have been a Musician all my life and I am 53 and I know somwthime people say Things just to be nice and I am sure the Luke and they guys are Given cds all the time.But Now to my Point .at the Very end of the tune Blaine my Guitar/keyboard player put the Intro to the song 99 as the outro for our tribute song. So I figure even if luke listened to it when it got to the end he Chucked out the window LOL.Sorry luke I did not know till yesterday the you hated that song. I know whats its like to dislike a song.Cuzz I use to have to preform Sweet home alabama every night for about 22 years.AHHHHH any way if you want to here the song that is Our tribute to the Guys its at

Well all I can say is it was worth the 500 Mile trip to see the Best Band on the planet. we Came from Bend,Oregon to see our Musical Hero's and They did not disapoint.The Venue was small but packed and the night was Great! The Band, Steve was amazing and even thou Simon was sick he still gave his all.I loved that you guys did pamala,caught in the ballance, and so many i did not excect to hear.Tony Spinner you got it goin on dude.Thanks for not canceling as we had come a ways to see you and Most band's would have not Played if there drummer had had the flu,but Toto did Not Back down! Greg Nice Keyboard solo.Mike you are the Groovin Gentlman Loved the Braces i have it on video.Bobby a True Insperatation .Luke there is no one who can touch you on Guitar. and I thought it was great that you aksed"How many Musicians are here tonight"Simon I don't know how you made it thru But man if Steve had not told us all about you having the flu noone would have know'n. So Thank you All from the Bottom Of Our Soul's.and then it was over But we,The Lovebrokers waited out back to see our hero's after the show and so did about 50 other fan's. but we were on a mission to give Steve Lukather a CD of a Song Blaine and I had written and produced as a Tribute to Toto."is love the answer" is the name of the song, and we Or should I say Blaine was able to hand the cd to Steve . Steve Said thank you and he and Bob Bradshaw would Have a listen that night. so I guess what else can you ask for right?

So I just got back from Uath and The Toto concert.First let me say They were AWESOME.Simon had the Flu and a Puke buckit buy his kit But Still he Kicked ass .It was a Small Venue But That was cool as we got to be intament and Luke was Crakkin me Up."how Many Musicians are Here tonight""all the Mistake's I Made tonight I Ment"? God Bless you Steve! Tony Spinner stepped up to the Plate and did his Part and More Great Job Tony.Greg You are The Man . Its hard to incapsuleate The whole experiance down to a couple of Paragraph's.So Now I have to say ROAD MANAGER Book TOTO in the Northwest U.S. Oregon and Seatle. I did not Mind Flying 500 + miles to see my Hero's But come on. I live in Central Oregon and Bobby's Been here and I sware There are Lott's of TOTO Fans here as well.
