Will Minting in Italy

Guys,
It was a big pleasure to meet in Italy Will Minting, who came to Italy to meet us, and we spend a wonderful time with him.
Will have written, from 1984 till 2006, most of Toto's official review and amazing interviews.
He told us funny anecdotes from Jeff's time till now...Will is another guy who loves Toto from the deep of his soul.

Minting....!

Will's interview with Steve Porcaro is classic!.

One part of that interview cracks me up-where Steve relates how Jeff would pull prints off the wall in the hotels they stayed in, alter the print, and re-hang it.... having added his own flair to the piece.

Also, Steve related to Will the whole thing with the Rosanna keys solo---I roll when I read that! They went through some real *bleep* getting that together!

T: style of the original artist!

Hey T!
From what I understand of the story---Steve told Will that Jeff would add things to these prints, always careful to stay true to the style of the original print. I wonder if somewhere, there's not a litho of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" or maybe a "Haystacks" with additions! *LOL*

They'd be collectors items.

They'd be collectors items. I'm sure there'd be a few of us here that'd pay a few $$$ at auction for them.

James: a case of....

I read that interview a LONG time ago-and the first question that came into my head after reading about the artistic license taken with those prints was:

"....where are they now?"

My guess?
A storage room in some Sheraton hotel somewhere....collecting dust.

If I knew what prints they were (and I don't); I'd go looking on Ebay.

Ripejack!

The infamous Ripey...is that Lukette with him?? *CHUCKLE* Sorry...just an "incrowd" joke!
A pity he's not on the Network, the guy is a true Toto SUPERgeek, really!!! I miss his Toto knowhow and his interviews & "juicy" tales about the band and related muso's. Not to mention his messing arounds with Sarlic..ah..the good old days!!

Grazie for sharing, guys!

Ciao,
Elly
