David Paich

We talked shop with David Paich in our recent interview, Destined for Success. In this episode, we’ll devote much of our dialogue to a topic that’s very close to David’s heart… and maybe yours. We’ll be talking about Jeff Porcaro. If there’s anyone who can share wonderful insight on Jeff life, it’s Dave. Join us as Dave and a special guest help us unlock “Jeff” memories that will truly leave you smiling, laughing, and even learning a little more about a man who was “one of the greatest” drummers ever. From high school to Silk Degrees to TOTO, we’ll take you on a journey that will surely take you back to Jeff’s beginnings and end where a legend begins. Our guest once more is David Paich.

My thanks and compliments for your site and efforts! The Paich podcasts were genius. I loved the Sklar and Ready Freddy casts too.
It is my hope that you will continue the Paich/Porcaro casts. There are a lot of folks who would love to hear more Jeff stories fromPaich and Page. Also, It would be great to hear these guys weigh in on Carlos Vega (just a thought). Thanks again for the site andthe cool interviews.
Cheers
Thanks for responding to my comments on the David Paich interview. I'm in Edinburgh - quite a way from the US, but have been a big fan of the 'session' scene for a long time. Here, unfortunately, it's not too often we get the chance to see any of these guys doing their thing live, but I've manage to catch up with a quite few. Also, I've seen Toto quite a few times and had the privelige of witnessing Jeff live - twice. He was just the best - full stop. Apart from Simon, also saw Gregg Bissonette and Lenny Castro play drums with the band. (Lenny and Jeff swapped places for one of the encores in London on the Toto 4 tour - they rocked! Tim Schmitt sang backing vocals that night too)
The Paich interviews were a revelation and I'm sure you could do many more with him and not let it get boring.
Thank you so much for what you are doing and I look forward to listening to David Pack and whoever else you guys manage to pin down!
Best of luck for the future.
