Toto was straight up loaded with talent. Luke and (Jeff) Porcaro were arguably the best session guitarist and drummer in that L.A. scene at the time they were also running Toto.

They were Quincy Jones' secret weapons and, in particular, they "fixed" a lot of the Thriller production challenges that came up, especially "Beat it."

And, Luke is one of the most down to Earth guys and best storytellers of that era as well.

He is touring with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. Going to see them in North Little Rock October 12. Each band member typically performs three of their hits.

I had the thought a month or so ago that I would like to see Ringo if I had the chance, and they announced that date. They're not coming anywhere else close to here except Thackerville, OK.

Ringo is 82, so you might not want to wait for the next tour.
