Bite.....If I had to look that up I would hand you the keys to The Emerald City....Drummer Jeff Porcaro died suddenly in (I think '91) and was replaced with Simon Phillips!....The "other" brother you mentioned was Steve Porcaro who left the band in 1988 after the release of "The Seventh One" album....he was a Wiz himself with the synthesizers!...Mike Porcaro(bass) stayed with the band until they disbanded in 2008!.....and there you have it!
Bite......Tony Banks is Great also.....Not to familier with Dream theatre...I will give them a listen to.....The first time I saw Toto was in '79...I thought Steve Porcaro was "on somthing" the way he would contort his body while playing the Keyboard....that guy had alot of energy!...and some goofy glasses back then too!..lol

Kendra...Thanks for sharing that story...very polite of you to wait until he got back..LOL..I would have left while he was in the john(if he was a she that is..lol)Boz Scaggs was from the "Frisco" circuit...he actually met the members of Toto there before they formed Toto and played in his band(on the song Harbor Lights also I believe).I would have to say that Styx has a sound somewhat remenicent of Toto...They are also a favorite of mine!Oh, gosh. . . toto. . . I never liked toto and put them in the same category as Styx. Am I wrong?
But, I love Boz Scaggs and my husband and I danced to Harbor Lights (off Silk Degrees) at our wedding!
And, I had a really bad date in San Francisco where Boz Scaggs played prominently (well, in my memory). We went to a restaurant that my date said Boz owned. I'm not sure if that's true or not because I've looked that up since and never found any evidence that he owned a restaurant.
Anyways, my date ordered wine and his hands started shaking. . . i mean, really really shaking. So, I asked him what was up? And, he said he was detoxing himself.
And, silly me didn't even know what that meant back then. . . so I had to ask him to clarify! So, here he was shaking like a leaf sipping red wine to ward of dts. lol. . . then he went to the bathroom and I thought I'd sneak out, but instead I actually waited til he got back from the restroom. Then I got up and left.
