Stevie's band through the years

[DashingDan]

I thought Jai Winding was a very good keyboard/Piano player. He had cool hair during the RAL tour, looked like he belonged in Prince's band at the time, The Revolution.

I suspect that Stevie is more of a "people person" than a "musician's musician" in that she goes with her gut when it comes to choosing musicians. Whether it's the way they look, the smile, the personality, etc. That's the only way I can fathom why she would utilize musicians who are so inexplicably bland (Brett Tuggle, Carlos Rios), idiosyncratic (Rick Vito, Waddy Wachtel), or just plain bizarre (Cat Gray).

You're forgetting Marty Greb and his magic pants. I wish I had a photo.

Yes. He was.

He ended up being the musical director on some late night show. His work on some of the Street Angel songs was nice. Although I can honestly say I think he's better suited to the studio than being a live player.

EVERYBODY back then looked like they belonged in Prince's band...except maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Even Clapton!!

Drummer Russ Kunkel was MD. And, Rick Vito was lead guitarist.

It's time that she hired me to play keyboards/piano for her. We would totally rock out. I WOULD MAKE SURE that she added some of the songs her fans REALLY want to hear. What do you all say?

As soon as she hires me to play guitar, you'll be "in".

I second that...never liked him, he annoys the hell out of me, and I am thankful to have been on Waddy's side for every Stevie show I have ever been to! (and thankful he cut that god aweful hair)

I have a vhs of a show from the Enchanted Tour where he played lead on EO17 and he was playing it so fast Stevie was messing the words up (Voice of a poet, words of a choir) she kept looking over at him like SLOW IT THE FUKC DOWN!
