David is something else. But its the sum of all parts that make Toto what Toto is. Through the tragic loss of two amazing musicians the managed to continue making incredible music, and it was all because they are equally talented and incredible and there's no ego.
It is great to see him playing again. I went to Chaminade College Prep with David. I found him to be very personable and easy to perform with. In 1972 before we graduated he was already doing work for various artists. When we were coming close to graduation he took it upon himself to produce a senior concert with the best musicians and vocalists he could find in the graduating class. I was fortunate that he asked me to sing a song.. So I sang CYSN's "Long Time Gone" and he was kind enough to play backing piano for me. To this day I am thankful I performed with him. I have heard that he got the idea for 'Africa' after speaking with one of the priests at the school. about what Africa was like doing missionary work. I'm guessing that was one of our class members who had become a priest.
Toto, always in my playlist. To sir David Paich, I am pretty sure those hands are insured. One of the best piano player in the music industry and a great singer/song writter. Your musical contribution is priceless.
Yeah. That's a lot of hardware sitting on that piano. I've only seen and held 1 Grammy award in my life. He's got 6 and an Emmy award. That's pretty amazing.
EL genio e interpretación de David Paich a su edad es inconfundible. Siempre disfrutaré su música y conocer su historia además de escuchar a la mejor Gran banda musical de los '70 ,80 Toto
a real Music God!!!! Master Paich inspired so many musicians around the world for decades, through different generations (my parents, me and my children sing Africa, as ever lasting song, each one Toto’s fan independently, lol)
What a joy! I could listen to him run through his songs all day long. Of course, it could take years to get through them all. Thanks so much for the music, David.
Love during Hold the Line, Jeff opens the hi- hat “hold the line……love isn’t always on time (opens hi- hat). I know to some it don’t mean much, but I thinks it’s genius. Jeff was like a machine
What I noticed (as a piano player) is that his piano cover and music stand is permanently in the closed position and staged with pictures and decorations. Sheet music anyone? Nah- that’s for amateurs! His ear and memory must be so incredibly sharp to create and remember all his great works!
