Jeff Porcaro passed away. Seems like yesterday.
What's some of your favorite Jeff Porcaro stuff? Of course....everyone says ROSANNA....but is there anything else you like?
And..... if you really don't know who he was or what he did - and how significant he was to drumming...maybe some of the older members of OLD can help educate the younger drummers in this thread.
