I wish I could understand half of what Jeff Porcaro plays. Right now I'm just trying to figure out what the hell he is doing on Africa - and I know what he does on Rosanna, but it's frickin' impossible! The guy was as smooth as Bernard Purdie. This is one of those deals where I pick apart a Steely Dan song or something for years, and I never quite nail it, but I develop my own little thing based on the idea.
