@Snowflake2217 Yeah, My favorite song from them is actually kind of obscure, I guess, because it may have not been so popular but Earthbound is my favorite. First heard it on the Weather Channel and later, for some reason I asked a friend if he knew anything about jazz so I played it and he heard 5 seconds of it, turned it off and told me. Needless to say, an hour later, I was listening to it on CD. The rest is history! Love-it, Love-it, Love-it

The first time I heard "The Rips" I was there biggest fan and have been since 1985 and have met all of them on many occasions. Kim is great to hang out with.

@xnightofragex you're so right...I read from Pat Metheny that some of Kenny G's songs are not actually original--that he ripped them off old compositions from earlier artists and changed them slightly..the rippingtons on the other hand were / are *innovators...just hear that positive vibe in their music...it's fresh and distinct



I remember going to that concert!!!
I love Kim Stone!!!! Great bassist of all times.
Love Jeff! I use to go to all of Jeff's concerts in L.A.
Now that I live in Seattle, I hear we are neighbors..hmmmm?
Love Russ & The Ripps~~Miss seeing you all together in Concert!

Shove it on the Cd player in the Car is the best way, keeps you with a cool head in the traffic.
