Todd is God...

[janakayz1]

My son begged me to take him. What a hardship hah! I took him out of school and we took a road trip. (only a couple hours) . It was GREAT! And when we got home, he feverishly set about working on his own music for his band, Zero Gravity. It was Inspirational. And of course, a blast.

Good to see Todd still on the beat. I have EVERY one of his records, on vinyl. My Dad was a semi big-wig with Warner, and got all of his albums gratis with the caveat "For promotional use only - Not for sale" A True Wizard, A True Star was my Favorite. It has naked ladies on the inner sleeve. I still have the original copy that I got back in '77. I think that I will go listen to it right now.

I see Todd still gets dressed with his eyes closed.

A very talented, gifted man. Great music for all time.

This guy has written more brilliant music in his life than most of us could ever dream of. Long live Todd!
