   As I recall, RF was called in to sessions for the boys but at the time   
   was doing large volumes of "Peruvian Marching Powder" and wasn't deemed   
   suitable. I think you may be right about the Aja video.   
      
   It's a shame, because he (if the above rumour is true) has certainly   
   cleaned up his act and continues to put out album after album of serious   
   quality. Have seen him several times and he always puts out big time.   
   The last time I saw him was with Larry Carlton's blues band, and he   
   mostly took a back seat to LC, with the exception of a few numbers. The   
   music that night was certainly jazzier than we had seen from him before.
