My intro to him was about '64. 'Fingertips' was on the jukebox at the
snack bar where I used to surf. (Barber's Point, Oahu). I would play it over and over.
Lots of stuff that may seem tame these days was wild and crazy back when......





Our band does a version of 'Higher Ground'.
Stevie's later compositions have great horn parts (think 'Sir Duke
Great arrangements.
