For all the Weckl Fans...
Back in the mid 90's ('94, I think), actor Charles Grodin took over a talk show that was on one of the cable news channels (MSNBC, maybe?).
He ended up hosting it for a number of years and it was quite popular.
In one of the early episodes, Grodin invited Jose Feliciano onto the show and, mixed in with the interview, Jose played some of his more well-known songs.
I remember one segement started off with "Affirmation" and right in the middle of it, he pulled one of slickest segues I've ever seen....right into "Light My Fire".
The whole piece lasted about 5-10 mintues and it was a truely memorable performance.
The drummer playing with Feliciano that night was Dave Weckl.
Some of the slickest, funkiest, "groovin-est" drumming I've ever seen...and all on this tiny little bop kit he brought.
If any of you can find a copy of that show, or even just the "Affirmation / Light My Fire" performance, watch it.
Truly some classic TV goin' on that night that I won't soon forget and featuring Dave Weckl at, probably, his best ever.
