Chords for Bobby Kimball Gives His Side the NAMM Steve Lukather Meeting

_ _ [F#] _ [D] _ _ _ Remember when ex-Toto [F#] lead singer Bobby [A] Kimball ran into [D] Toto's Steve Lukather at NAMM this year?
Well, Bobby Kimball gives his side of that story.
I'm John [A] Boone from Rock History Music.
[D] It was fun [F#m] to talk, on Skype that is, [D] with the original lead singer of Toto, Bobby Kimball,
[A] who has nothing but love [D] when he comes to [F#m] talking about any former member or current [D] member of [F#m] Toto.
They ran into each other thanks to _ Bobby Kimball's producer and co-writer, John Zeka.
_ He found [E] [F#m] out that Luke was at NAMM.
He's there with Bobby.
So he basically gets them together, takes some pictures, they shake hands, give [D] hugs,
[F#m] and everything seemed really, really [Bm] good.
We asked Bobby Kimball about that meeting and about his relationship [F#m] with Steve Lukather.
_ Actually, I haven't seen Steve in seven or eight years.
_ And, _ you know, it's just _ _ not seeing someone that you care about for a very long time.
And, well, actually, [E] there were a [F#] lot of people that were big fans [G] of his that, you know,
[D] they were saying some bad things about me.
But, [Bm] you know, _ Steve [G] _ told me [D] when I saw him at the NAMM show, I gave him a big hug and I said,
I love you.
And he said, I love you too, [Gm] brother.
And that was super [D] fun for me.
_ _ [Bm] _ I can't tell you how great it was.
[G] _ _ _ [D] Well, you know, as I told you the first time [A] I talked to you, there's just,
_ I [F#m] don't know anyone who doesn't want a universe where Bobby Kimball and Steve Lukather [E] are enemies.
I think there are [A] some troublemakers in [B] every group, but I don't think [F#m] people want you guys to be,
Hey!
We're enemies.
_ _ _ _ Well, that's [F#] _ awesome.
Look at your face.
[D] Now, [F#m] I have a video a friend sent me that Steve, _ actually, [G#] this picture came up first on the video.
And [A] then Steve started [D] talking on the microphone.
They asked him about [A] me and he said, love [D] him.
And that was so fantastic.
It was great to see Steve because I just, you know, I care so much about the way he plays.
[F#m] _ We [D] were the [F#m] beginning in Toto.
_ _ I remember, I remember the very first night.
_ I have, _ oh my God, down on the floor [B] next to me, I have [F#] this huge, [D] it's a CD player [F#] and a double cassette recorder and everything.
[D]
Well, I had it in 77, 1977 [F#m] when Toto was in, the six members of Toto were in the same room at the very, very first time jamming. _
Well, I was 29 years old.
Okay.
Were you, I just did a thing on the ages of all the members on the best of Toto.
I'm going to tell you, [G] Steve Lugather at the time was [D] 19. _ _
I'm 10 years older than he [Bm] is.
And my [G] God, when I heard him [D] playing that, _ _ _
[B] _ we [Bm] did, _ [Am] actually [G] we did a little bit, [D] just, they weren't songs.
But we [Am] did a [Bm] little bit of hold the line.
[G]
We did a little [D] jam on, on _ [A] girl goodbye and a couple of other songs.
[F#m]
But [E] the, [F#m] the solo in the middle of that jam of girl goodbye, _ my [G#] God, it was one of the best guitar things I have ever heard in my [F#m] life.
And I've constantly told Steve, this is the best buddy.
I said, when we record that song, _ you should take this, this cassette and [E] do the [D] same [B] solo on there.
He [A] didn't, but [D] oh my God, to me, the solo [A] on, on that first jam [F#m] when he was 19 [D] is better than the solo on the first.
_ We're going to have a lot more [F#m] from Bobby Kimball talking about the old total stuff and his brand new album, which is going to be released on Cleopatra records in the US on March _ 31st.
It's called We're Not in Kansas Anymore.
I'll also be doing a review on the album.
It's his best solo album yet.
You just, when you think it's just like total, just when you think that they're going to downshift a little bit and kind of coast [Bm] because they've been doing what they do for so many [F#m] years.
Total [F#] releases total 14 couple of years [D] ago, their best, one of their best albums in years.
And I think this [F#m] is Bobby's best album as well.
So everyone's happy.
I'm glad they're shaking hands.
I'm glad they're getting along.
As I, as I told Bobby in the interview, I don't think anybody, unless you're a jerk, I don't think anybody wants them to fight.
People want them to get along.
And of course I've reported this, but total is working on a big 40th anniversary album.
They've unearthed some tracks, four or five [G] tracks in the studio that they're going to finish [D] that they had in the vaults.
It looks like Jeff [Bm] Picarro will probably be on some of those [G] songs and we're going to talk to Steve Lucas there a little later on and get [D] some updates.
_ Steve, you promised me some interviews.
Anyway, we're going to [G] be talking to him a little later on.
We [D] want to know what's happening with the total album as well.
So it's so exciting.
[Bm] Total doing shows [G] really, really a few this year [D] and mostly festival shows.
[A] And of course, a big tour the following year.
So it's a good [F#m] time to be a total fan.
I'm John Bowden.
