Trevor Rabin's new album...amazing ?

Tokai-SA

Where, where, where, I must have it, NOW! ?

Yikes, my Trevor Rabin memories go back decades...about 36 years.
I was at Highlands North High School in 1976.
There was a guy in my class called Zummy Zinman who was friends with Trevor's sister.
Anyway, Zummy comes to school one day and says he's organised Rabbit to do a concert in our school hall.
We laughed and said BS, no ways, not possible...Rabbit, in the height of their fame weren't about to do a concert in the Highlands North Boys high school hall. ?

Well, leave it to Zummy, a week later it was organised.
The day of the concert Zummy organised for a few of us to sit in the hall when Rabbit arrived to setup and do their soundcheck.
I'll never forget it, we sat with Trevor and chatted for a while, watched him setup, sat with him in the hall as he listened to the mix upfront.

That night we were blown away with a rock concert like we've never seen before, and I knew I was watching a musical genius at work.
It was no surprise as the years passed to see Trevor go from success to success, and then finally to the top of the international heap...recognised in the USA as the best of the best.

Last I heard Zummy started a clothing business, moved to Cape Town and made big bucks.

Can't wait to get this album.
