The fact that Joseph Williams, David Paich and I wrote most of the record, and the fact I invited many of the old ToTo gang to come and play, brings all this together.

It also proves that most of my old pals and I are still great friends, and I wanted to do a record 'in the style of,' as ToTo will never record another studio album.

This is as close as we will get."
