when Jeff is laughing is from following time:
"The Wild Blue Yonder
I was trying to have a career as a bass player, but I'd been writing tunes all along. In 1987 and 1988 I started to write for a band I'd front myself, as the previous couple of bands I'd tried to put together always fell prey to the whims of singers. What came out surprised me as much as anybody. I'd always been a fan of roots music, but the 'twang' caught me off guard. I decided to go with it because it felt so comfortable and the songs were just flowing. Jeff Buckley was living with me at the time (September of 1987 through spring of '88). He was great to bounce tunes off. I'd met Jeff at Musicians Institute where I had previously taught bass. He had finished school and was concentrating on studying music on his own. I was 10 years older than Jeff.
Late in 1988 I recorded the first demo at Arnold Mitchem's 4 track studio in Sylmar with Jeff on some guitar (solo on The 'L' Word) and back up vocals (I had to talk him into singing!), Keith Wyatt on the rest of the lead guitar, myself on bass, rhythm guitar, and vocals and a drum machine. In late 1988 Jeff signed on to play guitar in the band and we started rehearsing with Danny Carey on drums (I met Dan while we were both working for a Hollywood audio/video company called Ametron) but by mid 1989 Jeff decided he needed to work on his own thing. Jeff stayed on until we could find another guitar player.
....
(Jeff finished the first demo of his own music in the summer of 1990- the 'Babylon Dundgeon' tapes. I was floored. I hope you get to hear them someday. The guitar solo on Eternal Life is amazing.)
....
Jeff went on to record and tour 'Grace' before tragedy struck."
