You know he got signed for 3 records plus 100k upfront while he didnt have anything yet but a lousy 4 track solo demo.
It was 1 year later before Grace was recorded and that he found a band to play with.
They knew basically nothing about him, he was discovered by playing in Sin-e every week.
Hey Badmunchkin, do you know the song Forget her? If not then download it. It was supposed to be the first single from the Grace album but at the last moment Jeff didnt want to release it. Its an awesome song.
