    Jaco Pastorius Quotes: "rhythm is the whole deal" - "music is the only thing keeping the planet together" - "musicians are the nicest people in the world" - "A chimpanzee could learn to do what I do physically. But it goes way beyond that. When you play, you play life." - "I am not here to raise hippy consciousness, I am here to wet some panties."

    Yay Jaco. Listened to Joni Mitchell with Pat and Jaco today as well as old Pat. What a great soul, ol' Jaco. God Bless Him.
