Im in the south bay (redondo, hermosa, manhattan). dont play any instruments but if you get an RIU jam session together i can definitely swing thru and jump on the mic (sing/rap)
I like to play it. I think Jam and Lewis were absolutely great in the 1980s. In the late 80s, LA and Babyface were decent but they sounded like a weaker watered down version of Jam and Lewis. And they have had more hits with a larger variety of artist.
