California Weekends - Part 2

Well I'm going out west where I belong

And I walk and they walk. I twist and they twist. And I shimmy and they shimmy. And I fly and they fly.
Where they're out there having fun in the warm California sun.

He has many albums that were produced from 1990-2000. And currently, he's with a band called Focus Trio that features Marc on keys and synth, Sameer Gupta on drums and tabla, and David Ewell on double bass.
