Jeff Stern
« on: October 03, 2013, 08:39:47 PM »
I don't want to prematurely excite anybody, but I thnk I have finally found another elusive TWC artist, Jeff Stern. Jeff had two songs on TWC in the late 90's, Forward Motion, and Morning Steps. Neither song has ever been located, and they may be amongst Matt's unknown songs. Anywho, I found him on Linkedin:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jeff-stern/18/bb7/107

I've sent him a message, so we'll see what happens. Just to be clear, I'm not at all sure this is the right Jeff Stern, but it looks to be at least a strong possibility. And of course a response is not at all guaranteed, as we know.  :biggrin:

I believe all my unknowns are from prior to 1996. And I believe we figured out what songs were his by process of elimination. But this would definitely be good news! What made you suspect this was him?

Honestly, just the fact that his name is Jeff Stern and he's a musician lol. And he seems to be the right type of musician too. He's the ONLY Jeff Stern I've been able to find whose a musician.

This week just keeps on getting better!!! This is THE Jeff Stern!!! And he's going to send me his music!!! I don't think he's charging me anything, so if anybody wants it let me know and when I get it I'll send it your way. I suppose PM'ing me your e-mail address would make the most sense.  :biggrin: :dance:

Excellent news, Gary! Always great feeling to track some long unknown/unavailable tunes.

It sounds like it isn't publicly available, hence the reason Jeff is sending it to Gary.

Bryan, if you search YouTube for Jeff Stern Morning Steps you can find an LF video with that song. No luck with Forward Motion though. Matt is correct, it isn't publicly available. And yes, he is mailing me a CD. I haven't yet received any confirmation from him that he's sent it, so when I'll get it I don't know. But when I do I'll let you all know, and send the songs to anybody who wants them.

I listened to Morning Steps and found it to be a good song. Not to change the topic but on a similar note, have you had any luck tracking down Christopher Francis "C.F." Jones? We wish we could grab ahold of "Walk On"

Morning Steps is definitely one of my faves from the late 90's. Wish I could hear a clip of Fast Forward though. Haven't had luck finding C.F. yet, but I'm working hard on it.  :biggrin:

EDIT: I do have an idea when it comes to CF. I noticed, by searching BMI, that he and JEff Stern have something in common. Both are listed with the same publishers, Maui Sun Music and Five String Harp Music. I'm going to ask Jeff if he has any information he could share about CF. Not that he does, but one never knows.

That's excellent! You'll definitely get something there if they share the same publisher. Also his music was used in 1998, and Jones's was used Q1 1999, so there must be some correlation with the two.
