i'd love to hear the songs also even if they didn't air on TWC

They did air, I assure you. I wouldn't think that anyone would know Jeff's music better than Jeff himself would. I've sent Jeff a short clip of the song that we THOUGHT was his, and when I hear from him I'll let you all know what he tells me.

I didn't mean it like that Gary  i was just implying that i would like to listen to the songs. hopefully they are ID'ed soon.

I guess I jumped the gun a bit. Sorry about that. Unfortunately several people have made such a comment and meant it. I've worked my butt off for a long time (years) trying to track down Jeff, and when I finally get his music people think the songs are wrong. I would hope that Jeff would know his own music. Could it be possible that maybe (gasp!) WE are wrong? Regardless, I want to hear Jeff's side before I draw any conclusions.

As an added note, Chuck (Buckeyefan) also listened to the songs and didn't recognize them  either. Clearly, something isn't right since three of the most knowledgeable people on this forum (myself, Matt, Chuck) don't recognize the songs. But let's not go making assumptions without knowing the facts.

The songs are attached to this message for anyone wanting them. Remember, they have Jeff's titles, not TWC's.

Well I've heard from Matt, and he does not recognize any of the songs. That means that the song that we thought was Morning Steps is evidently, in fact, not. Which means that getting Jeff's music only created more mysteries, rather than confirming what we thought we already knew.

Great new guys, I DID get the CD today! For some reason it wasn't delivered by the regular mailman with the rest of my mail. So here's the deal..there are 3 songs on the disc, and none are named using TWC's names. Only one of them sound familiar. I think I'll send them to Matt for identification (since I surely have no clue, and since we only knew of 2 songs that TWC used in the first place), and then once I know which song is which i'll send them to those who want them.

Sorry guys but I haven't gotten the CD yet. I was afraid this would happen. For some reason mail coming from California (where Jeff is) always seems to take an extra day or two. Maybe I'll get the CD on Monday. I'll let you all know.

One other note to add to this...he also mentioned that he is not familiar with the other TWC artists that I mentioned had the same publishing company as him. So much for that idea I guess.

I received an e-mail from Jeff today. He says he sent the CD out today, so I should have it by Friday or Saturday more than likely.

Also, Matt I have his e-mail address and web address if you'd like to add them to your artist information page. His website is: http://www.jeffsterndrummer.com/. I'll message you his e-mail if your interested.

Hey guys, haven't received anything from Jeff yet, nor have I heard from him anymore since he told me he'd try to get the CD out by the end of last week. Hopefully I'll either recieve the CD or hear from him again soon.

How many songs did Stern compose for TWC?

As far as I know just two, which were played in April 98.

Just wanted to add a little something. It turns out that there are, in fact four artists that share those two publishers that I mentioned Stern and Jones had in common. It seems that Steven Saltzman and Dave Morgan have the same two publishers listed in their BMI profiles. I'm really intrigued by this. Is it simply coincidence? Is there something more in common between these 4? I'm hoping Jeff Stern can shed some light. 

EDIT: Make that 5 people. Richard Tyznik has the same two publishers.

Got an email from Jeff this afternoon. He says he's going to send out the CD as soon as he can, but it m I ght not be til the end of the week because he's busy. So now we know where we stand. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.
