Keys also played his sax on Leo Sayer's "When I Need You"...

And how I never saw his name in the credits on Leo's Endless Flight album, yet saw him credited--or referenced--on a comp I had, I'll never know...

Uh, it's Ian McLagan, not McLauen. McLagan moved here to Austin back in the 90's and played with a lot of groups here.

Austin has attracted a few musicians recently. Joey Kramer (Aerosmith) has moved outside of Austin - I got to meet him at a sandwich joint on my route where I eat lunch. Robert Plant was living here for a while while he was dating singer Patti Griffin. They split up so I'm not sure if he's still here or not.
