FULL TIME WORK AGAIN and JEFF LORBER

As I said in Previous Post, I was Working about 2 or 3 Nights Per Week, when I First Started my New Job at “King’s Casino” but that soon Changed to more Nights, and then I remember going into Work one Night and was Told the “Second Chef” had Left!

This Worked out right for me, as they took on a New Second Chef and I was asked by “Peter” to do more Shifts, this I Accepted!

The New Second Chef was a chap by the Name of “Steve Green” he had Previously Worked with the Head Chef “Peter”at a Hotel in nearby “Norwich”

So I was back Working as a Full Time Chef within about 3/4 Months of Finishing on the Rigs!

I knew my “Wife” Susan never liked me Working Nights, but I was a “Chef” and didn’t have too much Choice (but to Work Night’s)!

I suppose when I Look back to our Earlier Lives nearly 30 Years ago, concerning our Marriage and “Our Kids” I should have tried some other Sort of Work (so I could have been Home, more in the Evening’s), but all I had been was a Chef and a Butcher, and I had Worked at Most of the Butcher’s in Town (there was only about 3/4 different Companies).

By this time, around early Summertime in 1984, me and Susan had been Married 6 Year’s and “Nathan” was nearly 6 Year’s Old and “Natalie” was 4 Year’s old.

Back to Work, the New Chef “Steve” was a Decent Bloke and I got on Well with Him, his only trouble was He followed the Local Football Team “Norwich City” and I also remember he did not go Much on Soul Music!

Anyway Working with them 2 Chefs was Great, I cannot remember too many Disagreements with Either of them, although they did
Talk about “each other” a fair bit to me, as they were Like an Old “Married Couple” having known each other (and worked together) for a Few Year’s!

==================================================

As for Some Music, back in late 1985, Keyboardist Jeff Lorber had His Biggest Album (to Date) it was Produced by David Frank and Mic Murphy Aka “The System” it was Entitled “Step By Step”

Step by Step was a Best track on the Album and was Sung by New York Session Singer” Audrey Wheeler and it Reached Number 31 in the US R&B Charts!

The Track was Written by Jeff Lorber and Anita Pointer of the Pointer Sisters and it was on the “Arista” Record Label in the US and on the “Club” label in the UK.
