After receiving numerous positive responses like, Jeff headed West and two days after arriving in Los Angeles he landed a gig for 5 hours a night 5 days a week, again playing cover tunes, same gig, different locale. * Over the course of nine months in L.A. He learned a lot about the recording industry and decided to return to Kansas City and record the album at an affordable University recording studio in town. With financial help from fans and friends, the album was finished and the release was planned, but his wife's pregnancy was not. Jeff had scheduled a tour on the college circuit to promote 'A Street Called Straight', but the arrival of his son and resulting complications to his wife's health put everything on hold - a hold that has extended for 25 years.
