Questions--April 1993, p.24. Reader asks "Whatever happened to
Eddie Jobson?" Greg Rule of Keyboard answers that Eddie is now
based in Manhattan and is doing soundtrack work for advertisers.
Mentions the Korg 01/W demo disk and says that Eddie recently won
an advertising award known as the CLIO for his music. [I will try
to contact the organization that handles the CLIOs to find out
the specifics of Jobson's award. The name of the organization, I
have found out, is New CLIO, and I believe they are based in
either Chicago or New York.]
