Classic Gadd from the late 80's as I remember seeing on video over a decade ago. Doing a rearrangement of "Signed Sealed & Delivered".

Your = possessive - your stuff, your dog, your car, etc
You're = you are - a contraction.
Learn it. Love it.
A buddy of mine engineered a recording project in 1986 and Gadd was the drummer of choice, flown in from LA to London for the sessions.
Ha haa...my mate recounts that Gadd initially had an approach of....' Nah, not interested in doing any drugs'.
But when conversation evolved into '..........we know a man that can....?...'
he never declined.....ha haa.
Rock and Roll.....love it.
Steve Gadd is one of my all time favorites. Again, like Bonham, he has an incredible sense of groove. Gadd is gifted, plain and simple.
