(hennemusic) Aerosmith had a surprise visitor to their studio last Friday night: New York Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter. Considering Boston is Red Sox central, this could have been a tense situation, but all was cool, reports the gang at Aerosmith fan club AeroForceOne.
Turns out Jeter is a good friend of producer Jack Douglas. Small world, but Derek became pals with Jack when he was producing Aerosmith's 1982 album, "Rock In A Hard Place." With Brad Whitford out of the fold, the band hired guitarist Rick Dufay to try to take over Brad's duties. Rick and Jeter have a close personal tie, and Jack and Rick became lifelong friends. more on this story
