Steven Jaffe's childhood was a complex period. Despite being an only child, he still kept his parents quite busy. Both mom and dad never quite understood him and even went as far to try prescription medication to tame his rambunctious spirit. It only put a dent in his zaniness. Their last resort was piano lessons, which Steve quickly fell in love with.

By the age of 11, Steve was on the center stage of Carnegie Hall playing for a sold out crowd his rendition of the soundtrack to "Funny Girl". Rave reviews followed Steve, but he was a troubled youth behind closed doors. His cat "Noodles" passed on that year, and some say that is what drove him over the edge. While on an American Goodwill Tour of Europe, Steve sexually groped the Queen of England while in a drunken haze, and was ordered to seek some help to avoid jail time.

After an extended stint (25 years) in the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Steve was stamped "cured" on his forehead and pushed off into society. After many failed attempts at employment, Steve took the only job that would hire him. A psychic on the Miss Cleo 900 line. Bob (the guitarist) found Steve while calling Miss Cleo's 900 number curious about finding a keyboardist for the band he had just created. Steve told him about his keyboarding skills, and both agreed it was fate... That, or Miss Cleo.
