Time to throw a monkey wrench in the works!!!!! Some of you no doubt know who this is, but for those who don't... prepare to have your melon tweaked a little! This guy is also the Founder(?) Leader of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (possibly not anymore I haven't kept up with him). The first album I got form him was "VooDoo Violince." Awesome Julliard student....
I thinks there were only like two songs on the album with any lyrics/vocals somethin like that...

I've actually met Carl and did a bit of cooking for him and some other friends of his on a tour stop in GR, MI. I got a call to see if I could come in and help do a top end vegetarian meal for them from a now defunct Vegetarian diner. They shut down for the night and it was a pvt affair. We did the menu and had the owner/chef/friend working alongside...We got rave's from the "customers" and that lead to my friend now running a full service catering business that caters to demanding performers in MI and the 4 states surrounding us...I haven't gone back to cook with him but, for when Asia came through and was pointed to having us feed them.
he does draw from our farm heavily for what he needs in season and to the now expanded to animal protein menu.
We ended up making snacks and munchies for after the show and they came back and took advantage of the Hot Tub section of the "Back to Natural" Business.
Saw ELP 3 times......DAMN good!

Back when Ted was really Ted! there used to be a night club on division in GR. It was called Danny J's. I used to hang in there a bit, knew Danny and his brother John who had a great party store down the street. There was a band that played there all the time. Guess you would call it a "house band".. They had this really great guitarist, name was Charlie Huhn. They were just a riot to listen to! Anyway, Teddly stopped in after a gig at the GVSU fieldhouse after being told he should "Hear this Huhn guy play". He cam back kinda regular like. He'd sit there and listen and chat with the Danny and the band members for the next several years till Ted decided to dump Derek St. Holmes after convincing Charlie to defect and join his band....That began the fall of Danny's place - sadly.
I met him a few times and decided he's really a dick in many ways.....Met him a few more times through my dad who was a long, long time friend and hunting companion of Fred Bear.....When actually out hunting, he didn't seem so bad. Dad always said he was an asshole of the grandest magnitude....(At Fred's funeral). I felt back in the earlier years he seemed a little wound tight and that could make him "dickish" at times. Today = Dad's RIGHT!
I Have to hand it to him though. He had this simply BAD ASS oriental girl stashed at his Irons/Baldwin Hunting property!

Personalities aside, He'd make a GREAT President! If you haven't read his political/life manifesto, you might want to it is an easy read and I totally agree with all his points! Its Called "Ted, White and Blue"
Got to see him second row stage right at the "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" tour at The verizon Wireless center down by(in?) Brown County, IN (formerly Deer Creek) with KWS opening with Double Trouble (!!), then Ted, then ZZ Top (aka the dirty old men from Texas). I was feeling great! I baked us some "special" Choc. Chip cookies so we wouldn't have to worry about sparkin' up lol... I was going insane and singing right along with all my favorite songs at the TOP of my lungs, and KWS and Ted actually heard me and looked my way a couple times! I don't know if I still have the picture but I actually snapped it the moment he heard me and did a double-take on me...gotta see if I can't find that...
Then bout half way through ZZ Top's performance, I had been looking at the crowd behind us and then when I turned back there was this big behemoth of a dude in a three-piece suit standing at the stage fence with his arms crossed, and I'm thinkin' "Who is this guy and why is standing there looking right at me? Eh, must be a Security boss or something..." Then, as soon as I turn around and my eyes meet his, he reaches out and hands me one of Billy Gibbons' picks! So...not a security guard, but Billy's personal assistant, I found out later from one of my friends (I really didn't know/couldn't figure who it was). Had an awsome time at that show....

We saw Roger Waters do The Wall in Manchester a few years ago. We were sat in a stand right at the front, just above the stage by the Wall and it was fucking amazing, best night ever. Snowy White may even have been there, I'm pretty sure but don't quote me on that. The show had all the original stuff but it was updated too, so included all footage of the Iraq war, that kind of thing, and it was really poignant. We had a massive chunk of hash and it was the most intense night, I never thought I'd get to see that so it was kind of a dream come true type thing

Gotta love Neil Young!
But I would choose Cortez the killer over cinnamon girl any day. There is no contest.

I saw Pink Floyd in 86 (87?) at Milwawkee Stadium for the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Right on the lake. A couple tour buses got held up and the show was a late start... It was fantastic - The FULL Moon was directly just above center stage from my perspective when they finally opened with "Learning to Fly" of course... just a fantastic Stage show always with the Floyd... Never got to see Waters anywhere as I kinda snubbed him after the big battle.... A good friend of mine who was a good guitar player kinda filled me in on something that kinda made me change my view alittle toward him. He said "ALL Guitar Players are ARROGENT! I am! You know me..."lol
