On to some everyday ramble.. music talk today.
I had purchased tickets to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. For the longest time I had heard that this was a great concert and having the Cd's for Christmas I decided to take a chance and what the hay have fun. I went last Thursday in Albany NY. Let me tell you it was absolutely Amazing. Buying the tickets early gave us a chance to get great floor seats up front.
Members are from different music backgrounds but most are from actual Heavy metal bands from the past some of you may know Savatage. Not sure off the bat what other bands each member is from.
The story lines are wonderful. The music is fascinating..the light show OUT OF THIS WORLD. Seeing Pink Floyd In concert put this concert right up there with Pink Floyd in the effects department. At one point in time during the concert they made it snow well it was tiny foam bubbles that looked like snow but was just so much fun. Everyone in the stadium was in aww! As a classical music lover they took classic music to a whole new level. Looking around I saw people ranging from ages 5-75. Black, White, tall the small bald, long hair, skinny, fat. This show is for everyone.I am kicking myself for not bringing my camera. Next year I will take my girls with me as I know they will enjoy this show very much. Bring ear plugs though :) Another great thing about this band is most bands to get any autograph you must have backstage passes this band was so kind to get off stage and sign autographs for hundreds of people pictures etc. That was a first being to many concerts before hearing that was another wow!Taking time out for the fans. So to add to the top of my favorite concerts ever is count 4..Pink Floyd,Tool,Judas Priest,Drum roll The Trans Siberian Orchestra is now added to that list.
If you have not seen the Trans Siberian Orchestra you need to see them you will not be disappointed.
Well thats all for now folks!!

I would like to thank Chad Savage of Sinister Visions web design for creating a wonderful website for me. I knew he would come out on top with the web design I was visioning. I would search and search around at other web designers work but there was always something missing. Viewing all of Chads work each and every design seems to pop out at you. His Horror Halloween designs stand out from the rest! Long story short...Chads design did come out on top and I am very Happy with the whole design he created for me. He tapped in to what I wanted exactly. Thank you Chad
