About Me |
|
This profile was edited with mywickedspace.com Editor Tunes..."Use it All". I think this one came to me in a dream. Or something. Andrew and I did this last year. Or was it the year before? Then my "Katrina Relief" tune, "Bad Wind on the Bayou", featuring Phil O'Keefe on bass, Sandy O'Keefe and her daughter Samantha on backup vocals, and my son Andrew on drums. "Walk Away Renee"...Andrew and I again. And...what the heck did I put on there? OH...yeah...the Tsunami relief tune from a couple of years ago. '04 I think. |

Music:Member Since: 5/28/2006Band Website: tedster.net/ Band Members: Well, for sure there will be some surprises come next Thursday...!!! Stay tuned...I actually have like three or four separate (but related...sorta) things I work with. There could be an orchestra of us, heads shaven, wearing saffron robes, chanting and banging on Tibetan water-gongs, a couple of us singing acoustic stuff...or just me disguised as an old man. No, wait, that's what I look like anyway. Influences: Beatles, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello, Todd Rundgren, Philly Soul, Motown, Beach Boys, Byrds, Eagles, The Who...all the great harmony groups and quite a few I'm just hearing now. Old country, Texas Swing, Jazz Fusion, Funk, Basie, Ellington...Good songs! Sounds Like: A water buffalo during the rutting season.Heck, I dunno. My influences are pretty rangey. We're likely to sound like just about anything. Record Label: Permanent Press Type of Label: None |

Who is "The Ted Hoffman Band"? |
|
| So, this "Club Wars" thing, coming up Halloween, lists the band I'm in as "The Ted Hoffman Band". I hate eponymously-named (is that redundant?) projects. So, how does this come about?

Our musical history... |
|
| A lot of us oldsters at this music thing, regardless of personal success, enjoy looking back (for better or worse) over our years of playing. How we got started, what bands we were in, what broke them... Posted by Ted Hoffman on Sat, 14 Jul 2007 12:25:00 PST |

Paris goes to the chair... |

Madame Paris Hilton was carted off in a tumbril this morning, while the ladies knitted, and led to the guillotine.
Nah...they just put her in the hoosegow for awhile. But, you'd think... Posted by Ted Hoffman on Sat, 09 Jun 2007 08:02:00 PST |

What a bunch of dickweeds... |
|
| First off...I'm a nonsmoker. I've been off cigarettes for over 20 years.
That said, my wife is still a chimney. But, that's her business. Well, actually it's mine, too, as I end up funding her habit.... Posted by Ted Hoffman on Wed, 09 May 2007 06:31:00 PST |

What would it be like...? |

Changes to "Top Friends" |
|
| As I've said before, I consider everyone my "top friend". That said, there are four friends I have to give special consideration to...
My kids.
So, my kids (and grandson) occupy my 4 "top friends". T... Posted by Ted Hoffman on Thu, 15 Mar 2007 06:26:00 PST |

Depressing thought for the day... |
|
| "Living one's life, allowing it to run its natural course,
Is really only committing suicide in the slowest, most painful way possible
Isn't it?"
Now, before the weirdos get on me, I'm not suicidal. I... Posted by Ted Hoffman on Sat, 24 Feb 2007 07:00:00 PST |

So, does it make sense??? |
