Raspbernie

Malware was detected at the EricCarmen.com Forum, which took a few days to clean up. Such a major pain in the butt. Anyway, we're back. Miss us? Bernie

Good question. Need to look into it.

Yes on both counts. Barb on the dance floor. Rich on keyboards (and incredibly high lead vocals)! Bernie

At VFW Hall in Willoughby, Ohio with Rich Spina and Billy Sullivan.

Not sure if Kirk ever posted this one, but I was just heard it myself. Raw, stripped down and damned fine if you ask me. Not to mention he's singing it in Eric's original key. Wow! Oh yeah, and he was Oliver in "The Brady Bunch." Bernie

Kirk, You can download it here: https://vimeo.com/564574611 Bernie

Nah, it was just me who was being punished!

I'll post it in "Ecstasy" later with a download link. The audio is out of sync, so will fix that as well. Bernie

Yes, of course! Bernie

Billy has created a library of backing tracks, so he can sound like a small group of musicians when performing solo gigs. He is super talented!

Good conceptual use of the song. Like it. Bernie

Passed by that landmark many times over the years.

Looks like a print to order book. Never heard of it or the authors. Bernie

Here's Henry Stadler with Jim Bonfanti sitting in on drums! Bernie

Well done! A tour de force! One man on all instruments and vocals! Bernie

I have that on LP! Bernie

Haha. Right.

Hey! Pezband's not on their list, but it would certainly be on mine as well! Bernie

Haha! I don't "dislike them. I just don't see why the press fawns over them so much versus Raspberries!

Haha. Nailed the description, Kirk! Bernie

My goodness, where have I been! Sooooooo good. Bernie

EXHIBIT A: EXHIBIT B:

If you skip past the disco stuff (and there's a lot of it), you can find some Freddie solo gems. IMHO, his two best ("I Was Born To Love You" and "Made In Heaven") were re-recorded by Queen on their post-Freddie posthumous album Bernie

Just listened to a bunch of his songs on YouTube. Meh.

Sounds like the "Disney movie theme" version.
