Early Wynn Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Good idea about Eric doing the entire first album. I saw Cheap Trick about 6 or 7 years ago where they did three albums in three nights. The first night they did the first album in order, plus some other songs; second nite was "In Color" plus...; 3rd nite was "Heaven Tonight" plus.... It was great. I can't believe my wife let me out for 3 nights in a row.Regarding Babs...if she was playing live in my living room, I'd go down to the basement to watch the ballgame.

Steveh Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 At first, when I read here that Babs may be playing Oct 6 in Cleveland and Eric is rescheduling, I thought it was understandable. Now I've changed my mind. I say, "On with the show!". As scheduled. How many of us would really be upset if we missed the babs concert because we were at the ec concert? That's right - zero. Eric, your fans want you - you are not competing with babs - she's got her own fans, and there's enough entertainment writers in Cleveland to cover both shows.

Gene Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 What the hey, now Eric and crew will have longer to plan an even better show. And if he needs anyone to complain about lighting for the DVD crew, I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Speaking of the "copper" album award, it reminds me of Cyndi Lauper's quote concerning the album made by "Blue Angel", a band she was in before she went solo....."the album went LEAD!!"

Tom Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Zamfir " Master of the Pan Flute ". Was supposed to tour with the 'Berries in 1976 before Capitol pulled the plug ( according to rumors at the time). BIzzare but true??? Claims 100 million + sold.See description below? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamfir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 That Zamfir was (is still?) a pretty incredible talent. He sold more albums on TV than the Popeil Pocket Fisherman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy K. Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Art, but did he sell more than Slim Whitman? That is the big question... And actually, I had planned to head back over to Ukraine/Russia on 10/4, but moved the dates up a couple of day so I could leave CLE the day after the concert. As it turns out, I will have to postpone the trip until 10/12 or so for other reasons. Hopefully, I can coordinate the concert and the trip so I could do BOTH!!

Ecstasy Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 We brought our Annie back from camp the other day. She said that a friend had commented to her that she deserved a break and she responded that I was the one who actually needed the break. I told her that I was going to go to camp with my friends --- but Barbra Streisand beat me to it!!! I NEED A CONCERT!!!LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Streisand announced her concert in Columbus, Ohio for Oct 6 at $150-$600 a pop. Any new word on Eric's show. I need to request the day off from work. I just can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlesteve Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sure enough, she's on Ticketmaster with a presale tomorrow for the 10/6 Columbus show. Severance Hall is open!!With such a big delay is 6 weeks enough time for rehearsals and writing arrangements? Eric?If so, how would you attack it, what would the timeline be, and how much time would you need with the symphony? Lots or do they just glance at the charts and their good to go? Just curious how the process works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I would think there's not enough time for October 6th but there would be enough for a Spring or Summer Severance Hall concert. Let's hope Babs doesn't make a return trip. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywine Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Whats wrong with November or December? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin23 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I would prefer November or December as I am totally committed to school events/activities in October. I also have no use for babs....what a loser! I switch the radio/tv stations whenever her name or voice appears. Let's rock on Eric.Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 October 6th is becoming a popular date. Mariah Carey is scheduled then at The Staples Center, in L.A. Barbara's picture is already up on the electronic advertising board for her concert at Staples, later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Shane Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Eric,The weekend of Thanksgiving would be a lovely time to perform at Severance Hall. A certain old bandmate and admirer will again be in town and would love to attend.I've been up here from Miami for Labor Day. Beautiful day today in Cleveland town.Regards,KarenP.S. The Cleveland Orchestra is doing a three-week residency in Miami for the next 10 years starting this January-February at the new Miami Performing Arts Center which opens next month. They tuned the Symphony Hall last month. They're refering to them as "The Best Band in the Land!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Just out of curiosity ... here in New Zealand we don't have Thanksgiving so when is it exactly??Muzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Muzza,This year Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, 11/23 (it's always the 4th Thursday in Nov). Most companies offer the following day as a holiday (11/24), but not banks, and that contributes to Thanksgiving being the most congested travel weekend in the year. Canada Thanksgiving (they had it first so it must be mentioned) is the 2nd Monday in October (10/9 this year).Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 One fact most people don't know is that Thanksgiving was started by President Lincoln in 1863, when the U.S. was in the midst of Civil War.Bernie- - - -"The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful Providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well as the iron and coal as of our precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom.No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the imposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the divine purpose, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union.Abraham Lincoln" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thanks Annieg and Bernie. It is easy for us here in New Zealand to hear about such special days in other countries and assume we know what they are about. I guess TV and movies have given us some insight but that can often be distorted by the storyline.Was there any guidance given as to how this day should be celebrated or has that evolved over the yearsMuzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Muzza,The Thanksgiving guidance, in short, STUFF YER FACE.Thanksgiving, like Christmas, is generally goverened by family traditions. Usually the day involves a lot of cooking, football games, eating, and noise. The Thanksgiving meal (standard fare is turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, pumpkin pie, etc.) is usually in late afternoon so that one has time to digest it all before bedtime.It is an important day to families - so much that newlyweds are often torn as to whether to spend the day with his family or hers. Some compromise with Christmas at one set of in-laws, and Thanksgiving with the other, but some couples alternate Thanksgivings with the parents so they can have a stressless Christmas alone!

julesberry Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 And if you're crazy enough, you get up at 5 a.m. the next day to get the early bird specials at the shopping malls. I myself prefer to sleep in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 And don't forget watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on the tube! That's my biggie. I'm less fond of crowds as I get older, but I still could be persuaded to attend that someday...right now, I watch it for glimpses of the City and (hopefully) some good performances from shows. I'll be in LA this year, but you can bet we'll be tuned in.S* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
