The playing finesse of a hungry cheetah chasing its prey on warm smokey evening through the winding dangerous terrain of the African plains with sharp fiery finely tuned teeth like fertile licks so sleek they are capable of bouncing off each star in the heavens while giving birth to freshly spewed new and explosive cosmic ideals - then just as suddenly these heavenly notes cascade landing gracefully in the bosom of earths lush colored landscape of natures amazing Amazon, finding a serene resting place amoungst the waterfalls of a blue lagoon; where these gentle yet titillating tones are left to quietly echo in perfect harmony, dancing and prancing like freshly born gazelles to the utter ends of earths eternal majesty, where all of music lives and love is just a beautiful word... yeah man another sweet one Ted :)

That's the way I listen to Teds Approach to playing, as story lines, moving pictures,spectacular events and even poetry spawned by adventures imagination...Teds music needs to be seen as another episode in a series of performances - like watching your favorite TV show weekly...He is able to present each new piece in a way that finishes or adds to his last project. Don't just hit play and try to aimlessly listen to what he is doing... You need to close your eyes and let him take you "there" to a happy place - Relax, breathe and he will build a landscape of vivid imaginary right before your minds eye if you let him. Listen with your heart not just your ears to how he puts his phrasings, tones and dynamics together. He is communicating colors, sounds, dances and life itself. I love it and look forward to his work. I may not comment on every exhibit he shares, but rest assured, I let him take me on a ride through foreign lands and secret vacation spots by really listening closely to the music :)

I agree Stan groove with guts...I know some are not going to get it, but that is not what Teds music is about. It's about paying attention to the excitement he generates when he goes to and fro creating swirling like renditions of a rainbow that is caught in the calm eye of a tornado, yet somehow his music finds a way to escape that safe yet thunderous vacuum and he instantly begins propelling a Kaleidoscope of descriptive musical tales of fantasy and fiction in all directions. Some are so real, if you really intently listen, it's like being in dream and walking through the clouds and emerging into a land never before seen by the mortal eye. So again, listen within and not with your eyes and I believe you too will begin to hear a world of music unfold before your ears. Ted takes the reality of music and gives it the freedom to to be what ever the listener wishes to mold it into. That is what is so refreshing when I hear his phrasings and musical chooses - it gives me a chance to relax, take a break and enjoy life even though I may be having a bad day or I got some horrible news. :)

Hahahahahahaha - of course you have Ted to thank for that creamy moment of yours....but your welcome! And now that you mentioned it (harmonica) and (orgasm) go together perfectly when trying to put his music into words worthy to describe the passion he exhibits... as if he knows his unbridled sexuality is soothing the savage beast of those viewing his musical production like hungry voyeurs searching the depths of His very soul for the satisfaction they desperately desire to experience while alone with themselves ... Teds chops will touch you just right and will leave your organ fully pleasured and wanting - dreaming of the next time you'll melt into a gooey steaming stream of ecstasy, like a drug addicted groopy, his musical prophetic callings will keep you coming back for more, keeping one trapped in a trance like stupor - high on the mere thought of the existence of something so wonderful, pure and potent :)
