ENCHANT AT CALPROG 2004 | |
 Enchant's Ted Leonard (left) and Ed Platt (yes, they had the blurries, too*)  Doug Ott had the blurries bad, but he played the guitar good. Except for the time, in the middle of the set, where he pulled the plug on his own guitar, literally; came right outta the amp (prolly why Ed went wireless)  Doug again, the guitar has recovered a bit from the blurries... but Doug, tries to shake it (shake it, baby, shake it)  (ahem) Ted heard me scream that out (while Ed looks away embarrased) and is now pointing me out to the crowd, saying "that was Stephanie Sollow, everyone, from Progressiveworld.net. Sorry, dear, we're not the Backstreet Boys." No, that didn't happen; he is pointing out at the crowd though and was bemoaning the rule against alchohol at the venue... not right at that moment, but during the set. (on second thought, maybe he's leaning on the mic stand...)  Anyway, here's Doug again, playing an empassioned lead. Trust me, he looked empassioned in real life.  And here's Bill, playing the keysboards (which were mixed great from my perspective)  Ted straps on a blue Strat. I have to say, I really dig that blue Strat., which he used at NF 2002, too. Cool color...and one three cool Fender guitars seen that day (see Paul Bremer with Izz and Mike Keneally with ... Mike Keneally Band)  Oooer! It's Teddy again! Never mind Ted, it's the blue Strat!  From Ted to Ed... cool bass, poorly shot, very well played.  More Ed...  Look, it's N*Sync! No, no, that's Enchant in sync, playing a tight set  Ted (aw, no guitar this time... and still no beer)  Doug, Ted, Sean, Ed, Bill and heads... and something bursting up from the crowd. ("Argh! Metal rules!" "No, dear, we're not Metallica. Right region, wrong band."  Doug switches to a white Fender...  ... and recovers from the fuzzies...  ...only to have a slight relapse.  And this one's for my sister** who wasn't with me this time: Sean Flanagan. "The band's okay... the drummer's cute." Yes, the subsequently married (not to my sister, though) Sean "enchanted" my sister (from afar, Mrs. Flanagan; no worries) ... at least for the NF 2002 weekend. Sorry, he had a case of the blurries bad. *this tale starts with Norlander, then goes to Izz © 2004  © Copyright 1999, 2004 Progressive WorldPhotographs © | |
