ERIK NORLANDER AT CALPROG 2004

While we were waiting for Erik Norlander to take the stage, I took a picture of Norlander's set up, focusing on his custom built synth we learned was called "The Wall Of Doom." Erik Norlander as seen from row K, seat 109... not a great shot, but Norlander is an enthusiastic keyboardist so the fact that this is not just a blur... well, is because the keyboards weren't moving. :-) See, here is just a blur And less than a blur A blur as seen from the side... This is Mike Alvarez ... yes, he's blurry, too. Anyway, if you were at CalProg and stopped by the Norlander/Lane/Rocket Scientists booth at about 11:30 a.m., you saw Mike watching the booth, "claiming" he was just fan. Apparantly, not just a fan, but a fan playing the electric cello with Norlander. Mike's a sly one; he and I chatted and he never mentioned it. Another guest, Kelly Keeling, sang on a couple of songs - great voice. (Can I tell you a secret? He spilled his drink in the lobby later. Not sure what happened to cause it, but there it was... oops! Keeling and Norlander Quick! Is he still a blur of motion? Yes, 'fraid so. Oh, did I tell you these are in chronological order? So while this shot looks like the others, it's later in the set... ... and I haven't gotten any better at capturing Norlander And yes, the fantastically voiced Lana Lane was there singing fantastically, her blurriness not affecting her voice at all ;-) (I spoke to her briefly at her/Erik's booth later -- okay, all I said was, "I'll take these three," and handed her some money -- and can attest that she is not blurry when in focus. Erik was there, too, clear as day.) © 2004 Main CalProg 2004 Page | Main Gallery | Home © Copyright 1999, 2004 Progressiveworld.net Photographs © Stephanie Sollow
