Wayne and I were lucky enough to join Matt, Colett, and Amy and Wes at the "Chicago" concert on the 4th. Now this will date us (and yes, I know we are as old as dirt) but in the early 70's we listened to the group "Chicago" all the time. I still have one of the old 33 albums in my possession but unfortunately I have no place to play it now. They were the group that actually started rock groups with horn sections. Back then, the lead singer was Peter Cetera but for 25 years the lead singer has been Jason Scheff. If you listen to the records, you can't really even tell the difference between their voices. He also just happens to be Colett's brother-in-law so when Chicago comes to town, we get free tickets and back stage passes. Jason has become our friend too, and we get to visit him when he comes to town for holidays. I was able to sit at the piano last Christmas and sing carols with him which was really fun. He is a sweet guy and gives us all hugs when we meet or part. Famous rock singers are still pretty normal in most respects. Jason is a very talented musician and singer. He writes, composes, plays several instruments along with his singing. He comes from a musical family. His father was a guitar player for Elvis Presley. At the concert, we rocked out, crowded the stage, and visited with all the band members backstage when the concert was over. Looking forward to the next time.
This is Jason which some call Scheffy and here is his web site on MySpace.
