Was Roger Daltry your camp counselor?
Thirty guitarists, 18 drummers, 10 bass players, seven keyboardists, seven vocalists, one saxophonist, one flutist, one harmonica player, a triangle player, a kazoo player and a woman defining herself as "a back up, way, way back up singer" came here to Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp last week. No bunks, just bands; no singing around the campfire, just around the microphone; no color war; instead a battle of the bands on closing night. And no jokes, please, about name tapes sewn on instruments.

As the harmonica player winds down his solo, Mark Farner, the former leader of Grand Funk Railroad, gives me "the nod"—that magical moment when a bandleader hands you the reins. I open up the volume on my Telecaster, the Marshall amp roars to life, and I step up to rock. I start playing like a drowning man reaching for a life preserver, far better than I am usually capable of. more... |

Guitar Dreams Never Die
At Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp Perhaps it's my name. Ever since I was a skinny high school kid, I felt certain I was destined to be a guitar legend. Sure, I know that was a long time ago, and these days, I look a lot more like the lawn-mowing, mortgage-paying father of two from the suburbs I am than Eric Clapton or Keith Richards. more.... |

One time at band camp
At 7:00 pm on that date I took my Gibson Custom Les Paul from its case and walked up the short hallway leading to the stage at the House of Blues in Hollywood, Calif. I plugged into a Marshall amp, turned up the volume on my guitar and hit a muted note to make sure everything was working okay. When I turned around I was standing face to face with one of the greatest Rock singers of all time: Roger Daltrey from The Who. We waited for the curtain to open to start playing our first song. |
