Tapping my imaginary drum machine during "Shine A Little Love"

Getting some air at the end of Ma-Ma-Ma Belle

With my homey Alan Parsons. That's gang-sign for "We are elderly nerds"

Dwight Twilley sings his butt off in Annapolis. One of those musical heroes of mine who can do no wrong.

Visiting with my acquaintance Belinda Carlisle at the Rewind Festival in England. I love the random pile of leopard print material outside her trailer.

My view onstage, looking downward.

An unfathomable moment in rock history: my father in law Terry O'Connell (eypatch) with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. I have no idea.

ET (Eric Troyer) is a tremendous singer and bandmate.

Live in Deer Valley UT. Vocals at 8000 feet are not easy.

Bringin' the rock to EPCOT. They treat us great down there.

Doing the old "George and Paul"

Love the local granny making the scene.

Thank you, Austria. Mozart had lunch in our dressing room 250 years earlier.

Tres Amigos

Nice relaxed shot of ELO's founding three.

A 4th grader's thank you letter after I spoke at "Career Day"

An unguarded shot of the magnificent Mr. Kaminski

Another good Kaminski shot

Dueling dots!

Eight years old. A "Lori" nylon six string

When Dave Phenicie subs for Glen I move to the middle, as here in Germany.

It's best to constantly shoot pics with Glen, because next week he'll look completely different

Group shot in Punta Del Este Uruguay

A Yorkshire crosswalk. Zoom in on this one, you can almost hear me asking "Why did I think this was a good idea?"

An Atom Heart Mother moment in Yorkshire UK

Everything looks like Pink Floyd art when you're in England

Floyd again. Greg Floyd this time.

He was always the one.

McCartney finale moment

Peter and Gordon, Simon and Garfunkel and finally Burtnik and Troyer

Listening to what The Man says

Gibson SGs are famous for this. Got it fixed, though.

One of my high school rock bands, Athens, Greece.

Recording guitars for Jonathan Rundman's album in Minneapolis

With Producer Mark Williams in Bethesda, recording Love Is The Greatest Thing

I love house concerts

I seem to have put Mik into a trance

Gordon's cool new tape art on his kick drum

I loved this humble roadside sign for one of the world's great cities

Our new best buddies from the Cruise. Loved seeing them live.

With John Regna, the Wizard of Orch

The excitement of Baltic train travel

Lou is always popular with the Chilean beer sponsor girls

Makin' it up on the fly with 3KStatic in Miami

With my Gibstone Bass on the set of the Flintstones movie

Performing in a Spanish bullring

Please, Eric Troyer, tell us more about tonight's show here in...

At the Beatles Cafe in Minsk, Belarus. What a cool place.

Look at me! Look at me! Front page in Mexico.

Apparently this new style of lock took Toronto by surprise

In a studio with Kyle Vincent

One of those shots you live to regret with Rob Ladd and Rusty Anderson in Los Angeles

If Robert Lamm had joined P. Hux it would've looked like this. Cameo by the late great Algonquin up at Dan Rothchild's house in Laurel Canyon, LA

Backstage at Jammin' Java in Virginia with Marshall Crenshaw. We sang "If I Fell"

Quintessential East Coast road view, New Jersey

Perhaps the most literal interpretation of UK food ever: Fish and (Potato) Chips in Atlantic City

Eric Troyer is smoking on the keyboards

Poor barmaid attacked by swarm of fish in Russia.

Russian stab at a billboard as Eric freezes solid

Country style snack shop closed for the winter in Russia

An ad for our show in freezing Ekaterinburg, Russia

Russian van. That dirty ring around the bottom is a winter staple

That's not exactly ideal poster placement

Slice of life in Russia as I took a long walk in 10 degree weather

Show poster

Love these oddball "rock stars with parents" photos!

A student of mine brought this guitar to his first lesson. "I've had this since I was a kid. Who would want an old guitar like this?" ME.

Las Vegas circa 2000. Studio owner Mikal Blue, Kelly Groucutt, Mrs Emma Blue, Gordon Townsend

This turned out to be a photoshop hoax, placing ELO founder Roy Wood's photo on Jeff Lynne's Grammy seat, not to mention subbing Will for Sam!

But this shot is real. Someone at the Grammies must've searched for a current photo of ELO, found The Orchestra, and figured "close enough."

Al Kooper on ice, winter 2015. I've had the pleasure of speaking with Al on the phone a few times…talk about stories! He's also been a great supporter of my music.

At the Prince of Wales Theater

When drum risers were DRUM RISERS

In 1995, my Ford Ranger had room for three. Good thing P. Hux was a trio. With Rob Miller and Gordon Townsend.

My father-in-law and his old pal Mr. Stills. I believe their friendship dates back to a fundraiser for McGovern.

Ben Hoyt and I tune up before a house concert.

Hanging out with Al Kooper at his house in Boston.
