About Ted and His Musical Vision
Hello! I’m Ted, and I believe music is a spark that brings people together. For 55 years, I’ve poured my heart into guitar, keyboards, vocals, drums, and bass—playing everywhere from cozy clubs and backyard parties to thundering arena stages. The thrill of performing and the joy of sharing music are experiences I want to multiply and pass on.
Let me share my story and the vision that fuels my passion. My hope is that it ignites something in you too—whether you’re a fellow musician, a music lover, or someone who understands the power of a great jam session. Let’s make waves, inspire each other, and see just how far the music can take us when we play from the heart!
The Unifying Power of Music
The Universal Magic of Music
Music is, perhaps, the most universally magical force known to humanity. It effortlessly transcends language barriers, geographical borders, generational differences, and social status, bringing people together through shared emotion and experience. Music has the unique ability to unite the human condition in ways that few other forms of expression can.
The Emotional and Physical Impact of Music
Music possesses incredible versatility: it can calm anxieties, energize spirits, and inspire action. Through melody and rhythm, it can evoke memories from the past or resonate deeply with one’s soul in the present. Whether soothing a baby’s cry or igniting a chorus among thousands, music’s effect is profound and far-reaching. It is also deeply rooted in the sciences, representing one of the purest expressions of mathematics and physics. The patterns of cymatics—vibrational phenomena visible in nature—demonstrate that music’s influence is woven into the very fabric of creation, with some suggesting that the genesis of existence itself began with sound.
A Lifelong Journey with Music
Throughout my life, I have remained in awe of music’s spellbinding qualities. I am convinced that music holds the key to healing the world. As a lifelong musician, I have explored numerous roles as a performer and player. Now, at this stage in my journey, I feel a strong calling to dedicate my musical gifts to helping those most in need.
Retirement and Renewed Purpose
After moving to Delaware and retiring from my career in information technology, I naturally gravitated toward my passion for performing music. Unlike the pursuit of fame or fortune, I feel blessed to have everything I need and am focused on using my talents for greater good. My goal is to connect with like-minded, talented musicians and vocalists to collaborate on performances that support charitable causes.
Performance and Philanthropy
I am prepared to offer two three-hour shows featuring crowd favorite cover songs—one acoustic and one electric. While I am open to performing at traditional venues such as clubs and restaurants, my primary interest lies in participating in fundraisers, events, and parties that contribute to worthy causes. Through these efforts, I hope to harness the unifying power of music to make a meaningful difference.
