paragraph: Christian Patterson

paragraph: Christian Patterson (born 1972, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA) is an American photographer known for his "Sound Affects" and "Redheaded Peckerwood" series which have received solo exhibitions and been published as books. "Redheaded Peckerwood" was awarded the Rencontres d'Arles Author Book Award in 2012 and Patterson has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Vevey International Photography Award.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: In 2002, Patterson moved from Brooklyn, New York to Memphis, Tennessee to work with the photographer William Eggleston. In 2005, he completed his first project, "Sound Affects," a collection of color photographs that explore Memphis as a visual and musical place, and use light and color as visual analogues to sound and music. In 2008, a "Sound Affects" book was published by Edition Kaune, Sudendorf.

paragraph: Also in 2005, Patterson began working on his second project, "Redheaded Peckerwood", which is loosely inspired by the late 1950s killing spree of Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate across Nebraska. Photographs are the heart of this work, but they are complemented and informed by documents and objects that belonged to the killers and their victims. Later that year, Patterson moved back to New York.

paragraph: In 2011, a "Redheaded Peckerwood" book was published by Mack and named one of the best photobooks of the year by many critics. The book was nominated for the 2012 Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards and won the 2012 Recontres d'Arles Author Book Award. It is introduced in "The Photobook: A History, Vol. 3", edited by Gerry Badger and Martin Parr.

paragraph: In 2015, Patterson completed Bottom of the Lake, a project revisiting his hometown of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (French for “Bottom of the Lake”). A book was published by Koenig Books and takes the form of a facsimile of the artist's family's 1973 telephone book from Fond du Lac, with Patterson's own photographs, drawings and notes inserted. Like "Redheaded Peckerwood", this new work mixes large-format colour landscapes, black-and-white snapshots, appropriated and manipulated archival images, and studio still lifes. As an installation and exhibition, the work includes an interactive rotary telephone object and wooden sculpture.

paragraph: Deborah Fisher Wharton

paragraph: Deborah Fisher Wharton (1795 – 1888) was an American Quaker minister, suffragist, social reformer and proponent of women's rights, and the mother of industrialist Joseph Wharton.

paragraph: She was one of a small group of dedicated Quakers who founded Swarthmore College. She was a contemporary and friend of Lucretia Mott and had many of Mott's sympathies but did not actively pursue the women's rights cause, rather she was a proponent of liberal Quaker spirituality.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Deborah Fisher was born into a wealthy Philadelphia Quaker family. Her grandfather was Joshua Fisher, who was involved in early transatlantic trade and started the first packet line of ships regularly carrying goods between Philadelphia and London. Her father was Samuel R Fisher, who took on the shipping business and a large mercantile business in downtown Philadelphia. Her mother was Hannah Rodman, of a Quaker family from Newport, RI, also associated with shipping. She was a descendant of Thomas Cornell.

paragraph: Section::::Family, estate.

paragraph: Fisher grew up in downtown Philadelphia at 110 S Front Street. The neighborhood was busy and wealthy, and she remembered seeing famous neighbors including George Washington stroll along the street. The family enjoyed the countryside and often visited their country estate called "The Cliffs" several miles north of Philadelphia on the Schuylkill River.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage.

paragraph: As a young woman Fisher was pious and interested in the cause of equal education and treatment of women. She married William Wharton in 1817 and together they pursued their interest in Quaker spirituality and simplicity, becoming part of the Hicksite Quaker movement. The Hicksite Friends favored simplicity and directness in their daily lives, contrasting with the more "worldly" urban (Orthodox) Quakers. In this respect the Fishers and Whartons stood out because they were wealthy and urban, but were nostalgic about living the farming life.

paragraph: Deborah's father Samuel bought a house at 336 Spruce Street in downtown Philadelphia as a wedding gift. Deborah raised her family in the house and lived there the rest of her life.

paragraph: Section::::Religious and social causes.

paragraph: Deborah and William and were involved in Quaker Meeting affairs including many committees. Deborah was recognized by their Meeting at Ninth and Spruce Streets as a minister. She was involved in many causes, including helping the Indians of upper New York state, the anti-slavery movement, and education of children. She defended Indians' rights in Washington DC, and visited their reservations. Deborah and William successfully petitioned the city of Philadelphia to provide free education for blacks. William became one of the first directors of the Public Schools of Philadelphia and served in that capacity for twenty years.

paragraph: Section::::Bellevue.

paragraph: William and Deborah received a gift of the Bellevue estate from his father Charles Wharton in 1834, the year that her father died. It was a farm near the Cliffs estate that she had grown up to love. The Whartons and their children spent many happy summers at Bellevue, where they enjoyed the vegetable gardens, horse-drawn carriage trips and the cool of the nearby Schuylkill River.

paragraph: Section::::Newport, Rhode Island.

paragraph: Wharton's mother, Hannah Rodman Fisher, came from a long line of Quaker families from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. During the Revolution years, the Narragansett Bay area became a battleground between the British and the Americans allied with the French, and the Newport economy suffered. After the war, Hannah Rodman married Samuel R Fisher of Philadelphia and raised her family there. Although Deborah was a Philadelphian, she made the trip back to Newport many times, in later years with her children and grandchildren.

paragraph: Section::::Education and Swarthmore.

paragraph: Like many women of her time, Deborah Fisher Wharton was kept at home by her duties as mistress of a large household and mother of ten children. But like most Quaker women of the time, she was especially interested in education. Deborah, together with

paragraph: a small group of other Hicksite Quakers from New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore was a founder of Swarthmore College, one of the first coeducational colleges in the country, and served on the original Board of Managers.

paragraph: Deborah Fisher Wharton's family prospered. Her daughter Esther married Benjamin R. Smith, the son of educator Daniel B Smith of Philadelphia. Fisher's son, industrialist Joseph Wharton became renowned for building a large business empire that included refining zinc, nickel, and iron.

In 1462, Henry XI participated in the meeting between King Casimir IV of Poland and King George of Bohemia. With his father, he was excommunicated by the Pope Pius II for not to support the eventual inheritance of Casimir IV's son over the Bohemia throne. After Henry IX's death in 1467, his son assumed the government over Głogów.

paragraph: Henry XI was very indolent and sickly person since his childhood. He settled his main residence in Kożuchów, which was the capital of his Duchy. After assumed the government, he didn't show greater political ambitions, because he lived all his adult life under the shadow of his father. Following the advises of the City Council of Wrocław he send a message to Kraków, where he encouraged King Casimir IV or one of his sons to take the throne of Bohemia.

paragraph: In 1468, Henry XI decided to support King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and participated in his unsuccessful trip to Silesia and Lusatia against King George of Bohemia.

paragraph: Since the beginning of his reign, Henry XI continued his father's politics, for example, when he successfully supported his cousin Balthasar in his attempt to recover the Duchy of Żagań after being deposed by his brother Jan II the Mad in 1468. One year later, during King Matthias's coronation as King of Bohemia at Olomouc, he received the formal restoration of the lands belonged to the Duchy of Głogów who were annexed by the Kingdom of Bohemia since 1360 (including the other half of Głogów), but he only could take formal possession after the death of Margareta of Celje (widow of Duke Władysław, from the Cieszyn branch), who held the cities as her .

paragraph: Henryk XI remained unmarried for a long time. At the end of his life, and under the pressures of his advisers, who acting on behalf of the Elector Albert III Achilles of Brandenburg, was arranged his marriage with one of the Elector's daughter, the twelve-years-old Barbara. In the marriage contract was stipulated that, in case of the Duke's death without issue, all his lands were passed to his wife, with reversion to her family. The wedding took place in Berlin on 11 October 1472.

paragraph: Henry XI died suddenly on 22 February 1476, probably poisoned by Brandenburg agents. He was buried in the Church of the Mother's Day in Kożuchów.

paragraph: After his death, broke a long succession war for the Duchy of Głogów. The next legitimate male heir of Henry XI was his cousin Jan II the Mad, former Duke of Żagań, who had to face the pretensions of the Elector of Brandenburg, Matthias Corvinus and the King of Poland. Only in 1482 was finally made an arrangement in Kamieniec Ząbkowicki, under which the towns of Krosno Odrzańskie, Sulechów, Lubsko, Bobrowice passed to Brandenburg.

paragraph: Henryk XI is negatively evaluated by both Polish and German historians. They accused him of incompetence and weakness. Also, he was a true prince of his time: he enjoyed eat, sleep and drink.

paragraph: Blaze Bayley

paragraph: Blaze Bayley (born Bayley Alexander Cooke, 29 May 1963) is an English singer, musician, songwriter, and lyricist. He was the lead singer of Wolfsbane from 1984 to 1994, and currently from 2010 following reunions in 2007 and 2009. Bayley was also the lead singer for Iron Maiden from 1994 to 1999. Since then, he has embarked on a solo career.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Bayley was born Bayley Alexander Cooke in Birmingham, England on 29 May 1963.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Wolfsbane (1984–1994, 2007–present).

paragraph: Bayley started his musical career as the lead vocalist of Wolfsbane, upon their formation in 1984. The first album, "Live Fast, Die Fast", was released in 1989.

paragraph: Prior to this, they had recorded three demos entitled "Wolfsbane" (1985), "Dancin' Dirty" (1987) and "Wasted but Dangerous" (1988). This last one was recorded at Square Dance Studios, Derby, U.K.. They were the supporting act for Iron Maiden's UK division of their No Prayer on the Road tour in 1990. Wolfsbane's second release, an EP titled "All Hell's Breaking Loose Down at Little Kathy Wilson's Place", was released the same year. The band's second full studio album "Down Fall the Good Guys", was released in 1991, giving them their only UK Chart entry with their single "Ezy" charting at No. 68.

paragraph: Def American dropped Wolfsbane as they felt that the band were not selling well enough. This did not stop the band from being voted as the UK's best unsigned act in 1993. The same year, the band released a live album, "Massive Noise Injection", through the Bronze Company label.

paragraph: The band released their third studio album, the self-titled "Wolfsbane", in 1994, again on the Bronze Company label. A limited edition of this album included the EP "Everything Else". When Bruce Dickinson departed fellow English heavy metal band Iron Maiden in 1993, Bayley was chosen between hundreds of auditions. Wolfsbane disbanded afterwards.

paragraph: In 2007, Wolfsbane reformed for a one-off performance, with Bayley again taking up vocal and frontman duties. They supported the Wildhearts on a short UK tour in December 2007. Their next tour came in December 2009 supporting the Quireboys on their 'A Little Bit of What You Fancy 20th Anniversary Tour'. Wolfsbane played a headline show at the Borderline in London on 9 April 2011. This was followed by a tour supporting Saxon in April 2011. A new album (Wolfsbane Save the World) followed an Ep called "Did it for the money" and a successful UK tour in 2011.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Iron Maiden (1994–1999).

paragraph: Bayley was chosen as Bruce Dickinson's replacement after hundreds of auditions. His departure from Wolfsbane led to their disbandment later that year. After a serious motorcycle accident put him out of commission for a year, Bayley was able to record vocals for Maiden's "The X Factor", released in 1995. Bayley went on tour with the band in support of the album. Another Iron Maiden album with Bayley on vocals, "Virtual XI" was released in 1998.

paragraph: The two Iron Maiden albums released during Bayley's tenure did not chart as well as the band had hoped. "The X Factor" peaked at No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart and "Virtual XI" hit only No. 16, both being the lowest-charting Iron Maiden studio albums since "Killers" was released in 1981, which peaked at No. 12.

paragraph: Bayley left Iron Maiden in February 1999 after hearing that vocalist Bruce Dickinson was returning to the band. Iron Maiden occasionally perform songs from the two Maiden albums featuring Bayley, including "Man on the Edge" and "Futureal", which he co-wrote, though no Bayley-era songs appeared in the band's set list between 2004 and 2017 until 2018 when the band played "The Clansman" and "Sign Of The Cross". Likewise, Bayley has performed Iron Maiden songs originally recorded by the Dickinson and Paul Di'Anno led line-ups at some concerts.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Blaze (1999–2007).

paragraph: Following Blaze Bayley's departure from Iron Maiden in 1999, he formed his own band, BLAZE, in March that year. Bayley recruited guitarist Steve Wray, guitarist John Slater, bassist Rob Naylor, and drummer Jeff Singer, and signed a deal with German label SPV, releasing the band's debut studio album in 2000, "Silicon Messiah". The album was followed up by "Tenth Dimension" in 2002 and the band's first live album in 2003, "As Live As It Gets". All those albums had positive reviews. But financial problems and some issues with the record company soon led to changes in the band.

paragraph: After recording the live album, Jeff Singer announced he was leaving. Three months later, Rob Naylor was also leaving. Session drummer Phil Greenhouse and bassist Wayne Banks were hired for the rest of the "Tenth Dimension" tour until permanent replacements could be found. Guitarist Jason Banks was drafted in for a few gigs at the end of 2003 to cover for John Slater.

paragraph: At the end of 2003, Blaze began writing material for their third studio album, "Blood & Belief". Phil Greenhouse was replaced on drums by Jason Bowld for recording and Dave Knight for touring. The band began to tour for the album shortly after it was released in 2004, but were set back again by the news that John Slater could not perform a large section of the tour. Despite rejoining the band later in the year, Slater eventually left the band in September with Steve Wray to form the band Rise To Addiction. Bassist Wayne Banks and drummer Dave Knight left the band to join the Robin Gibb band in September 2004.

paragraph: Blaze performed a number of shows in 2004 and 2005 with the lineup of Bayley, guitarist Oliver Palotai, guitarist Luca Princiotta, bassist Nick Douglas, and drummer Daniel Löble. The two guitarists were eventually kept on as full members. The band's lineup shifted once again when Löble quit to join German power metal band Helloween early in 2005 and when Douglas returned to another German heavy metal band, Doro. The two were replaced by unknown German musicians Daniel Schild and Christian Ammann respectively. With the new lineup, Blaze began to work on a fourth studio album for a release in 2007, but in January that year it was announced the entire line-up had to separate from Bayley due to serious financial matters. Following the lineup change, Bayley opted to rename the band under his name, Blaze Bayley.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Blaze Bayley Band (2007–2011).

paragraph: In February 2007, Blaze Bayley Band (also known as BBB) added guitarists Nicolas Bermudez and Rich Newport, bassist Dave Bermudez, and drummer Rico Banderra and recorded the live DVD album "Alive in Poland", released later on that year. Bayley announced that Rich Newport had left the band to pursue a "career" as a guitar teacher later on that year, and Jay Walsh would replace him onstage for the remainder of the tour. Jay was made a full member of the band in November 2007. Bayley also announced the addition of drummer Lawrence Paterson, formerly of British metal bands Chokehold and Shadowkeep at the same time.

paragraph: In July 2008, Blaze Bayley Band (BBB) released their debut studio album, "The Man Who Would Not Die". The album also contained the band's first single, "Robot", despite only being available digitally. It is sometimes regarded as a mini-compilation as it includes many bonus tracks.

paragraph: In September Debbie Hatlands, Blaze's wife and manager of the band, died of a stroke after some weeks of recovery. The singer and the band, although distraught by the loss, bravely continue to perform in honour of her love and committed work. The band recorded another DVD live at Z7, "The Night That Will Not Die", which was released in March 2009. Blaze Bayley announced that the band had started recording for their new album on 28 September 2009. A contest was run on the band's forum: the first two people who correctly guessed the title of the new album would receive a free signed copy. The title was revealed to be Promise and Terror a few days later.

paragraph: The second album Promise and Terror was released on 1 February 2010. Professional reviews have generally been very positive about the album. The album was produced by Jason Edwards.

paragraph: On 6 February 2010 BBB started their 2010 world tour in Dudley UK. They spent the next months playing the UK, France, Italy, Germany before leaving for the South American leg of the tour. They then returned to Europe later in the year.

paragraph: In May 2010 Lawrence Paterson, the drummer for the band left due to unspecified personal and professional reasons. Paterson was also the author of the book "At The End of the Day", a biography of the Blaze Bayley Band. Also their manager, Anna, announced her departure from the band. She claimed that the band's idea of where to go next and hers were not in the same direction.

paragraph: Following the departure of Lawrence Paterson the Blaze Bayley Band engaged Italian drummer Claudio Tirincanti to continue the Promise and Terror tour. On 10 July 2010 Blaze Blayley claimed live on stage that his current album was his best-selling as a solo-artist shedding some light on the recent changes in his line-up and management.

paragraph: The BBB embarked on a short European tour in early 2011 and were supposed to follow that up in May 2011 with more dates in the UK. But surprisingly, on 29 March via his official channels, Blaze Bayley stated that he had to part ways with the band due to both health and financial reasons. Later emerged that a great problem has been the fact that the Bermudez brothers were frequently due to be bought flights back home to Colombia to renew their visas. The matter was heavy not only from the financial and bureaucratical point of view, but also musically: the BBB had often to find last minute substitutes, in the likes of Luke and Chris Appleton from the band Fury Uk or Dave Andrews that later will enter in the live band of the singer.

paragraph: On 31 March 2011, Blaze announced that he would continue as a solo performer working with different musicians.

paragraph: Alongside the reunion and new recordings of Wolfsbane, Bayley has played a two-week acoustic solo tour in the UK in September 2011 with fellow Wolfsbane guitarist Jase Edwards plus a few unplugged gigs in Italy with Andrea Neri on guitar. Footage of the acoustic shows with Jase Edwards can be seen on the Official Blaze Bayley YouTube Page.

paragraph: In 2011 Blaze presents the first new song with the renewed line-up, called "Black Country". In February 2012 Bayley toured Russia with Paul Di'Anno, starting a partnership between the two ex Iron Maiden singers who hit the road as "Blaze VS Paul" and "Double Trouble Tour" in 2012 and 2013.

paragraph: The singer hit the stages of some summer festivals and after that has been travelling to the USA in October/November 2011 for his first full US Headline tour since his days with Iron Maiden, supported by North-American musicians of the Canadian band Man the Destroyer plus American guitarist/producer Rick Plester, of international fame, who will work with Bayley in the future.

paragraph: On 26 December 2011 in a personal Christmas message on his website Blaze announced that his new album "The King of Metal" would be released on 8 March 2012. On the same day Blaze officially announced the first two legs of the King of Metal world tour on the official Blaze Bayley Facebook Page.

paragraph: "The King of Metal" album is recorded between Italy and Holland, mixed by Tony Newton at Steve Harris home studio, Rick Plester in the Usa and Raoul Soentken in The Netherlands.

paragraph: New line-up consists of 3 Italians (the confirmed drummer Claudio Tirincanti, bassist Lehmann, guitarist Andrea Neri) and Dutch youngster Thomas Zwijsen, a talented classic guitarist who became a cult-musician on YouTube for his acoustic arrangements of Iron Maiden's classics. Zwijsen co-wrote most of the music of the new Bayley's cd. The same line-up recorded the album and backed Blaze Bayley in the King of Metal European Tour, which counted more than 60 gigs.

paragraph: The busy schedule of 2012 has seen also an acoustic tour with Zwijsen (July), some appearances with Czech band Seven, a few gigs with Wolfsbane (October), a second co-headlining tour with Paul Di'Anno in Eastern Europe, Australia and New Zealand (November), and the prosecution of the successful unplugged tour that will touch also Brazil and Europe, with Zwijsen on classical guitar and Dutch violinist Anne Bakker.

paragraph: In 2013 the intense acoustic experience becomes also an official release in the catalogue of the singer: in partnership with Thomas Zwijsen, Blaze in fact released and EP ("Russian Holiday") of classically arranged tunes, working with Yellowdog Creative Project Management for the release. The artwork of the album was created by Akirant.es.

paragraph: Blaze then hits the USA for a special tour with an all-star band named The Foundry, with guitarist Rick Plester (Black Symphony), bass player John Moyer (Adrenaline Mob, Disturbed, Queensrÿche) and Scorpions drummer James Kottak, plus vocalist Shawn Austin. Later in the year the singer reached Canada for some acoustic gigs and then toured again with Di'Anno in Finland, Russia and Ukraine.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Blaze Bayley (2011–present).:Partnership with Absolva and "Infinite Entanglement" trilogy.

paragraph: Blaze Bayley announced "Soundtracks of my life", a double-cd best of, as a tribute to his 30th anniversary as a singer, released November 2013, and followed by an extensive world tour the following year. The album presents also two new tracks: "Hatred" and "Eating Children", written and performed by Blaze Bayley and Rick Plester. For both songs two promotional videoclips have been shot.

paragraph: After a first leg of the tour in South America, the singer presents the new live band for European gigs. They are the musicians of Manchester-based band Absolva: Chris Appleton (guitars, already seen live with Bayley), Dan Bate (bass, then temporarily replaced by Luke Appleton, brother of Chris and member world known act Iced Earth, and then again new Absolva permanent bass player Karl Schramm) and Martin McNee (drums).

paragraph: With the Absolva line-up Blaze records the DVD "Live in Prague" which contains a full show of the "Soundtracks of my life" European Tour plus bonuses. In Slovakia and Germany, with other musicians, Bayley then celebrates his 20th anniversary of joining Iron Maiden with a small tour with an exclusive set focused on songs of his period in the band with Steve Harris. Then the singer hits Canada and USA, the latter again under the moniker The Foundry with Plester, Moyer and Twisted Sister's drummer A.J. Pero and occasionally Bobby Jarzombek behind the kit. In 2015 he tours South America under the moniker "Metal Singers" together with vocalists Udo Dirkschneider, Ripper Owens and Mike Vescera.

paragraph: In March 2016, with new management - Mark Appleton (of independent record label Rocksector Records) - a new album 'Infinite Entanglement' was released, followed by an extensive European Tour with the Absolva line-up. The new album was a concept inspired by sci-fi themes like Blaze's early solo releases 'Silicon Messiah' & 'Tenth Dimension'. 'Infinite Entanglement' was written and recorded by Bayley & the musicians from Absolva, as well as writing contributor Michelle Sciarrotta. The record also featured backing vocal contributions from Luke Appleton of Iced Earth, Jo Robinson & Mel Adams of Aonia, & Liz Owen, nylon acoustic guitar from Thomas Zwijsen, violin from Anne Bakker, as well as voice actors Bayley himself, Aine Brewer, Rob Toogood & Michelle Sciarrotta. The European touring for 2016 was completed by a performance at Huskvarna Rock & Art festival in Sweden, including the choir & voice actors, & filmed for a possible future release. A vinyl edition of 'Infinite Entanglement' is due to be released early in 2017.

paragraph: During 2016 Bayley also toured Latin America and Canada with different musicians, followed by North America with Geoff Tate & Tim 'Ripper' Owens under the band name Trinity, a short-lived collaboration organised by Geoff Tate's management.

paragraph: In June 2016 Bayley was onstage as guest vocalist with Disturbed at Download Festival, England performing The Who's Baba O'Riley.

paragraph: Late in 2016 the second album in the 'Infinite Entanglement' trilogy was recorded with a working title 'Album 9' which is set for release on 3 March 2017. Co-written between Bayley, Chris Appleton & Michelle Sciarrotta, the album continues the sci-fi story & again features the same backing vocal/choir contributions as its predecessor, plus instrumental contributions from Thomas Zwijsen on nylon acoustic guitar & Anne Bakker on violin, as well as Uli Jon Roth's keyboard player Corvin Bahn who plays accordion. The voice actors also return to help continue the story.

paragraph: An extensive European tour is confirmed for February–May 2017, followed by a widespread tour of North America & Canada in August–September. The touring & recording band line-up from Absolva is cemented with Chris Appleton (guitar & backing vocals), Martin McNee (drums), Karl Schramm (bass & backing vocals).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Derek Sherinian was born in Laguna Beach, California. He began taking piano lessons at age five in Santa Cruz, California. After his junior year at Soquel High School, he received a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston where he was the roommate of future Megadeth guitarist and Trans-Siberian Orchestra musical director Al Pitrelli. He has since studied with other keyboardists, including Mitchel Forman, T Lavitz, Russell Ferrante and Alex Alessandroni.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Buddy Miles, Alice Cooper, KISS.

paragraph: Sherinian's first professional gig after leaving Boston was with ex-Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies drummer Buddy Miles touring the Chitlin' Circuit. Sherinian received his first big break with Alice Cooper in 1989 to tour in support of the platinum selling Trash album. Sherinian toured and recorded with Cooper on and off until 1998. Sherinian played offstage keyboards on the 1992 KISS Revenge tour.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Dream Theater.

paragraph: In 1994, Sherinian replaced Kevin Moore in the progressive metal/progressive rock band Dream Theater, originally just for the band's promotional tour for "Awake". On February 1995, however, he was made a full-time member of the band. He recorded the albums "A Change of Seasons" (1995), "Falling into Infinity" (1997), and "Once in a LIVEtime" (1998) with Dream Theater before being replaced in January 1999 by Jordan Rudess due to creative differences and turmoil within the band.

paragraph: Since 1999, Sherinian has recorded seven solo albums, featuring performances by numerous highly acclaimed musicians.

paragraph: Sherinian's first solo album, Planet X (1999), written and recorded with Australian drummer Virgil Donati, led to the formation of a band of the same name (Planet X). Guitar virtuoso Tony MacAlpine was recruited to complete the band. Sherinian has stated that his intention when forming Planet X was to create a group of musicians that "played their instruments so fiercely that they would strike fear in the hearts of all musicians".

paragraph: In 2001, Derek teamed with drummer Simon Phillips and guitarists Steve Lukather and Zakk Wylde to record "Inertia", followed by "Black Utopia" (2003). For "Black Utopia", three new faces joined Sherinian's group: bassist Billy Sheehan, rock guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, and jazz fusion guitarist Al Di Meola. With respect to this fusion-influenced lineup, Sherinian stated:

paragraph: Sherinian also calls the album "a lot darker and heavier than ["Inertia"]". In Japan, the cover of "Black Utopia" was altered to remove the cross in the title without Sherinian's consent; Sherinian has commented that the cross "meant nothing" and was added for aesthetic purposes.

paragraph: Sherinian extended further into the fusion realm by collaborating with guitarist Allan Holdsworth and violinist Jerry Goodman (formerly of the Mahavishnu Orchestra) on "Mythology" (2004). In addition to another appearance by Phillips, other musicians appearing on this recording were Zakk Wylde, John Sykes, Steve Stevens, and Tony Franklin.

Sherinian was personally invited by guitarists Steve Vai, and Yngwie Malmsteen to join the Generation Axe Asia/ A Night Of Guitars Tour also featuring Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt, and Tosin Abasi.

paragraph: Section::::Influences and acclaim from other artists.

paragraph: In a 2000 interview, Sherinian cited his early keyboard influences as being Jan Hammer (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake & Palmer and The Nice), Rick Wakeman (Yes), and Elton John. Other influences include guitarists Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Beck, and Eddie Van Halen. Sherinian enjoys co-writing material with fellow musicians, and often finds that he writes better material with drummers. Sherinian cites Van Halen's guitar playing as having a direct influence on his aggressive unique approach to keyboards in terms of technique as well as tone; his unique signature lead patches contain numerous elements of guitar sounds such as distortion, harmonics, and palm-muting, eventually leading to playing a gig with Eddie for a party at Van Halen's home in 2006, of which Sherinian said "It was the highlight of my career, it was completely surreal." Sherinian's work with noted Toto guitarist Steve Lukather on the 2001 solo CD "Inertia" was cited by Lukather as "probably my best recorded work in my whole career. Great record! I'm very proud of it!".

paragraph: Sherinian's collaborations with top musicians were featured in a 2007 article in "Guitar World" magazine, where guitarist Zakk Wylde offered "People want to play with him because he's that good. He can play everything from the easiest licks on a piano to the most complex Beethoven sonatas with ease." Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci added "...Derek -considering the fact that he's heavily into guitarists and rock music, his history, and the range of all the great guitarists he's worked with —plays with a fire unheard of from most keyboardists." Sherinian explains that he enlists a variety of guitarists because he "[does not] think there is one guitarist who can cover all the styles featured on [the] albums." Sherinian often tailors songs for specific guitarists, such as Holdsworth and Wylde for "Day of the Dead" (off "Mythology"); in this respect, he seeks to take certain aspects of genres and make them ""collide in an eloquent way"".

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.

paragraph: Derek Sherinian currently uses and endorses Korg,Clavia, and Dexibell keyboards. Sherinian was presented the G2 Modular synth serial number 001 by Clavia representative Bengt Lilja in January 2004. As a Korg endorsee, Sherinian was one of the first artists to adopt the Korg Trinity keyboard series in 1996. In collaboration with KORG sound designer Jack Hotop, they created Sherinian's signature "guitaristic" lead sound (the "Monster Lead", made famous on the Dream Theater album "Falling into Infinity") on the Trinity, as well as other, more "modern" and "aggressive" keyboard patches, owing to his fondness of guitar tones and technique. Derek is currently using the KORG Kronos X 61 in the studio and live.

paragraph: Derek also uses the Hammond B3 organ; he thinks that ""every rock keyboardist should have a B3 and overdriven Leslie as part of their sound.""

paragraph: Derek is also known for being one of the first keyboardists to use vertical keyboard stands, influencing a new generation of keyboardists.

paragraph: Sherinian is also an avid vintage gear collector. His collection consists of: 1977 Yamaha C.F. Conservatory Series Grand Piano, 1962 Hammond B3, 1959 Hammond C3, aka "Big Red" Moog Taurus Pedals. LAMM Memorymoog modified by Rudi Linhard, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, 1975 Fender Rhodes 73-key Suitcase Model, 1973 Wurlitzer 200 Electric piano, Hohner Clavinet D6, (3) Leslie 147 speakers, all loaded with a vintage JBL speakers and horn drivers, powered by Marshall 100 watt plexi heads.

paragraph: Johnny Lee Middleton

paragraph: Johnny Lee Middleton (born May 7, 1963 in St. Petersburg, FL) is an American musician and songwriter, best known as the bass guitar player for Savatage and Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

paragraph: Section::::Musical beginnings.

paragraph: A lifelong resident of the St. Petersburg area, Middleton's first experience as a performing musician was as first-chair trumpet in the sixth-grade orchestra. The band director provided early encouragement. "I'd get free lessons from him, so I learned how to play the saxophone, the clarinet, [and] the oboe. He kind of gave me an ear for music."

paragraph: As a bass player, however, Middleton is largely self-taught. At age 14, he joined the high-school jazz band. With the bass rig behind him, he quickly discovered "the way the bass moves the earth" – and just as quickly realized "you could get more girls by playing bass instead of trumpet." He invested $35 in his first bass, locked himself in his bedroom with REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, and Black Sabbath records, and learned to play along. Among his influences, Middleton counts Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler, Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy), Geddy Lee (Rush), Chris Squire (Yes), John Entwistle (The Who), and Paul McCartney (The Beatles).

paragraph: Another influential experience – also at age 14 – was his first concert: Blue Öyster Cult. Middleton left the show knowing he wanted to be a professional bass player. "After that first concert, I was hooked. I was like, 'I want to be up there. I want to do that.

paragraph: Later in high school, Middleton and two friends formed his first band, Mariah. The trio performed regularly at high-school parties and other events. After graduation, Middleton played in several local bands before joining Lefty, a glam band that was already fairly well known on the Florida club circuit. Middleton soon found himself onstage nearly every night, decked out in makeup and spandex, playing to packed clubs across Florida and the South. "We got a lot of stage experience," he says. "We did a lot of covers, and some original. We were like a Poison before Poison. Everyone had bleached blonde hair, and wore a lot of makeup and hairspray. We were bizarre, but we would pack the clubs."

paragraph: Section::::Savatage.

paragraph: Middleton spent several years with Lefty, the nightly shows honing both his bass chops and his stage presence. And it was during this time that he first crossed paths with Savatage, a decidedly un-glam metal band based in the Tampa, Florida area, near his hometown of St. Petersburg.

paragraph: By 1984, Savatage had released several albums, but guitarist Criss Oliva and drummer Steve Wacholz were losing patience with bass player Keith Collins. That year, Wacholz spotted Middleton onstage with Lefty at a local club. Although the Lefty image was a far cry from that of the hard-edged Savatage, Middleton's talent and stage presence caught Wacholz' attention. Wacholz passed Middleton's name to Savatage founder and singer Jon Oliva. Like Wacholz, Oliva had little interest in the Lefty look, but he too was impressed with Middleton's performance.

paragraph: When invited to join Savatage, however, Middleton turned the offer down. The members of Savatage all worked other jobs, and Middleton's Lefty gig paid well enough to live on without the need for outside work. "Steve [Wacholz] approached me and offered me the bass gig. I said, 'I'm not going to [work] a day job – I'm making $250 a week.' For me, being 19-20 years old, that was good money. I said, 'When you can offer me a salary, come back and see me.

paragraph: But eventually, playing cover songs with Lefty lost its appeal. "We did well, but it got old," Middleton says. Late in 1985, Savatage approached Middleton again. Preparing to record their next album, they were still looking to replace Collins. This time, Middleton agreed: "Somehow I was fed up with this bar-band-shit, even though it was a good living, getting through the week with $250, even if it meant we had to work each night for it. At the time I was only 20, 21 years old. The guys from my band would have loved to have lynched me, when I stepped out. Four weeks later I couldn't have cared less. I was in London with Savatage – and had a fuckin' great time!"

paragraph: Middleton's first appearance on a Savatage recording was 1986's "Fight for the Rock", an album the band now refers to as "Fight for the Nightmare." "We recorded a great record," he says, but the record label "took our record, mangled the hell out of it, and tried to make us into something we weren't, when they thought the market was going more poppy. It was a learning experience." The experience improved with 1987's breakthrough "Hall of the Mountain King", which marked the band's first collaboration with producer Paul O'Neill. The title track received significant airplay on hard-rock radio and MTV's "Headbanger's Ball". "Gutter Ballet" (1989) and "" (1991) continued and solidified the partnership with O'Neill. During this time, Savatage embarked on several American and European tours, opening for bands such as Motörhead, Dio, and Megadeth.

paragraph: 1993 saw the first significant change in the Savatage lineup since Middleton's arrival in 1985. Singer Jon Oliva departed, and the remaining members of Savatage recorded and released "Edge of Thorns" with new vocalist Zak Stevens. Middleton describes "Edge of Thorns" as "about my favorite record, due to the fact that I like the bass mix in it, and it was the last one me and Criss got to do together. Jon had stepped down to pursue his Broadway thing, and it was me and Criss against the world, really. Everything was against us, and we fought back and won."

paragraph: The victory was short-lived. On October 17, 1993, Criss Oliva's car was struck head-on by a drunk driver. Oliva was killed instantly.

paragraph: Middleton did not play on 1994's "Handful of Rain". He entered the studio, saw Criss Oliva's signature white guitar, and – still devastated by Oliva's death only months before – turned around and walked out. But he joined the reunited and rebuilt Savatage for the "Handful of Rain" tour, and in early 1995 he rejoined the band in the studio to record their ninth album "Dead Winter Dead", and has remained in Savatage since then.

paragraph: Section::::Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

paragraph: Among the tracks on "Dead Winter Dead" was "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)", an instrumental medley of the Christmas standards "Carol of the Bells" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," featuring a string orchestra alongside the electric guitars. In late 1995, "Christmas Eve" was released as a single to hundreds of radio stations across the United States. Station managers – intimidated by the Savatage name, the band believes – largely ignored it.

paragraph: The Savatage-branded "Christmas Eve" made it on the air in only a few markets that year. But in those markets it garnered an impressive response – so impressive that producer O'Neill decided to build an entirely new project upon the song's larger-than-life combination of hard-rock music and classical arrangements. In the summer of 1996, the members of Savatage, including Middleton, returned to the studio with O'Neill. Joined by a full orchestra and multiple singers, the band recorded "Christmas Eve and Other Stories", a concept album which told the story of an angel descending to earth to search for the true meaning of Christmas.

paragraph: In late 1996, an unknown group called Trans-Siberian Orchestra released their first single, "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24," to more than 300 radio stations across the United States. Very few station managers had any idea that the same song had landed on their desks the year before. Even fewer knew that the new Trans-Siberian Orchestra was, in fact, essentially an extension of Savatage. "Christmas Eve" hit the airwaves, and the phone lines lit up nationwide.

paragraph: Largely on the strength of that song, "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" has since sold nearly 3 million copies and launched the TSO empire. Since 1996, TSO has released four more albums – "The Christmas Attic" (1998), "Beethoven's Last Night" (2000), "The Lost Christmas Eve" (2004), and "Night Castle" (2009) – all of which feature Middleton on bass. Together, they have sold nearly 4 million copies.

paragraph: Middleton has also performed with TSO's annual holiday tour since its inception. In 2008 alone, the two Trans-Siberian Orchestra touring companies combined played nearly 150 shows for over 1 million people.

paragraph: Savatage started Trans Siberian Orchestra because of some issues and difficulties.

paragraph: Section::::Solo project.

paragraph: In early 2008, Middleton began to try his hand at making music on his own. He soon discovered that songwriting "was like opening up another side of my mind that I never knew existed." He took several raw tracks to singer and long time friend John Haikara who added lyrics, vocals and lead guitar. The tracks were then mixed by Jim Morris at Tampa,Fl famed Morrisound Studios. Drums were added by Mike Dillon veteran Tampa Bay rocker. His first two solo singles, "Tennessee" and "Broken Wings," were released in late 2008.

paragraph: Luise Jaide

paragraph: Luise Jaide (also Louise Jaide-Schlosser) (26 March 1842 – 2 January 1914) was a German operatic mezzo-soprano who had an active career during the latter half of the 19th century. Among her signature roles were Amneris in "Aida", Azucena in "Il trovatore", Frau Reich in "The Merry Wives of Windsor", Idamante in "Idomeneo", Irmentraud in "Der Waffenschmied", and Mary in "The Flying Dutchman". She is best remembered today for playing several roles in the first complete presentation of Richard Wagner's "The Ring Cycle" at the very first Bayreuth Festival in 1876.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Born Luise Jaide in Darmstadt, Jaide studied at the Stuttgart Conservatory. She made her professional opera debut in 1859 as Pierotto in Gaetano Donizetti's "Linda di Chamounix" at the Dresden Court Theater under the name Louise Orth. Subsequent engagements took her to the Municipal Theater of Bremen and the German Opera Theater in Rotterdam. From 1861 to 1862, she was committed to the Staatsoper Hannover and she performed at the Stadttheater Regensburg from 1862 to 1865. She returned to Darmstadt in 1865, where she remained for the next twelve years, performing under the name of Louise Jaide.

paragraph: In 1872, Richard Wagner heard Jaide perform in Darmstadt and was very impressed by her vocal and dramatic abilities. He invited her to take part in the first presentation of the complete Ring Cycle at the Bayreuth Festival in 1876. This was the first time that the third and fourth operas in the Ring cycle, "Siegfried" and "Götterdämmerung", were heard. Jaide played Erda in "Siegfried" at its première on August 16, 1876, and she played Waltraute in "Götterdämmerung" at its première on August 17, 1876. She also sang the role of Waltraute in Wagner's "Die Walküre" as part of the first complete Ring cycle on August 14, 1876.

paragraph: As a guest artist Jaide appeared at the Staatsoper Stuttgart (1873), the opera house in Wiesbaden (1874), the Vienna State Opera (1874 and 1877), and the Oper Frankfurt (1875). From 1878 to 1879, Jaide was a member of the opera house in Bremen. From 1879 to 1889, she was committed to the opera house in Rotterdam. From 1889 to 1890, she was a principal artist at the Vlaamse Opera, after which she retired from the stage. After her opera career ended, Jaide dedicated herself to teaching aspiring opera singers in Darmstadt.
