My 2 granddaughters (12 and 1): my Pride and Joy!

About Me

It's almost been 2 months already ;-( since I've seen and met CHICAGO in Paris! (July 29, 2008) and there isn't a day and night that goes by, I think of it and cherish that HOT night in Paris. CHICAGO IS 'HERE IN MY HEART' 4EVER! One SUNNY day (one of the few this summer of 2008) at the Zoo, Rotterdam, August 1, 2008 with my 4 grandkids, my son and his wife, + my 15 yr. old daughter, Tuesday, July 29, 2008! A very HOT day and 'CHICAGO CONCERT NIGHT in Paris ! I know all the European CHICAGO fans are more than thrilled and happy they finaly had the chance to see and hear Chicago 'LIVE' again, 16 -31 July 2008. I KNOW I AM! Here's a photo impression of that night and the next day in Paris. (incl. with some pictures of my (grand)kids, made this year). You'll find more about it on my page www.scheffland.com. ..

Here's also an impression with some golden oldies 'Saturday in the Park', 'Beginnings' and last but not least "I'm a Man" and "Make Me Smile" they played that night! You can read more about this HOT CHICAGO night in paris here in my Blog. Jason and me, Paris, July 29, 2008 Robert Lamm and me, July 29, 2008 Paris.
My 3 kids, (son 33) and my 2 daughters of 15 and 39 years 'old'.
The daddy of my 2 oldest kids used to be a famous bassplayer( here on the left) in the 60/70's (in 1969 with The Motions) so I'm allowed to say: ... This 'myspace' is mostly ABOUT MY FAVO music and MUSICIANS (for more than 45 years now) and a tribute to some of my all-time favourite singers, composers, best musicians ever. Like cutie pie ROBERT LAMM of the band CHICAGO and the other great musicians of this band. I also wanna pay tribute to my 'own' favo bassplayer and the father of my 2 kids and grandpa of our 4 grandkids, Paul! Here's to you "DARLING", our favorite song in 1968 by the Beach Boys. <

My Interests

a Flashback to 1992: I NEED that 'old' SUN! The Secret Power of Giving. When we give from the heart we automatically feel energized and joyful. True giving is a grace filled act. It has the power to move energy and shift realities. It is important to understand that when we give to someone else we are giving to ourselves.

I'd like to meet:

Hope to meet CHICAGO AGAIN. I'm thankfull to have met Robert , Bill, Jason and Lee backstage in Paris, where they did an awesome concert, July 29,2008. I'm happy I got to thank them for all of their brilliant and significant music. One of them is mr. Robert Lamm! This was one of my favo songs that night! I still treasure this fabulous picture I took of Robert Lamm, performing with Chicago, October 10, 1999, in the RAI Amsterdam.

Also check out "SONG: The World's Best Songwriters on Creating the Music That Moves Us", a compilation of 100 INTERVIEWS, 1984-2006 . Robert Lamm is on Page 178!Chicago's music - now and more than 40 years - is and has been very significant in my life. ....

I'm sooooo happy I got to meet Jason Scheff backstage in Paris! He is THE COOLEST and BEST BASSPLAYER since my ex-hubby, who - for ME - was the coolest and most sexy bassplayer ever! But that was a long time ago. Now Jason is! See him here in action on the Paris stage, July 29, 2008. Jason Scheff RULEZZZZ! As a musician as well as a caring human being!

Music:

Can't wait to hear ALL of this brilliant piece of music by the GREAT Bill Champlin. Also take a look at Bill's son Will Champlin! Great NEW talent! Will Champlin and his band at 12th and Porter Nashville playing his song 'The Answer'. The Song has a John Mayer, but a touch more Urban Soul. If you like John Legend or Bruce Hornsby, you'd love Will C's music. Performed aug 8th, features Will Champlin on Piano & Lead Vocals Jonathan Crone on Guitar and backing vocals Mike Walter on Drums Cameron Roberts on Bass and backing vocals Jon Jackson on aux Keys INTENSITY IS THE KEY! (quote: Robert Lamm from 'Beginnings' 1972) one of my FAVO songs ever. I'm hooked on this video of Jason Scheff's LIVE version of his beautiful song "Heart Of Mine".

Go there and make yourself at home!

Like this 'NEW' (to me) sound, the voice, the looks of Marc Thomas from the Bay Area SF CA. Sure hope to hear more of him. I was blown away seeing this: PETER CETERA's version of "25 0r 6 to 4". ONE OF MY ALL TIMES FAVO SONGS 'WHISHING YOU WERE HERE' BY CHICAGO and THE BEACH BOYS, here sung LIVE at a New Years party 1975 at a Chicago Rock Night. Tears in my eyes when I watch this one. Terry Kath (rip) just looks adorable here. The band CHICAGO (CTA) has always been 'ON MY MIND'! For more than 40 years! Watch one of the cutest vids of Chicago, thnx to Jimmy Pankow, the sexiest tromboneplayer ever and writer and singer of this song 'YOU ARE ON MY MIND! Can't get enough of Jimmy here! I was so dissapointed that Jimmy wasn't present at the Chicago Europe tour 2008. I dearly missed him and Walt at the concert in Paris! ThIS IS IT! Chicago's hit I'm a Man- Alternate/Unseen Version (Germany 1969) This is so 'for real'. Vastly superior to the other versions of this great Stevie Winwood song. This is THE version I know by heart, by head, every sound of it, every move of Terry, Peter, Robert, Lee, Jimmy, Walter, Danny and the outstanding drumsolo and Laudir de Oliveira brings tears to my eyes of JOY and good feelings. It's so great to actually SEE them performing this great song here so many years ago.. yet thrilled watching Robert Lamm started to sing this song in Paris, 2008!

Every time I hear the late Terry Kath sing this great composition by Jimmy Pankow "COLOUR MY WORLD", it makes me happy, I was there when he sang the lead, Robert playing the piano so beautiful on this song 'LIVE' in Amsterdam in 1969.(!) 1975 : MEMORABLE, ADORABLE, CHICAGO way back then, Terry, Robert, Peter performing Dialogue. It was AWESOME hearing Chicago perform "Stone Of Sisyphus' in Paris, July 29, 2008. This is from their Tour in Japan, April 2008. Chicago with Hotei- Battle Without Honor or Humanity (2008) This is so kewl! .

Besides CHICAGO, these are some of my favo artists too I have always loved this song by JOURNEY: 'DON'T STOP BELIEVING'> Sunday June 15, 2008 I saw and heard 'Arnel Pineda', the new singer of Journey sing this song LIVE at Arrow Rock Festival in Holland! WOW. What a performance! Watch Arnel Pineda here with his former band 'ZOO' performing Journey's "Faithfully". No wonder he was discovered by Journey and is now THEIR leadsinger!

The same performance as here in Chile, Journey and Arnel Pineda did in Holland, at Arrow Rock, June 15, 2008! OUTSTANDING! "NEW" MUSICIANS I LOVE: ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND:
