BartendingBear

One of my favorite hightlights...

1970 - Todd Rundgren plays all instruments by himself on Runt, the first "do it yourself" production

Laying the foundation for the name of one of his later albums, "A Wizard, A True Star"!

I am one of the biggest "Todd" fans in the world, in fact one of the first songs I played for my wife back when we were both young, good looking and oh so indestructible was "Just One Victory". In fact one of my best selling songs was written very much in the style of Turn the World Around" certain riffs and so on are inspired by that song. So cool to know that there are still others like me that are still alive and not in nursing homes! Rock on BartendingBear!
